Streaming service Netflix and premium cable channel HBO battled to a tie at Monday's Emmy awards ceremony, with each taking home 23 of the television industry's top honors, though HBO scored the prestigious best drama prize. The result underscored the rise of Netflix in Hollywood, which matched HBO's total just five years after starting a big push into original programming. Before Monday, HBO had won the most Emmys of any single network for 16 straight years.

This year, HBO's fantasy series "Game of Thrones" won the best drama honor for a third time and was the most-honored show with nine awards in total. Best comedy went to "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon Prime Video. It marked the first time a streaming service had won in the category. The show collected eight trophies overall. The wins give networks and streaming services bragging rights to use in marketing to try to make their shows stand out in a crowded TV landscape where hundreds of scripted shows, reality series and other programming fight for viewers.
