Stars gathered in Los Angeles Monday night for the Emmys, the biggest awards ceremony in American television. It was the 70th anniversary of the Emmys. And this year, fewer people watched the three-hour-long broadcast than ever before. The television ratings may have suffered, but there were still reasons to celebrate for many of last night’s Emmy winners. Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel became the first internet series to win the Emmy for best comedy. It also won seven other awards for writing, directing, acting and more. HBO's Game of Thrones won the best drama series award for a third time. The show’s eighth and final season begins next year. Game of Thrones took a total of nine awards Monday, more than any other production. The long-running NBC comedy show, Saturday Night Live, was the only traditional broadcast show to be honored at this year’s Emmys. And it won a lot of awards, tying with Mrs. Maisel for eight. Critics noted that the award winners this year were not a very ethnically mixed group.
