The cast and crew of HBO’s ‘Big Little Lies,’ including Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon (center), accept the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Best Limited Series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new Golden Age of Television is continuing its current streak of showcasing, and rewarding, innovative work. Series on streaming and cable networks, including ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ ‘Big Little Lies,’ ‘Atlanta’ and ‘Veep,’ were amongst the biggest winners at last night’s 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which were held at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. The honorees were chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.<\/p>\n

Hulu’s drama show, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ which is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood, was awarded with six honors, including the coveted Best Drama Series trophy. HBO’s dark comedy-drama miniseries, ‘Big Little Lies,’ which is based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty, won five Emmys, including Best Limited Series.<\/p>\n

Netflix’s comedy show, ‘Master of None,’ made history at this year’s ceremony, as Lena Waithe became the first black woman to win a writing Emmy. Donald Glover was recognized multiple times for his work on FX’s comedy show, ‘Atlanta.’ He became the first black director to win an Emmy for directing a comedy series.<\/p>\n

Sterling K. Brown also garnered applause from the audience for becoming the first black actor to win the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award since 1998. The performer, who was recognized for his work on NBC’s acclaimed show, ‘This Is Us,’ followed in the footsteps of Andre Braugher, who was honored for his role on NBC’s ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ 19 years ago. Brown, who won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie last year, for his role on ‘The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,’ continued his acceptance speech last night, even after the house orchestra began to play music to cue him off the stage.<\/p>\n

Other notable achievements included Julia Louis-Dreyfus winning her sixth consecutive Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy for HBO’s ‘Veep.’ The achievement has led her to have won the most Emmy Awards by a performer in the same role in a single series. Elisabeth Moss also made history for winning her first Emmy Award for her starring role on ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ She was previously nominated six times for her roles on ‘Top of the Lake’ and ‘Mad Men.’<\/p>\n
