Emmy Awards 2021 - full list of nominees and winners, as Ted Lasso and The Crown win big
The Crown andTed Lasso stole the show at the 73rd Television Academy awards this year, as English actors were recognised among the very best in the industry.
Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein gave a hilarious speech as he accepted his gong for best comedic supporting actor - though it was hard to make out for the viewers at home as it consisted mostly of bleeping.

Hide AdRuPaul also came out on top for best competitive series, taking his total number of Emmys to 11 - the most by any Black artist in the awards’ history.
Michaela Coel also made history as the first Black woman to win at the Emmys for limited series writing. It is her first Emmy win, for "I May Destroy You," which came after what some described as the show being snubbed at the Golden Globes.
Coel dedicated her award to “every single survivor of sexual assault”.
“Write the tale that scares you, that makes you feel uncertain, that is uncomfortable. I dare you. In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others to help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to, in turn, feel the need to be constantly visible – for visibility, these days, seems to somehow equate to success – do not be afraid to disappear from it, for us, for a while, and see what comes to you in the silence,” she added.
