When this year's Emmy statuettes were to be presented, the celebs were back on the red carpet.

[Emmy Award 2021]

In the coveted drama series category, "The Crown" swept the carpet with ease, but "Ted Lasso," "Hack," and "Mare of Easttown" were all significant victors.

Star-studded After last year's virtual edition, the Emmy Gala returned with attendees and nominees in attendance. Everyone had to provide proof of vaccination, however they were exempt from wearing mouth protection, unlike journalists and producers.

It's wonderful just to be here. Kathryn Hahn, who was nominated for her role as an eccentric neighbor in the Marvel series "Wandavision," told The Hollywood Reporter, "It seems like we're at a closing party or something, like we can finally meet each other for the first time in a long time."

The Emmy gala was held in a party tent

Although the dinner was advertised as "outside," as Seth Rogen put it when presenting the first prize, "they claimed it was outdoors." However, this is not the case. We're in a tent that's been hermetically sealed. I would never have been here if I hadn't been invited. He joked that hanging three crystal chandeliers was more essential than making sure Eugene Levy wasn't killed.

In a scandal-free and slightly lackluster occasion, the epidemic was referenced in numerous remarks.

The British-American comedy series "Ted Lasso" received the most nominations, with 13. During the epidemic year, the innocuous series, which centers about a failing Premier League club, was a hit.

"Lasso" and "Hacks"

The comedy honors were divided between "Ted Lasso" and HBO's "Hacks." "Ted Lasso" took up the award for best comedy series, with Jason Sudeikis as the male lead and Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein as supporting actors.

Before apologizing for cursing, Goldstein remarked, "This is like the fucking crème of the crop."

"Hacks," which stars Jean Smart as a Las Vegas comic, won the best female lead role, as well as the writing and directing honors.

"The crown" dominated

There were also numerous prizes for the criminal drama "Mare of Easttown," which starred Julianne Nicholson and Evan Peters, as well as Kate Winslet, who won the lead performance in a miniseries. The chess series "The queen's gambit" won the best miniseries award as well as the director's prize.

But the greatest winner of the night was "The Crown," which brought home a slew of major accolades. On the one hand, they took the writing and directing (Peter Morgan, Jessica Hobbs); on the other hand, there was a full pot of performing talent with Gillian Anderson and Tobias Menzies in supporting parts, as well as Olivia Colman and Josh O'Connor in lead roles. Olivia Colman portrays Queen Elizabeth, a role for which Claire Foy won an Oscar in 2018.

Finally, the drama series was named the best drama series.

No posthumous price

Because Menzies earned the prize, Michael K Williams, who was nominated in the category for his contributions to the HBO series "Lovecraft Country," did not get a posthumous trophy. On September 6, Williams was discovered dead in his New York home, and he was recognized when Kerry Washington delivered the prize.

- Michael was a gifted, generous, and bright man who left us way too soon. Michael, I know you're here because you wouldn't miss this - your brilliance, your creativity, she added, will go on.

Several of this year's awards were handed out during pre-galas last week, with categories ranging from photography to sound effects. Then, with nine statuettes, Netflix's chess thriller "The queen's gambit" seized the lead, while Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson won his second statuette for his music for the TV series "The mandalorian."
