The 78th Annual Emmy Awards were a huge win for Apple TV. The streamer secured the most Emmy Awardsthanks in no small part to “Widow’s Bay,” which won for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actress (Kate O’Flynn), Outstanding Supporting Actor (Stephen Root), Outstanding Lead Actor (Matthew Rhys), Writing (Katie Dippold) and Directing (Hiro Murai). “Slow Horses” and “Pluribus” also secured major wins for drama series: “Slow Horses” for Directing (Saul Metzstein) and “Pluribus” for Outstanding Lead Actress (Rhea Seahorn) and Writing (Vince Gilligan).  
-In second place was HBO and HBO Max. For the second year in a row, “The Pitt” and star Noah Wyle won for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, respectively. Similarly, Jean Smart won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for “Hacks,” her fifth straight win. “DTF St. Louis” also won for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, as well as a number of other awards that were not televised in Monday’s broadcast and instead handed out at last week’s Creative Arts Emmys. 
-Meanwhile, the only broadcast network show to win a televised award on Monday night was CBS with “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” for Outstanding Variety Series. (NBCUniversal technically also won with “The Traitors” for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, but the show airs on Peacock, not NBC proper).
