"Veep" repeated as best comedy series and its star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, won a record-breaking sixth Emmy as best comedy actress. But Viola Davis of "How to Get Away with Murder" failed to repeat her 2015 best drama actress win, the first for a woman of color. Her victory gave her six best comedy wins — five for "Veep," one for "The New Adventures of Old Christine" — and broke her tie with Candice Bergen and Mary Tyler Moore. Maggie Smith was honored as best supporting actress in a drama series for the final season of "Downton Abbey." Ben Mendelsohn of "Bloodline" won as best supporting drama actor and also was a no-show.
