The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and HBO were the big winners of the 2018 Emmy Awards, thanks to a slew of nods for the lauded comedy and the heavy-hitting network.
Not only did the show notch the Best Comedy award, its star Rachel Brosnahan was honoured for her work, along with Best Supporting Actress Alex Borstein. Amy Sherman-Palladino notched dual awards for Best Directing and Best Writing in a Comedy Series, too.
Not too shabby.
Elsewhere, HBO mainstay Game Of Thrones won big as Best Drama, and Peter Dinklage got the gong for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, too. Thandie Newton was also finally honoured as Best Supporting Actress for her work on HBO’s Westworld. Finally.
Matthew Rhys was awarded Best Actor in a Drama Series for bringing The Americans to its stomach-turning conclusion, while Claire Foy was recognised for her regal turn as Queen Liz in The Crown.
