Much attention had been focused on who would win the most awards: Netflix or HBO. It ended in a tie for the streaming giant and the cable television network, with both winning 23 awards.
But the real focus for many was on who wore what.
New mamas Chrissy Teigen and Kirsten Dunst, who both gave birth in early May, were positively glowing.

Sandra became the first woman of Asian descent to be nominated for outstanding actress in a drama for her role in AMC’s Killing Eve.

Oh! and her acceptance speech was – how do you say – pretty effing epic.
I don’t even believe in God but I’m going to thank her tonight.

Although, perhaps we should take a leaf out of British media news outlets when they say that successful Irish artists and sportspeople are ‘British’, like Saoirse Ronan or Gary and Paul O’Donovan.
