The Television Academy tonight celebrated the 73rd Emmy(R) Awards, recognizing excellence in primetime programming and individual achievement for the 2020-2021 television season.

The 73rd Emmy® Awards were broadcast live from L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on the CBS Television Network, hosted by Cedric The Entertainer.

Presenters and surprise guests included Uzo Aduba, Paulina Alexis, Anthony Anderson, Annaleigh Ashford, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, Adrien Brody, Aidy Bryant, Sophia Bush, Stephen Colbert, Jennifer Coolidge, Misty Copeland, Kaley Cuoco, Michael Douglas, Ava DuVernay, Lane Factor, Beanie Feldstein, Allyson Felix, America Ferrera, Sterlin Harjo, Taraji P. Henson, Gayle King, LL COOL J, Devery Jacobs, Ken Jeong, Mindy Kaling, Daniel Dae Kim, Vanessa Lachey, Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Jessica Long, Annie Murphy, Catherine O’Hara, Dolly Parton, Sarah Paulson, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Amy Poehler, Ellen Pompeo, Billy Porter, Michaela Jaé (Mj) Rodriguez, Seth Rogen, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Patrick Stewart, Wilmer Valderrama, Kerry Washington, Rita Wilson, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Bowen Yang and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Here’s the complete list of winners and nominees.

GRAMMY(R)-winning artist Leon Bridges and Academy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste performed a special “In Memoriam” song.

Additionally, Emmys were awarded in 92 other categories at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards during three ceremonies the weekend of Saturday, September 11, and Sunday, September 12.

Netflix was triumphant at the Emmys, with “The Crown,” the luxuriant chronicle of the ups and downs of the British royal family, won the prize for best drama, propelling Netflix to its first-ever victory in one of television’s biggest prizes.

“The Queen’s Gambit,” Netflix’s seven-episode show about a chess prodigy, won best limited series.

Prior to the best drama win for “The Crown,” only one streaming service, Hulu, had won in that category, when “The Handmaid’s Tale” took the award four years ago. And before the win for “The Queen’s Gambit,” no stremer had ever taken the best limited series statuette.

By the end of the ceremony, Netflix had received more awards than HBO for the first time, taking 44 Emmys, compared with 19 for HBO and its streaming platform, HBO Max.

AppleTV+ took major awards in drama, comedy, and limited series with “Ted Lasso” on winning for best comedy series.

The record number of nominees of color yielded only two Black winners, including RuPaul for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and star-creator Michaela Coel’s writing award for “I May Destroy You.” HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show took home a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming but lost out in four other categories.
