Includes Creative Arts Emmys, which were awarded last week

Jean Smart was named best lead actress in a comedy series for her performance in Hacks.

Gillian Anderson was named best drama supporting actress for her portrayal of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher in Netflix series The Crown.

"I want to dedicate this award to a woman who was my manager for 20 years, Connie Freiberg, who believed in me when no-one else would, and believed I had talent when I didn't think I had talent," Anderson said.

As well as the top drama prize of the night, The Crown's Peter Morgan and Jessica Hobbs also won for writing and directing respectively.

Collecting the writing prize, Morgan said: "I'm very proud, I'm very grateful, we're going to party. Goodnight."

Hobbs thanked other female directors and her mother, who she said is still directing at the age of 77. Menzies was not present to collect his award.

The final award of the night, outstanding limited or anthology series, went to Netflix's chess drama The Queen's Gambit.

In a highly competitive category, it won ahead of I May Destroy You, Mare Of Easttown, The Underground Railroad, and WandaVision.

Netflix's combined total of 44 wins this year meant it towered above its nearest competitor - HBO and its HBO Max streaming service scored 19.

That makes this year the first time Netflix had won more Emmys than HBO, which has dominated the ceremony for years. Disney+ was third on 14, while Apple TV won 10.

This year's In Memoriam section included tributes to stars including Larry King, Michael Apted, Alex Trebek, Helen McCrory, Jessica Walter, Cicely Tyson, and Michael K Williams.

The ceremony, hosted by US comedian Cedric the Entertainer, was held after a year of increased TV viewing prompted by lockdown restrictions around the world.
