There were three big winners at this year’s Emmy Awards, broadcast from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles last night.

The majority of the gongs were shared between Hawaii-set limited series White Lotus (five awards), football comedy Ted Lasso (four awards) and media empite drama Succession (three awards).

Lockdown hit Squid Game won two trophies, including a win for star Lee Jung-jae, the first person to win an acting award for a non-English language performance.

And there was some success for British talent, with standup Brett Goldstein winning his second consecutive Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy for Ted Lasso, and Succession writer Jesse Armstrong recognised for the memorable ‘ All The Bells Say’ episode of the acclaimed drama series.

Meanwhile John Oliver, who worked as a comedian in the UK before heading to the USA to work for Jon Stewart on ‘The Daily Show’, won a remarkable seventh straight Emmy for best variety talk series for ‘Last Week Tonight With John Oliver’ – later picking up a second award for his writing on the same programme.

There was also good news for singer Adele, with her win for outstanding pre-recorded variety special meaning she’s now three-quarters of the way to being an EGOT – she has an Emmy, a Golden Globe and an Oscar, just needing a Tony to complete the set.

Here are the full list of winners:
