Scottish comedian Richard Gadd swept the awards, winning three for his acting, writing, and executive producing roles.

His co-star, Jessica Gunning, who played the chilling stalker Martha, earned Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

Jessica was overwhelmed as she accepted her award, saying, "Oh my goodness me, blinking heckers! Thank you so much. I honestly feel like I'm going to wake up any minute now and this whole thing has been a dream."

The show, which chronicles Richard's experiences with stalking and sexual abuse, has sparked controversy.

The real-life woman who inspired the character of Martha, Fiona Harvey, is now suing Netflix, claiming the show defamed her and violated her privacy.

Asked if he would have approached anything differently, kilt-clad Richard acknowledged that he couldn't change the past, but did highlight the show's influence, both domestically and abroad.

He stressed that the positive impact of Baby Reindeer should not be overshadowed by the controversies surrounding it.

In the drama categories, The Crown's final season made a significant impact.

Elizabeth Debicki, who played Princess Diana, won her first Emmy for Best Drama Actress.

Her performance was widely praised, and she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to portray such an iconic figure.

However, The Crown's dominance was limited to her win.

Beyond the major categories, there were several other notable wins with John Oliver winning Best Scripted Variety Series and writer Will Smith receiving the Best Drama Writing award for the Apple TV+ series, Slow Horses.

The U.S. Traitors host, Scottish star Alan Cumming, secured the Best Reality Competition Show award, defeating the long-reigning champion, RuPaul's Drag Race.

In one shocking moment, John launched into a sweary rant after show bosses tried to cut him off mid speech.

While addressing the crowd, John had paid tribute to his late dog, revealing his family "had to say goodbye to her".

However, producers tried to wrap up his speech by playing music.

It left the HBO host visibly annoyed as he continued: "Perfect choice of music! We had to say goodbye to her."

John then snapped, "F**k you!" before going on to say: "She was an amazing dog, and this isn't just for her. It's for all dogs! All dogs. You're very good girls, very good boys. You all deserve a treat."

He wrapped up his speech by telling the director to 'play him off now'.

Viewers at home were left in awe at 'iconic' John for his speech and flooded social media with comments.

One said: "So this was something. John Oliver wins an Emmy. He starts to thank his dog, who recently died, and they start playing him off stage, which he did not appreciate."

A second posted: "I don’t know what’s more iconic - John Oliver thanking his late dog during his acceptance speech or being able to reverse the Emmy’s playoff music by talking about his dog."

"Nothing will ever stop the playing-off music colder than John Oliver’s dead dog," said a third.
