The winners of the 2018 Emmys have been decided and there were some interesting surprises here and there. Monday's ceremony announced the winners for the major awards, while the so-called Creative Arts Emmys were handed out last week. The ceremony itself was widely regarded as lackluster and criticized. Hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost, both SNL stars and writers, caught most of the flak.
The big news is that Netflix and HBO were tied for wins, 23 each to be exact, but the latter ultimately bagged the big one, Best Drama Series, for their never-ending blockbuster "Game of Thrones", leaving the streaming network still pining for a major win in either drama or comedy. "Game of Thrones" won the most awards of the night, nine in total from both ceremonies. Netflix's biggest wins were for their drama series "The Crown" which scored Directing and Lead Actress (Claire Foy).
Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" became the first streaming series to win Best Comedy, and it also picked up trophies for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Rachel Brosnahan) and Supporting Actress (Alex Borstein), while the show's creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, took home no less than four Emmys for Directing, Writing, Music Supervision, and, of course, Comedy Series.
FX also had a pretty good evening with the long-overlooked series "The Americans" taking home two major awards for Writing and Lead Actor (Matthew Rhys), and their limited series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" brought home no less than seven awards including Best Limited Series, Directing and Lead Actor (Darren Criss). The network's comedy series "Atlanta", which had 16 nominations and was considered a frontrunner walked away with only two Emmys for Guest Actor (Katt Williams) and Cinematography.
