The People v. O.J. Simpson was the one to beat — and hardly anything did. The FX anthology series was the big winner at the 68th Emmy Awards, winning major awards in nine categories. Sarah Paulson, who brought the real Marcia Clark as her plus-one to this year’s ceremony, scored her first Emmy win for her role as the prosecutor on the O.J.-themed inaugural season of American Crime Story, and her co-stars Courtney B. Vance and Sterling K. Brown were also honored.
It was also a night of surprises, with Louie Anderson winning Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Baskets, and Kate McKinnon nabbing the female version of the award for her work on Saturday Night Live. Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany beat out five heavy-hitting veterans in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.
Other big winners included Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who accepted her fifth consecutive Emmy for Veep. Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent), Regina King (American Crime), and Game of Thrones also won Emmys for the second year in a row.
Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey) and Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline) were no-shows for their trophies, but don’t worry, host Jimmy Kimmel is keeping them safe in the Lost and Found.
