The show, which secured four trophies overall, tells the story of the wealthy and back-stabbing Roy family as members jockey for power.<\/p>\n<p>Apple TV+ series \u201cTed Lasso\u201d also was a repeat winner, claiming best comedy for the second straight year for its tale of an American football coach leading a British soccer team. Its stars Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein were second-time winners of best comedy actor and supporting actor [L1N30G2HP]. <\/p>\n<p>Likewise, voters honored \u201cEuphoria\u201d star Zendaya as best drama actress and Jean Smart of \u201cHacks\u201d as best comedy actress. It was the second win for each in those categories.<\/p>\n<p>One newcomer to break through was Lee Jung-jae, who was named best drama actor for his role on South Korean thriller \u201cSquid Game.\u201d The dystopian story about cash-strapped contestants risking their lives for wealth became a global sensation after its release on Netflix a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The actor thanked the team behind \u201cSquid Game\u201d for \u201cmaking realistic problems we all have to face come to life so creatively on the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The most-lauded show of the night was HBO\u2019s \u201cThe White Lotus.\u201d It won 10 awards including best limited series and acting trophies for Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett. Those wins helped HBO and streaming service HBO Max lead all other networks with 38 honors overall [L1N30J2CD].<\/p>\n<p>Host and \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d star Kenan Thompson kept a celebratory tone throughout the show, saying it was a time to appreciate one of the world\u2019s favorite pastimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat would we do without television, read books?\u201d he joked, before joining dance numbers to theme songs ranging from classic sitcom \u201cFriends\u201d to current sci-fi hit \u201cStranger Things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Winners largely steered clear of politics or world events. One exception was \u201cSuccession\u201d creator Jesse Armstrong, who joked that it was a big week for \u201csuccessions,\u201d referring to King Charles taking over the British throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying we\u2019re more legitimate in our position than he is. We\u2019ll leave that to other people,\u201d Armstrong said.<\/p>\n<p>British \u201cLasso\u201d actor Goldstein, who plays foul-mouthed but soft-hearted soccer legend Roy Kent, said he was going to try not to swear after his profanity-laced remarks were cut off in Britain when he won last year, preventing his family from hearing them.<\/p>\n<p>Then he added: \u201cMum, Dad \u2026 I fucking love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singer Lizzo earned an Emmy award for competition series for \u201cWatch Out for the Big Grrrls.\u201d The musician said that as a little girl she had always wanted television to feature \u201csomeone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to go back and tell a little Lizzo something \u2026 you\u2019re going to be that person,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Among other winners, Michael Keaton was named lead actor in limited series for playing a small-town doctor who becomes addicted to painkillers in \u201cDopesick.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>
