Luckily for all of us, HBO did quite well at the annual Emmy awards this year. I mean, I would think Zaslav and company would not likely remove an award-winning work from the WBD scenario, right? HBO/HBO Max dominated with 38 total wins; 26 of them were Creative Arts awards 12 were Primetime awards. The nearest competitor was Netflix with a total of 26. Just so we have it chronicled here, we list the winners below:
