The Handmaid’s Tale won five awards during the CBS telecast – tying HBO’s limited series Big Little Lies for the most primetime Emmy wins -- including best drama series honors and a best drama actress statuette for series star Elisabeth Moss. The Handmaid's Tale became the first series from a streaming service to win an Emmy for Best Drama Series.
Overall, HBO won 10 awards to lead all networks – including a historic win for Julie Louis-Dreyfus, who earned a record sixth straight Emmy statuette in the best actress in a comedy series category for her role as Selina Meyer in the network’s series Veep. The series also won its third consecutive Emmy in the best comedy series category.
NBC won six Primetime Emmy Awards – paced by four wins for Saturday Night Live -- followed by Hulu (five awards), Netflix (four awards) and FX Networks (two awards).
Shows winning two primetime Emmy Awards include FX’s Atlanta, which won two awards for series star Donald Glover (Outstanding Actor in A Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series). HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which was a repeat winner in the Variety Talk Series category; and Netflix’s Black Mirror: San Junipero, which won for Outstanding Television Movie.
Three of the top five Emmy-nominated series – HBO’s Westworld, Fx’s FEUD: Bette And Joan, and Netflix’s Stranger Things – failed to win Primetime Emmy Awards.
