'The Crown,' 'Ted Lasso,' top Emmy Awards
CTV
'The Crown' has won the best drama series Emmy Award, while Apple TV's 'Ted Lasso' took best comedy series honours.
"The Crown" stars Olivia Colman and Josh O'Connor won the top drama acting honours Sunday, with Jason Sudeikis, star of the warm-hearted "Ted Lasso," and Jean Smart of the generation-gap story "Hacks," winners on the comedy side.
Colman and O'Connor were a winning fictional mother-son duo: She plays Queen Elizabeth II, with O'Connor as Prince Charles in the British royal family saga that combines gravitas and soap opera.
"I'd have put money on that not happening," Colman said of the award, calling it "a lovely end to the most extraordinary journey" with the show's cast and creators. She cut her remarks short, explaining why she was growing tearful.
"I lost my daddy during COVID, and he would have loved all of this." she said.
