The night before the fall season means it's time for the Emmy Awards Presentation!

Who won for outstanding achievement in all of the major categories? Check out our coverage below.

There isn't a host this year, so after a few star appearances and comedy bits, they got right down to business.

The first winner was...

Tony Shaloub for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Abe Weissman on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Was one of his costars able to follow his lead with Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy?

Yes, indeed! It was Alex Borstein for her second win for Susie Myerson on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but this year she didn't give her topside the extra support before heading to stage!

Phoebe Waller-Bridge won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy for Episode 1 of Fleabag, admitting that she finds writing very very difficult.

She continued that she struggles so because winning an award makes it all worth it.

It was hard not to wonder what the Emmys would look like without a host, and the answer seems to be that there will be more commercials than ever before. 

Is that the best tradeoff? 

Jane Lynch and Luke Kirby won Emmys for Guest Stars in a Comedy for their gigs on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and they presented the award for Best Director of a Comedy Series.

But the winner is most deserved!

Are you getting ideas for watching more subscription television from the awards so far?

By about the time that Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel tak the stage, they're not the only ones lamenting the lack of host. Awards shows kind of need the steady stream of enteratinment.

Oh well, at least Alexa took over the nominations for a giggle.

And the first double Emmy winner is...

The loudest applause went to Gwendoline Tracey Philippa Christie.

She's such an incredible talent across the board, so getting acknowledged after her massive body of work on shows like The Americans, Maniac, and Dirty John among many others is terrific!
