Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel becomes first show produced by a streaming site to take home best drama Emmy; other big winners included HBO’s Big Little Lies and SNL
The Handmaid’s Tale gave Hulu its first ever best drama win at the
Emmys on a night where new shows had the edge over old favorites, and
political barbs – mostly aimed at Donald Trump – punctuated proceedings.
Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic dystopian novel fought
off competition from other front-runners including The Crown, Stranger
Things and This Is Us to make history by becoming the first show
produced by a streaming site to take the evening’s most-coveted award.
Politics were at the forefront at an evening, which featured a surprise appearance from former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
Host Stephen Colbert set the tone with an opening monologue, that
repeatedly made fun of the president’s long-running annoyance over not
winning an Emmy during his time hosting The Apprentice.
In case you didn't have the chance of watching some of the awarded TV shows, here you can find some trailers. Don't hesitate and watch them!
