Television honors itself at 70th Emmy Awards
LOS ANGELES - Amazon's Marvelous Mrs. Maisel led the field of winners at the 70th annual primetime Emmy honors handed out at the Microsoft Theater Monday night.

During the telecast, Maisel claimed five wins, including for comedy series, two for showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino in the writing and directing categories, and honors for Rachel Brosnahan in the lead actor category and Alex Borstein in the supporting actor category.

Meanwhile, FX's The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Storyclaimed three honors, for best limited series as well as lead actor Darren Criss and directing in a limited series for Ryan Murphy.

HBO's Game of Thrones took home two wins, for best drama series and for Peter Dinklage in the supporting actor category. HBO's Barry claimed wins in the lead actor category for Bill Hader and in the supporting actor category for Henry Winkler. Netflix's Godless and The Crown and FX's The Americans also claimed two honors.

NBC's Saturday Night Live took home the variety sketch series honor while HBO's Last Week Tonight nabbed the variety talk series win.

Multiple standing ovations, conversations about diversity and sexual harassment, and a wedding proposal were just some of the standout moments from Monday’s 2018 Emmy Awards ceremony.

Perhaps the most-talked-about watercooler moment was Oscars director Glenn Weiss’ onstage marriage proposal to his girlfriend, but several rival occurrences included an opening song about diversity and a thank-you from Jeff Daniels to his TV horse.

Saturday Night Live Weekend Update hosting duo Michael Che and Colin Jost emceed the ceremony live from the Microsoft Theater.
