    Emmys 2017: The Handmaid's Tale, Big Little Lies win big

    The 69th Emmy Awards was a celebration of women's stories. HBO's miniseries Big Little Lies and Hulu's screen adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel The Handmaid's Tale won the biggest - five and eight awards respectively. The star-studded event was hosted by Stephen Colbert amid several jabs and puns at American President Donald Trump. Read on to find out all the major winners.

    The Handmaid's Tale makes Emmy debut and how!

    Online streaming network Hulu's popular show The Handmaid's Tale emerged as the biggest winner. In the absence of HBO's blockbuster show Game of Thrones, it took home most of the major awards in the drama series category - best series, best actress (Elizabeth Moss), supporting actress (Ann Dowd), best director (Reed Morano), and best writer (Bruce Miller).

    HBO wins despite no Game of Thrones

    Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon's TV miniseries Big Little Lies made sure HBO didn't miss Game of Thrones' absence too dearly. It clinched five awards in the limited series section - best limited series, best actress (Nicole Kidman), best supporting actress (Laura Dern), best supporting actor (Alexander Skarsgard), and best director (Jean-Marc Vallée).
