We’ll have more to share with you regarding last night’s Emmys later on in the day—like the winners of our version of the Emmys, Billy Crystal’s tribute to Robin Williams, and what went down with Weird Al Yankovic and George R.R. Martin. But for now: The winners.

The complete(ish, missing some reality/variety catergories) list of winners is behind the cut, but here’s the tl;dr: Breaking Bad remained triumphant in the drama categories, beating out primary competition True Detective in the Best Drama Series, Best Writing for a Drama Series, Lead Actor, and Supporting Actor categories; Anna Gunn won in the Best Supporting Actress category as well. Sherlock episode “The Final Vow,” submitted as a TV movie, won Emmys for Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Steven Moffat, who was nominated for Best Directing and Best Writing and won for the latter. Orange is the New Black and Game of Thrones, which each won three awards at the Creative Emmys, were completely shut out last night. And as of now The Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons has won the Best Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy for four of the last six years.

Other winners include: Fargo, Julianna Margulies, Allison Janney, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Louis C.K., and more. Hit the jump and then let’s chat in the comments.
