The Emmys happened overnight and it was the first time in almost 20 years that HBO didn’t dominate the Primetime Emmy Awards – thanks to Netflix!

HBO and Netflix tied for 23 awards each.

There was a proposal! Glenn Weiss won the award for best director of a variety special. He used the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend Jan Svendsen!

In the key drama categories, HBO's Game of Thrones won Outstanding Drama Series, while Claire Foy was the winner in Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for The Crown.

Peter Dinklage captured the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series went to Henry Winkler, for his role in Barry (a series I haven’t actually watched yet but the concept intrigues me; it’s about a man who travels to Los Angeles to kill someone and then finds himself joining the local arts scene. Yes please!)

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story captured the Outstanding Limited Series award while Charlie Brooker's sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror was the winner of the Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie or Dramatic Special category.
