The 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards were held this evening in Downtown Los Angeles. The night was a big one for Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

“Mrs.Maisel” took home the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Actress and Supporting Actress for Rachel Brosnahan, and Alex Borstein respectively. The show’s creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, picked up three awards for her work, including Directing and Writing. 

“Game of Thrones” picked up the award for Outstanding Drama Series while cast member Peter Dinklage won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. 

The night’s highlights included the opening musical number led by SNL’s Keenan Thompson and Kate McKinnon. 

The surprise proposal by Oscar Telecast director Glen Weiss who proposed to his girlfriend Jan Svendsen during his Emmy acceptance speech. 

The night’s In Memorium segment included a clip of Aretha Franklin’s television performance of “Amazing Grace” while she and those we lost this year were remembered.
