2021 Emmy Awards Winners List

 

The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards rewarded the television shows and movies that made an impact during an unprecedented year. This year's ceremony was hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and airing on CBS. 

Ted Lasso dominated the comedy categories with wins for Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein in the Lead Actor, Supporting Actress, and Supporting Actor categories. Hacks took over the rest of the awards with Jean Smart winning Lead Actress, and the HBO comedy winning Directing and Writing for a Comedy Series. Ted Lasso also took home Outstanding Comedy Series, because why wouldn't it?

"The Crown" were the magic words on the drama side. Olivia Colman won Lead Actress and Josh O'Connor took home Lead Actor, with Gillian Anderson and Tobias Menzies taking home the Supporting Actress and Actor trophies respectively. The Netflix drama also won the series category (Netflix's first win in the category) along with Writing and Directing for a Drama Series. 

The limited series categories had a bit more variation with love spread between HBO's Mare of Easttown (Kate Winslet and Evan Peters both won for their performances), while Michaela Coel got Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series for her gut-punching series I May Destroy You. The Queen's Gambit also won for Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Limited Series overall.
