Last night, the television world celebrated its highest achievers with the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. It was an evening where history was made more than once, with one of the most watched shows on TV bringing home the trophies to match, while an actress broke the color barrier.
HBO‘s "Game Of Thrones" won the most Emmys ever for a show in a single night, taking home 12 prizes, mostly in technical categories, with Peter Dinklage taking home the only acting award for Supporting. Elsewhere, Best Actor went to Jon Hamm for "Mad Men," who finally won after being nominated eight previous times. Meanwhile, Viola Davis became the first person of color to win Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series, taking home the honor for her work in "How To Get Away With Murder" — check out her emotional acceptance speech below.
Overall, it was a huge night for HBO who also saw a couple trophies go to the miniseries "Olive Kitteridge," and a handful to "Veep," while Amazon had mostly a quiet night with just a couple of wins for the critically acclaimed "Transparent."
