The HBO drama Succession and comedy Ted Lasso took top honours at the 2022 Emmy Awards in a ceremony that spread its awards between repeat winners and also honored several first-timers.
Jason Sudeikis and Jean Smart collected back-to-back acting trophies, while Zendaya picked up her second drama actress prize for Euphoria.
The ceremony also honoured several first-time winners, including Lizzo, Lee Jung-jae of Squid Game and Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph of Abbott Elementary.
“Thanks for making such a safe space to make this very difficult show,” said Zendaya, a two-time winner for Euphoria, the drama series about teens and their tough coming-of-age.
