Netflix s royal drama The Crown and feel-good Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso nearly swept the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, cementing the dominance of streaming platforms at the show once and for all.

Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and broadcast live from Los Angeles on CBS and Paramount+, the ceremony was held in person with a limited and vaccinated audience after last years pandemic-impacted virtual award show.

Given how television became a boon for viewers throughout the lockdowns and quarantines of the past year, its only fitting that binge-friendly streaming services were victorious at the award show, which has historically given top prizes to cable and broadcast networks.

Every drama series nominated eventually bowed to The Crown, which tied The Mandalorian (Disney+) with the most nods for any single show heading into the evening. But the Netflix series chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II over various decades eventually took home the Outstanding Drama trophy, as well as honors in writing, directing and acting fields.

Despite this years crop of drama acting nominees standing as the most diverse in Emmys history, not a single performer of color walked away with an award. Instead, The Crown snuffed out all competition with Josh OConnor (Prince Charles) and the queen herself, Olivia Colman, triumphing in the Lead Actor and Lead Actress races. Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson and Tobias Menzies, who portrayed Margaret Thatcher and Prince Phillip in the series, respectively, also won trophies for Outstanding Supporting Actress and Actor.

With reigning comedy Schitts Creek out of the running at the ceremony, Ted Lasso swept major categories, including Outstanding Comedy, as well as dual wins in the Supporting Actor races for its stellar freshman season. Star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis also picked up multiple awards, marking his first-ever Emmy trophies. The only comedy acting award that eluded the Ted Lasso crew went to Jean Smart, who scored the Lead Actress Emmy for her revelatory turn in Hacks . The HBO series also picked up wins in the comedy directing and writing fields.

The tightest race, however, belonged to the limited series, which pit heavy hitters, including Mare of Easttown, Wandavision, I May Destroy You and The Underground Railroad, against one another in far-too-crowded categories . Winslet came out on top in the Lead Actress race , while Michaela Coel took home a trophy for writing her masterwork, dedicating her win to every single survivor of sexual assualt on stage.

But it was The Queens Gambit that pulled off the ultimate checkmate, picking up a directing prize and the nights final award for Outstanding Limited Series.
