Emmys: Handmaid's Tale, Big Little Lies And SNL Are This Year's Big Winners

HBO's Big Little Lies and Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale were the big winners on Sunday night at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, each grabbing gold in five categories.

Folding in last weekend's Creative Arts ceremonies, they each amassed 10 total wins.

NBC's Saturday Night Live at the main ceremony took the prize three times, including for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series; all told, SNL won nine Emmys, making it this year's winningest TV series.

Broadcast-TV's critical and ratings darling, NBC's This Is Us, walked away with one win on Sunday, for lead drama actor Sterling K. Brown. (Gerald McRaney won for guest drama actor on Sept. 10.)

Network-by-network, HBO netted 29 total Emmys, followed by Netflix (20), NBC (15), Hulu (10) and ABC (7). Emmys host CBS picked up four, all at the Creative Arts ceremony.
