Another Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is behind us, and HBO bosses were enjoying it more than anyone else. This network cemented its domination over the television landscape on Monday night with its hit shows The White Lotus and Succession taking home top prizes.

The White Lotus was one of the favorites for the outstanding limited series award, and it lived up to the hype. It collected four more trophies by the end of the night—outstanding supporting actor and actress (Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge) and outstanding writing and directing for a limited series (Mike White).

It was also a big night for Succession, as this political satire picked up its second Emmy for outstanding drama series, but it wasn’t the last we’ve seen of HBO. Zendaya collected her second Emmy for Euphoria, while Jean Smart was named outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Hacks.

As for other networks and streamers, Ted Lasso brought four wins to Apple TV+. It won the trophy for outstanding comedy series, repeating its success from last year, in addition to three more awards—lead actor (Jason Sudeikis), supporting actor (Brett Goldstein), and outstanding directing for a comedy series (MJ Delane).

The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on September 12 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with Kenan Thompson hosting the ceremony.
