Over the years, movie lovers have seen many medical drama television series, but Grey's Anatomy stands out. Since premiering on March 27, 2005, the show has continued airing for 19 seasons with about 400 episodes. Created by Shonda Rhimes, the series revolves around how surgical interns and their supervisors embark on a medical journey where they become part of heart-wrenching and make life-changing decisions to become the finest doctors.

Considering how the drama features an interesting storyline and some of Hollywood's most talented actors, it is no surprise that it has bagged many awards. Recently, Grey's Anatomy showed the world why it is one of the greatest medical dramas in history as it bagged another recognition. Here are the details.
