Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Tonight, the 65th Annual Emmy Awards took place, hosted by Neil-waitforit-Patrick Harris, crowning the gold on the best and brightest of TV in all its categories. Big winners included Breaking Bad, which took outstanding drama and best actress for Anna Gunn, Modern Family, which took outstanding comedy series and directing, while The Colbert Report took home outstanding variety series and outstanding writing. The other surprise winner was Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candelabra, which took outstanding mini-series or movie, outstanding lead actor (Michael Douglas), and outstanding directing for Steven Soderbergh, which has to be a bit of a vindicating win for the movie that every major studio said no to.
