Another Emmy Awards are behind us, and The Crown was shining brighter than any other show. The royal drama was the biggest winner of the night, with seven awards in major categories, while the feel-good comedy Ted Lasso dominated the comedy field.

What makes The Crown’s victory so impressive is the fact it picked up the awards in all of the categories it was nominated in. In addition to walking away with the outstanding drama series award, it also received trophies in all four drama acting categories and picked up trophies for outstanding directing and writing for a drama series.

Ted Lasso won the award for outstanding comedy series, while its stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein picked up acting awards in their supportive categories. HBO Max series Hacks also had a strong showing and picked up three awards, including the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Jean Smart.

When it came to mini-series, Mare of Easttown stars Kate Winslet, Evan Peters, and Julianne Nicholson brought its award total to three. The critically acclaimed HBO drama, however, failed to beat The Queen’s Gambit and missed out on the award for outstanding limited or anthology series.

The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards were held on September 19th, with Cedric the Entertainer hosting the festivities.
