Here’s who won at the 2018 Emmy Awards

Here’s who won at the 2018 Emmy Awards

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel dominated the comedy categories, Game of Thrones reclaimed the Outstanding Drama Series crown, and The Handmaid’s Tale went home empty-handed.

On Monday, the 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards honored the past year’s greatest achievements in television. The night crowned a new comedy queen and reminded us that the show with the dragons is still pretty good.

Headed into the ceremony, one big question was which show would replace Veep as the winner of the Outstanding Comedy Series trophy. Veep, which has won the award since 2015, was not eligible this year as its production was delayed while star Julia Louis-Dreyfus underwent treatment for breast cancer.

Enter The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Mrs. Maisel began the night with Alex Bornstein’s win in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category, then saw Amy Sherman-Palladino win for both writing and directing, and closed out the evening with Rachel Brosnahan winning Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and the show winning Outstanding Comedy Series. Mrs. Maisel’s triumph made history for Amazon, which celebrated its first series Emmy win. The series took home five Emmys on Monday for a total of seven overall, as it was recognized for casting and single-camera editing at the previously awarded Creative Arts Emmys.

Elsewhere in the comedy field Henry Winkler and Bill Hader took home the Supporting Actor in a Comedy and Lead Actor in a Comedy Emmys, respectively, for their performances on HBO’s dark comedy Barry. Winkler’s win was especially notable because it was his first, and it came 42 years after his very first Emmy nomination, which he received in 1976 for playing Fonzie on Happy Days.

In the drama categories, there was a comeback story of sorts. Game of Thrones, which went into the night as the most-nominated drama with 22 nods, won Outstanding Drama Series after sitting out 2017 for eligibility reasons. Peter Dinklage was also recognized for the show, winning Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Game of Thrones won nine awards in total, including seven trophies from the previously awarded Creative Arts Emmys.

The other drama winners were more spread out, with Matthew Rhys winning Lead Actor in a Drama for The Americans, Thandie Newton taking home Supporting Actress in a Drama for Westworld, and Claire Foy winning Lead Actress in a Drama for The Crown. Additionally, The Crown’s Stephen Daldry won for directing, and The Americans’ Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg won for writing.
