A ton of cracking shows competed for TV's biggest awards, with Ted Lasso, The Handmaid's Tale and The Crown leading nominations.

Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin are both nominated in acting categories for The Crown.

Will it be another big year for The Crown ? Will Ted Lasso sweep the comedy awards? What's The Handmaid's Tale up to these days? The 93rd Primetime Emmy Awards saw these stellar shows enter the ring and, unfortunately, only two of those came away with major wins.

The show was held in Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 19, and saw The Queen's Gambit, The Crown, Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis, Kate Winslet and Mare of Easttown go home with gold statues.

Ted Lasso has the most of the major nominations that'll be announced tonight, at 13. The Handmaid's Tale and The Crown each have 11 major nominations, and The Queens Gambit is up for six major statues.

The year's Emmys also create history. Mj Rodriguez, who plays Blanca in FX's Pose, is nominated for best drama actress, becoming the first transgender performer to be nominated in a major acting category.

The Queen's Gambit is up for several major awards. Chess has never felt so seen.

Jason Sudeikis has a best actor in a comedy nomination for Ted Lasso. And that's the tea.
