The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards kicked off on Monday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California with “Saturday Night Live” stars and Weekend Update co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che at the helm.
The awards show marked an unprecedented standoff between TV giants HBO and Netflix, which broke the premium cable channel’s 17-year streak with an impressive 112 nominations across all categories. HBO, which scored 108 nods this year, had a bit of a head start, already outpacing the streaming service at the Creative Arts Emmys last week.
In the end, HBO and Netflix tied, with each picking up 23 Emmy awards total. “The Crown” made a particularly strong showing for the streaming service. “Game of Thrones” is still, however, the jewel in HBO’s crown, walking away with the award for Outstanding Drama Series and some more gold for Peter Dinklage’s trophy case.
But it was critical darling “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” from Amazon that was the runaway hit of the evening, picking up trophies in five categories, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Rachel Brosnahan.
And the Emmy gods also shined upon “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” which made winners out of Ryan Murphy for directing and creating the limited series, and Darren Criss for his portrayal of infamous serial killer Andrew Cunanan.
