Whilst shows like Widow's Bay, The Pitt and DTF St Louis all scooped up accolades, the Welsh actor Matthew Rhys made Emmys history as the first actor in 78 years to win multiple lead actor awards for two different shows in the same year.

Not only did Rhys receive an accolade for his chilling stint in Netflix's The Beast in Me but he also won the award for his leading role in Apple TV's Widow's Bay, with the hit comedy horror actually bagging a total of 14 impressive wins on the night.

Hacks star Jean Smart also went down in the history books, becoming the first woman to win an Emmy for every season of a show. Elsewhere in the drama stakes, The Pitt unsurprisingly picked up a win for outstanding drama, and star Noah Wyle also took home an award for outstanding lead actor.

But who else took home awards? Read on for a full list of the Emmy Awards 2026 winners.
