LOS ANGELES - AT&T Inc’s HBO network triumphed at Sunday’s Emmy Awards with 30 wins, including best drama “Succession” and limited series “Watchmen,” while Apple Inc took home its first award for the iPhone maker’s dive into streaming television.Netflix Inc, which headed into the ceremony with a record 160 nominations, finished second with 21 honors.
HBO had long dominated the Emmys with hits such as “The Sopranos,” “Sex and the City” and “Game of Thrones.” Before Sunday, it was the most honored network for 17 of the past 18 years. The exception was in 2018, when Netflix and HBO tied in Emmy wins. The accolades were especially gratifying following questions about what HBO would do once megahit “Game of Thrones” ended in 2019, Casey Bloys, HBO programming president, said in an interview.Bloys also said the network succeeded by staying aware of growing competition “but not distracted by it.”
“Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian,” a show on the Disney+ streaming service about a bounty hunter who protects Baby Yoda, won eight awards.
