Game of Thrones Up For PGA and ADG Awards in 2017!

Game of Thrones may add two more awards to its overladen trophy shelf in the next month, courtesy of two separate announcements made today.

The Art Directors Guild have made their nominations for the 21st Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, and GoT, represented by production designer Deborah Riley, made the short list!

Game of Thrones will compete for the ADG award recognizing excellence for a One-Hour Period or Fantasy Single-Camera Series.  The episodes representing the show’s work for season 6 are episode 6, “Blood of My Blood,” episode 7 “The Broken Man,” and episode 8 “No One.”

The other shows in competition this year include Stranger Things, The Crown, The Man in the High Castle, and Westworld. Game of Thrones and Riley won this award previously in 2016 for their work on season 5.

The winners will be announced in a ceremony on February 11th at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in California.
