Not every victor is available to stream on demand at this time – “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”, for one, is now available for purchase on disc and digital formats only – but many of them are. And Game of Thrones won its 38th Emmy, a new record-breaking number for a primetime series.

“Oh my god. Please tell me you are seeing this too”, said a stunned Malek, 35.
Jeb Bush also made a freaky appearance in the awards show during a segment where he played a chauffer for Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The British actress had been nominated nine times for Emmys and won three without ever showing up.
Kimmel joked the award was being left in “lost and found” after Dame Maggie failed to attend the ceremony.
Paulson brought Marcia Clark, the O.J. Simpson prosecutor whom she portrays on TV, as her Emmy date.
While Ross did not win the award, plenty of other actors and actresses representing minorities and people of color did. “The more I learned about the real Marcia Clark, the more I had to recognise that I, along with the rest of the world, had been superficial and careless in my judgement”.
“A lot of you may not have known who I was, but you checked the box anyway and that makes me very, very happy”, Brown said.
Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang picked up an Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series Emmy for “Master of None” and Patton Oswalt won for Writing for a Variety Special for his stand-up comedy special “Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping”. The unfortunate thing is I’m not sure how many of us would want to hang out with a guy like Elliot. By the way, that’s not so much a jab at Jeb’s politics and familial history as it is pure recognition that he was the only non-actor of the bunch. The actress’ phone kept buzzing with congratulatory messages while she was on stage. She goes to the Soul Train Awards every year.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus: “Our show started out as a political satire, but it now feels more like a sobering documentary”. This past weekend, she was probably sitting at home enjoying some piping hot black tea and a biscuit or two, casually flipping through the pages of the Sunday Times rather than enduring the scrum of the Emmys. “I’m so glad that he liked Veep because his opinion was the one that really mattered”, she said.
