Simpson: American Crime Story was the most nominated program at the ceremony with 13, and 22 overall,[6] although Game of Thrones received the most overall nominations that year with 23 as the most nominated drama series.[7]
With five awards, The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story won the most awards of the night, while the fantasy drama series Game of Thrones won three, including Outstanding Drama Series and surpassed Frasier (37) as the fictional television program with the most Primetime Emmy Awards with 38 wins in six seasons.[8] The Game of Thrones' win was also the second time a Sixth season of any show, had won the Outstanding Drama award, after fellow HBO show, The Sopranos' Sixth season had won it, in 2007.
Additionally, the political satire series Veep won Outstanding Comedy Series for the second time in a row, while its producer and lead star Julia Louis-Dreyfus established a new record of wins for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series; it was her fifth consecutive win for the series and sixth overall in the category.[9]
For the first time, none of the nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series were from the four major American broadcasting TV networks. In addition, Ben Mendelsohn became the first actor to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for a series from a streaming service network; he won for Bloodline from Netflix.
This is the first and, as of 2020, the only ceremony where no network received more than one nomination in the Drama Series category. That feat has never been done in the Comedy Series category.
