Amazon91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淭he Marvelous Mrs. Maisel91裸聊视频� became the first streaming series to win top Emmy comedy honours and HBO91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淕ame of Thrones91裸聊视频� recaptured the best drama series award Monday at a ceremony that largely slighted its most ethnically diverse field of nominees ever.
With the exception of 91裸聊视频淪aturday Night Live,91裸聊视频� broadcast shows were shut out of the top awards as 21st-century platforms continued to overshadow traditional network fare like 91裸聊视频淭his Is Us.91裸聊视频�
HBO, which had ceded its top-dog status in total nominations for the first time in 17 years in July (108, to Netflix91裸聊视频檚 112), ended up in a tie for wins with the streaming service at 23 each.
91裸聊视频淭he Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,91裸聊视频� a freshman sitcom about an unhappy 1950s homemaker liberated by stand-up comedy, earned best actress honours for star Rachel Brosnahan.
Her castmate Alex Borstein earned the supporting actress trophy and the series creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino (91裸聊视频淕ilmore Girls91裸聊视频�), nabbed writing and directing awards.
Claire Foy of 91裸聊视频淭he Crown91裸聊视频� and Matthew Rhys of 91裸聊视频淭he Americans91裸聊视频� won top drama acting Emmys, their first trophies for the roles and last chance to claim them, with Foy91裸聊视频檚 role as Queen Elizabeth II going to another actress and Rhys91裸聊视频� show wrapped.
The field bested by Foy included last year91裸聊视频檚 winner Elisabeth Moss for 91裸聊视频淭he Handmaid91裸聊视频檚 Tale91裸聊视频� and Sandra Oh of 91裸聊视频淜illing Eve,91裸聊视频� who would have been the first actor of Asian descent to get a top drama award.
91裸聊视频淭his wasn91裸聊视频檛 supposed to happen,91裸聊视频� said a startled Foy. She played the young British queen who, as the series continues, will be shown advancing in years.
91裸聊视频淕ame of Thrones,91裸聊视频� which sat out last year91裸聊视频檚 Emmys because of scheduling, won its third best drama trophy despite competition from defending champ 91裸聊视频淭he Handmaid91裸聊视频檚 Tale.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淭hank you for letting us take care of your people,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频滸ame of Thrones91裸聊视频� producer D.B. Weiss said to George R.R. Martin, whose novels and their characters fuel the drama.
In a ceremony that started out congratulating TV academy voters for the most historically diverse field of nominees yet, the early awards all went solely to whites.
An African-American sweep of guest series actor awards at the recent creative arts Emmys suggested big changes ahead for the awards, which only recently have given significant honours to performers and creators of colour.
But there was disappointment for 91裸聊视频淎tlanta,91裸聊视频� which had claimed acting and directing trophies last year for its star and creator Donald Glover and seemed poised for more with 16 nominations.
Rather than become the first black-led comedy in 33 years to be named the best (since 91裸聊视频淭he Cosby Show91裸聊视频� in 1985), 91裸聊视频淎tlanta91裸聊视频� was shut out Monday (it won two awards, including guest actor for Katt Williams, last week).
The showing by 91裸聊视频淢rs. Maisel91裸聊视频� extended the long winning streak of shows that focus on white lives, including 91裸聊视频淢odern Family91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淔riends,91裸聊视频� with ethnic minorities rarely given screen time.
91裸聊视频淟et91裸聊视频檚 get it trending: #EmmysSoWhite,91裸聊视频� presenter James Corden joked at the ceremony91裸聊视频檚 midway point.
Then Regina King broke the string, with a best actress win in a limited series or movie for 91裸聊视频淪even Seconds,91裸聊视频� which tracks the fallout from a white police officer91裸聊视频檚 traffic accident involving a black teenager.
91裸聊视频淚 feel like a lot of times we are so divided as a country that things are always black and white. I91裸聊视频檓 guilty of that a lot of times. I think that probably played into my assumption the chances of me winning was so small,91裸聊视频� King said backstage.
Darren Criss, who is of Filipino descent, won the lead acting award for the miniseries 91裸聊视频淭he Assassination of Gianni Versace,91裸聊视频� which won best limited series. Black actress Thandie Newton won best supporting drama actress for 91裸聊视频淲estworld.91裸聊视频�
Peter Dinklage added a third acting trophy to his collection for 91裸聊视频淕ame of Thrones.91裸聊视频�
Brosnahan used her acceptance speech to give a shout-out to her comedy91裸聊视频檚 celebration of women power.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 about a woman who91裸聊视频檚 finding her voice anew, and it91裸聊视频檚 one of the things that91裸聊视频檚 happening all over the country now,91裸聊视频� she said. She urged the audience to exercise that power by voting.
Bill Hader collected the best comedy actor award for 91裸聊视频淏arry,91裸聊视频� a dark comedy about a hired killer who stumbles into a possible acting career.
Henry Winkler, aka 91裸聊视频淭he Fonz,91裸聊视频� won a supporting actor award 91裸聊视频� his first Emmy 91裸聊视频� for 91裸聊视频淏arry,91裸聊视频� four decades after gaining fame for his role in 91裸聊视频淗appy Days.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淚f you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you. Tonight, I got to clear the table,91裸聊视频� an ebullient Winkler said, with an equally delighted auditorium audience rising to give him a standing ovation. To his grown children, he said: 91裸聊视频淵ou can go to bed now, daddy won!91裸聊视频�
The biggest award won by a broadcast network was 91裸聊视频淪aturday Night Live91裸聊视频� for best variety sketch series.

The Emmys had a real-life dramatic moment when winning director Glenn Weiss, noting his mother had died two weeks ago, proposed to his girlfriend , Jan Svendsen.
91裸聊视频淵ou wonder why I don91裸聊视频檛 want to call you my girlfriend? It91裸聊视频檚 because I want to call you my wife,91裸聊视频� Weiss said. She said yes, he put his mother91裸聊视频檚 ring on her finger and the crowd whooped and cheered.
John Oliver, in picking up the trophy for best variety talk show award for 91裸聊视频淟ast Week Tonight,91裸聊视频� thanked Weiss91裸聊视频� girlfriend for giving the right answer or, he joked, the whole ceremony could have gone south.
The Emmys kicked off with a song, 91裸聊视频淲e Solved It,91裸聊视频� a self-mocking celebration to the diversity of nominees sung by stars including Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson. The tune included a mention of Oh91裸聊视频檚 possible victory: 91裸聊视频淭here were none, now there91裸聊视频檚 one, so we91裸聊视频檙e done,91裸聊视频� the comedians sang.
Oh played along from her seat: 91裸聊视频淭hank you, but it91裸聊视频檚 an honour just to be Asian,91裸聊视频� said the Korean-Canadian actress.
91裸聊视频淪aturday Night Live91裸聊视频� creator Lorne Michaels, producing his second Emmy telecast in 30 years, was tasked with turning viewership around after the 2017 show91裸聊视频檚 audience of 11.4 million narrowly avoided the embarrassment of setting a new low.
The ceremony clearly bore his stamp, with Michael Che and Colin Jost as hosts and familiar 91裸聊视频淪NL91裸聊视频� faces, including Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin, as presenters and nominees. The long-running NBC sketch show, already the top Emmy winner ever with 71, won again for best variety sketch series.
The pressure was on Michaels because NBC and other broadcasters are increasingly reliant on awards and other live events to draw viewers distracted by online options.
The networks, which air the Emmy telecast on a rotating basis, are so eager for the ad dollars it generates and its promotional value for fall shows that they endure online competitors sharing 91裸聊视频� and dominating 91裸聊视频� the stage.
