00:00There was no one show that dominated the night.

00:02It's as if voters for the Emmys decided to spread the love.

00:06But let's start with The Studio, which is the big hit Apple TV Plus show.

00:10It's the story of a movie producer here in Hollywood

00:13that is torn between his artistic ambitions and the business and commercial needs.

00:18It's both a love story and a satire of Hollywood.

00:2113 trophies in all, the most wins ever for a comedy in a single season.

00:25And co-creator Seth Rogen won four of them,

00:27including acting, writing, directing and producing when he was on the stage.

00:31He called it surreal that he'd never won anything before in his life.

00:34One of the main shockers of the night came in the drama category.

00:38The hit show Severance went into the evening as a favorite with 27 nominations.

00:43But the Best Drama Award went to The Pit on HBO.

00:47It's a medical drama set over one endless chaotic ER shift at a hospital.

00:52And the main star finally got his moment in the limelight.

00:55Noah Wiley won Best Actor in a Drama.

00:57His first ever Emmy after five nominations without a win in the 1990s

01:02when he became a rising star thanks to the show called ER in the 1990s.

01:07The ovation for him when he won that Emmy was one of the loudest of the night.

01:15The limited series really delivered on a massive hype.

01:18The hit British show was watched more than 140 million times

01:23in the first three months following its release.

01:24And it did win several Emmys tonight, including Best Limited Series, Writing, Directing, and Lead Actor.
