Across the pond, The Crown had a royal night, taking home the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. This marks the first time a streaming series has won this prestigious award four years in a row. The Netflix drama also scooped up awards for its leading ladies, Olivia Colman and Gillian Anderson, and supporting actor, Tobias Menzies. Talk about a coronation!
Snubs and Surprises
The Mandalorian's Big Miss
While The Mandalorian was the clear fan favorite going into the night, the baby Yoda-led series missed out on the big win for Outstanding Drama Series. Instead, the Star Wars show took home awards for its visual effects and stunts. Don't worry, Mando fans – there's always next year (and plenty of new episodes on the way!).
Hamilton's Historic Loss
In one of the night's biggest surprises, Hamilton failed to take home the Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series. The Lin-Manuel Miranda musical, which was a critical darling and audience favorite, lost out to Netflix's The Queen's Gambit. While the loss was a shock, Hamilton still walked away with 11 wins, including awards for its leading actors, Leslie Odom Jr. and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
