You like television? You like television? Of course you do, and today was television’s night of nights – The Emmys. From the Stranger Things kids wreaking havoc to Jimmy Kimmel‘s mum making sandwiches for everyone in the venue, it was a truly outstanding night of JAPES and SHENANIGANS.
But you’re not here for that. You’re here for the blood, the guts and the glory. You want to know which of a whole bunch of people far, far richer than you received a lovely gold statue. Without further ado, and no editorialising to speak of, here are your major winners and nominees.
