The 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards winner were announced on Sunday night, and we think it's fair to say that any of this year's nominees were well-deserving of the much-coveted award! From the critical hit, The Handmaid's Tale, to Charlie Brooker's dystopic Black Mirror, the winners reflected the very best of television in the last year.

Several shows dominated the categories, with Big Little Lies picking up an incredible five Emmys for awards including Best Limited Series, Best Lead Actress in a Limited Series for Nicole Kidman, and Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for Alexander Skarsgard. Meanwhile, The Handmaid's Tale took away the awards for Best Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama for Elizabeth Moss, Best Directing for a Drama Series for Reed Morano. Donald Glover also walked away victorious with two Emmys for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Directing for a Comedy Series for his comedy-drama, Atlanta.
