HBO outlasted Amazon Prime Video and Netflix as the three services dominated 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards during a live ceremony that featured several surprises among the night’s winners.
HBO garnered nine Emmy wins during the live telecast to top all services, according to the TV Academy. Amazon Prime Video finished second, drawing seven awards and topping Netflix’s four wins during Fox’s live telecast.
Prime Video comedy Fleabag won six of the streaming service’s seven awards, including a surprise win in the best comedy series category. The sophomore series topped category favorites The Marvelous Mrs. Masiel, which won last year, and HBO’s Veep, which had won the previous three years.
Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge also won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy, ending Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ record six consecutive wins in years in which she was nominated for the award. Dreyfus was not eligible to win the award last year, which was won by Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.)
NBC and FX were the only other networks with multiple wins with two each.
Overall including Creative Arts Emmys, HBO tallied 34 Emmy wins, with Netflix finishing second with 27 and Amazon Prime Video finishing third with 15. National Geographic was fourth with eight wins, with NBC rounding out the top five with seven statuettes.
HBO Game Of Thrones made one last Emmy splash, winning a total of 12 Emmys -- including a second straight Emmy for best drama series -- to top all shows. The network’s limited series Chernobyl finished second with 10 Emmy wins, including Outstanding Limited Series. Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel finished third with eight Emmy wins.
