HBO's record-breaking fantasy epic "Game of Thrones" stormed back onto the Emmys stage on Monday, winning the coveted best drama series prize on a night full of surprises, including an on-air marriage proposal that stunned the audience.

The other big story of the gala, television's answer to the Oscars, was the huge success of eight Emmys overall for best comedy series "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel," Amazon's story of a 1950s housewife-turned-stand up comic.

"The Handmaid's Tale" -- last year's best drama and an early favorite for more hardware -- went home empty-handed from the event at the Microsoft Theater, having won three minor awards handed out a week ago.
