[00:00.04]At the Emmy Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles,
[00:04.04]television programs made for the streaming video services Netflix
[00:09.96]and Apple TV plus were the biggest winners.
[00:15.24]Streaming is the continuous transmission
[00:19.20]of video files from a server to a viewer.
[00:23.68]The main winners were "The Crown" and "The Queen's Gambit,"
[00:29.40]Netflix shows, and "Ted Lasso" from Apple TV plus.
[00:35.84]"The Crown" is the life story of Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
[00:41.16]The show won four acting awards,
[00:44.88]plus awards for writing and directing.
[00:49.40]"The Queen's Gambit" came out in the early part of 2020
[00:55.12]and told the fictional story of a young woman
[00:59.28]who became a world chess champion.
[01:03.32]It won two awards in the "outstanding limited series" category.
[01:10.12]"Ted Lasso" won seven awards in the comedy category.
[01:15.72]It tells the story of an American football coach
[01:20.64]who is hired to run a soccer team in London.
[01:26.64]The Emmy Awards started in the 1950s
[01:30.92]to honor the best television programs.
[01:34.88]At first, only major U.S. broadcasters won the awards.
[01:40.68]Then, when cable television arrived in the 1980s,
[01:47.16]programs made for channels that required payment,
[01:51.08]or a subscription, started winning awards.
[01:56.68]More recently, programs made for streaming video services,
[02:01.64]such as Netflix, started winning.
[02:05.32]Netflix won 44 awards, matching the record
[02:09.80]set by U.S. broadcaster CBS in 1974.
[02:16.36]"Mare of Easttown," a show on the cable channel HBO
[02:21.68]with the actress Kate Winslet,
[02:24.24]centers on a small-town police detective.
[02:28.44]Winslet won an acting award
[02:30.76]and the show won three more Emmys.
[02:35.32]The big winners were television shows about women,
[02:38.60]featuring female actors.
[02:42.08]Peter Morgan is the creator and writer of "The Crown."
[02:45.92]He said that the recent season,
[02:49.12]which centered on Queen Elizabeth,
[02:51.28]Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana,
[02:56.60]and included actors Olivia Colman, Gillian Anderson
[03:00.80]and Emma Corrin, was easy to write.
[03:05.40]"All three of those women are defining women
[03:09.16]of the second-half of the 20th century. And so,
[03:12.40]that just lifts everybody.
[03:14.00]That lifts everybody when you've got characters
[03:16.76]that strong, vivid and individual."
[03:21.20]Josh O'Connor won a top acting award for "The Crown."
[03:25.68]He plays Prince Charles.
[03:28.08]Much of the season centers on the time
[03:31.24]leading up to and including
[03:33.76]the 1981 wedding of Charles and Diana.
[03:39.36]Jason Sudeikis helped create "Ted Lasso"
[03:43.48]and plays the main character.
[03:46.04]It won the award for "outstanding comedy series."
[03:50.44]Sudeikis won for "lead actor"
[03:53.32]and his cast mates Hannah Waddingham
[03:57.20]and Brett Goldstein won for their supporting roles.
[04:01.96]Sudeikis said:
[04:03.36]"this show's about families and mentors and teammates,
[04:08.20]and I wouldn't be here without those things in my life."
[04:12.88]The comedy actress winner was Jean Smart,
[04:16.28]who plays a comedian concerned about the end of her career in "Hacks."
[04:21.72]She said of her husband, actor Richard Gilliland,
[04:26.08]who died six months earlier, "I would not be here without him."
[04:32.32]Black comedian Cedric the Entertainer was host of the show.
[04:37.76]But some observers were saddened
[04:39.76]that more Black actors and writers did not win awards.
[04:44.12]The only major Black winners were RuPaul for "RuPaul's Drag Race"
[04:49.96]and Michaela Cole, who wrote and acted in "I Will Destroy You."
