TV’s biggest night is over — and one network is walking away dominant.


Disney’s FX (DIS) was the big winner of the Primetime Emmys on Sunday, taking home 9 trophies.

But other streamers and networks, like Netflix and HBO/Max, had good nights too.

Check out which networks and streamers took home the most awards, and what for.

#5: TIE — Comedy Central

Comedy Central (PARA) took home an Emmy for “Outstanding Talk Series” for “The Daily Show.” It was up against “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”


#5: TIE — Peacock

Peacock (CMCSA) nabbed a trophy for “Outstanding Competition Series” thanks to its break-out show, “The Traitors,” hosted by Alan Cumming. The show ended the winning streak of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”


#4: Apple TV+

Apple TV (AAPL)+ scored two Emmys, one for acting and one for writing. “Slow Horses” creator Will Smith won “Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series” for the show’s third season, and “The Morning Show” star Billy Crudup won for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.”


#2: TIE — HBO/Max

HBO/Max (WBD) took home six awards on Sunday. “Hacks” took home three awards, including “Best Comedy.” “Last Week Tonight” hosted by John Oliver won two awards, and “Alex Edelman: Just for Us” got the award for best writing for a variety special. Still, it was a rough year for the network, which is used to scoring more wins.


#2: TIE — Netflix

Netflix (NFLX) took home six awards, four thanks to the limited series “Baby Reindeer.” The Richard Gadden-helmed show swept, winning “Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series,” “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie,” “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie,” and “Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.” Netflix also won “Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series or Movie” for “Ripley” — and “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series,” which Elizabeth Debicki took home for her role in “The Crown.”


#1: FX

FX, which is owned by Disney and streams on Hulu, was the night’s big winner, thanks to “Shōgun” and “The Bear,” which each won four Emmys on Sunday. The network nabbed a ninth for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series,” which Lamorne Morris won for his role in “Fargo.”
