Here are the winners of the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards

A bunch of awards were already given out—including an Emmy for Pickle Rick, but none for Megan—at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, but tonight was the big show in Hollywood. The stars walked the red carpet with their spouses and friends—or, in the case of Best Actress in a Drama nominee Sandra Oh, their parents—and the gifting suite gaveaway loads of expensive luggage, Halo Top ice cream, and whatever Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program RuPaul’s looking at here:

It was a big night for Barry and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in the comedy categories, and The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and, um, Godless in the limited-series categories. The drama categories have been more varied: Claire Foy won the Best Actress in a Drama Series award we felt rightly belonged to Keri Russell, although her onscreen husband Matthew Rhys took the Best Actor award. Despite near-constant mention of the diversity of tonight’s pool of nominees, the vast majority of this year’s winners were white, in a broadcast that even hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost seemed to have difficulty getting too excited about. (Last season of Game Of Thrones wasn’t even that good, honestly?) But hey, John Mulaney won an Emmy!

Nevertheless, congratulations to all of tonight’s winners—especially Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special winner Glenn Weiss and his now-fianceé, to whom he proposed live during tonight’s telecast.

A full list of winners from tonight’s telecast is below, and you can catch up with all the expert analysis on The A.V. Club’s Emmys liveblog here.
