AT&T Inc's HBO network triumphed at Sunday's Emmy Awards with 30 wins, including best drama "Succession" and limited series "Watchmen," while Apple Inc took home its first award for the iPhone maker's dive into streaming television. The Pop cable network, owned by ViacomCBS Inc, took the top comedy prize for offbeat series "Schitt's Creek," which swept comedy categories to collect nine awards overall. The exception was in 2018, when Netflix and HBO tied in Emmy wins. This year, HBO's alternative-reality drama "Watchmen" topped all shows with 11 awards, while the network's media dynasty tale "Succession" earned seven. Eugene Levy, who won best comedy actor, thanked Netflix for "the spark that seemed to start everything" for the show.
