That’s your lot this year and it’s been a refreshing night of surprises. The Emmys aren’t always known for rewarding new talent, sticking to old favorites above all else and while, yes, Julia Louis-Dreyfus still won for Veep, there were some newcomers who received much-deserved awards.

Donald Glover winning for his acting and directing work in Atlanta and the many awards won by female-fronted dramas Big Little Lies and The Handmaid’s Tale were all signs of a change of tide. There were a number of records achieved too, including Lena Waithe as the first black woman to ever win an Emmy for comedy writing.

It was bad news for Westworld and Stranger Things, both shows failing to pick up a single award between them while The Crown and This Is Us only managed to win one trophy apiece.

We’ll have some more analysis coming tomorrow but that’s a wrap for now.
