The Primetime Emmy Awards honor the best in primetime television over the past year. (Well, technically, during the eligibility period of June 1 to May 31. But there are exceptions.)

The 67th annual edition of the ceremony, which aired live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, marked Jon Hamm’s last chance to finally score a statue for Mad Men (which he did); similarly, this was Amy Poehler’s last chance to win on behalf of Parks and Recreation‘s Leslie Knope, though instead Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home her fourth lead actress Emmy for Veep. Meanwhile, Game of Thrones and HBO broke a few records, as did Viola Davis, who delivered the best emotional speech of the night.

The full list of winners is below. Be sure to check out our Emmys live blog as well as our roundup of the best and worst moments from TV’s big night.
