HBO’s “Watchmen” went into the night with more nominations than any series, and finished with the most wins, including outstanding limited series. “Watchmen” also earned wins for lead actress Regina King, supporting actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and writers Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson. HBO’s haul included a win for “Euphoria,” whose star Zendaya landed the award for lead actress in a drama, becoming the youngest person to do so at age 24. With 30 Emmys, including awards handed out on previous nights, HBO beat out the 21 total wins of rival Netflix. Its crime family series “Ozark,” which had been considered a top contender for best drama, landed a win for supporting actress Julia Garner.
