Porter won the award for his role in the FX series "Pose".

HBO'S "Game of Thrones" slated its spot in T.V. history taking home over a dozen trophies for their final season.

"Game of Thrones" is now tied with "Hill Street Blues," "L.A. Law," "The West Wing," and "Mad Men" for most wins in the best drama category.

It's the mid-point between the longest and shortest days of the year where the sun is directly over the equator and the earth gets nearly the same amount of daylight and darkness.
