2016 Emmy Winners: And the Awards Go To....

at .  Updated at .

It was a night of firsts and sweeps.

Find out who won their first Emmys and what shows swept the awards, because we have every single winner from all three Emmy ceremonies below!

Jimmy Kimmel did an awesome job hosting, and even managed to point out all of the annoying gluten free stars in the audience after passing out PB&J sandwiches his mom made. And he hoped nobody was allergic to nuts! 

Congrats to all the winners. How many surprised you by the way things turned out? FX proved that there may be too much television to choose from, but what they're putting out there is of the great variety.

HBO offered up repeats with Game of Thrones and Veep, Keeping The Americans from a Best Drama win, but Rami Malek got the best actor win, even if we were also cheering heartily for Matthew Rhys. And our girl Tatiana Maslany was finally recognized for playing 397 separate roles on Orphan Black! Way to go!!

And regardless of how many times Julia Louis Dreyfus has won, she reminded us how special any given win can be when she broke down and shared the news that her father passed away this past Friday, dedicating her current award to him. 

My favorite sweep of the night was for The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, which walked away with awards for Sarah Paulson (her first win) for portraying her plus one, Marcia Clark, Sterling K. Brown and Courtney B. Vance, as well as best limited series or movie. Good stuff!!
