Baby Reindeer stars win big at Emmy Awards
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Baby Reindeer, the hugely popular but highly contentious British TV hit, has taken the Emmy Awards by storm, winning four trophies at the ceremony in Los Angeles.
The show's creator and star, Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, won three of those - for acting in, writing and executive producing the show.
His co-star Jessica Gunning, who played stalker Martha, was named best supporting actress in a limited series.
"Oh my goodness me, blinking heckers," she said on accepting the award.
"Thank you so much. I honestly feel like I’m going to wake up any minute now and this whole thing has been a dream."
Gadd's account of being stalked by a woman for several years and being sexually abused by a male TV industry figure, has been the most talked about show of the year.
However, its claim to be "a true story" has made it controversial, and the real-life woman who allegedly inspired Gunning's character is currently suing Netflix for defamation, negligence and privacy violations.
In the comedy categories, The Bear won three acting awards including best comedy actor for Jeremy Allen White, who plays Carmy, for the second year in a row.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) and Liza Colon-Zayas (Tina) took the supporting awards, the latter appearing overwhelmed to have beaten legends like Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett.
In the drama categories, Australia's Elizabeth Debicki won her first Emmy, best drama actress for playing Princess Diana in the final season of Netflix's The Crown.
The other drama categories were dominated by Japanese historical epic Shogun.
The show had already broken the record for the most Emmy wins in a single year after picking up 14 prizes at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, mainly for achievements behind the scenes.
It added another four trophies at the main event, including best drama series - the first non-English language show to take that prestigious prize.
There were also lead drama acting awards for Japanese cast members Hiroyuki Sanada (Yoshii Toranaga) and Anna Sawai (Toda Mariko).
Elsewhere, Billy Crudup won best supporting drama actor for The Morning Show, while Jodie Foster won best actress in a limited series for True Detective: Night Country.
Successful British talent included TV host John Oliver, who won best scripted variety series, and Will Smith, who won best drama writing for Slow Horses.
The Traitors host Alan Cumming picked up the programme's trophy for best reality competition show, beating RuPaul's Drag Race, which had won that category in five of the past six years.
Cumming was also named best reality competition host at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys.
