The 68th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The show, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, celebrates the best in primetime television from the past twelve months.

FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson came out on top in five major categories on Sunday, bringing its Emmy total to nine. Fox’s Grease: Live placed third with five total wins.

Network by network, HBO amassed 22 total wins, followed by FX’s 18; Netflix and PBS were a distant third and forth with 9 and 8, respectively. Broadcasters ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW combined for 21 total Emmys, and only four during the Big Show on Sunday.

Emmy newcomers landing their first nominations this year include Rami Malek, Keri Russell, Tom Hiddleston, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ellie Kemper.
