Darren Criss, who is of Filipino descent, won the lead acting award for the miniseries “The Assassinat­ion of Gianni Versace,” which won best limited series. Black actress Thandie Newton won best supporting drama actress for “Westworld.” Peter Dinklage added a third acting trophy to his collection for “Game of Thrones.”

Brosnahan used her acceptance speech to give a shoutout to her comedy’s celebratio­n of women power.

“It’s about a woman who’s finding her voice anew, and it’s one of the things that’s happening all over the country now,” she said. She urged the audience to exercise that power by voting.

Bill Hader collected the best comedy actor award for “Barry,” a dark comedy about a hired killer who stumbles into a possible acting career.

Henry Winkler, aka “The Fonz,” won a supporting actor award — his first Emmy — for “Barry,” four decades after gaining fame for his role in “Happy Days.”

“If you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you. Tonight, I got to clear the table,” an ebullient Winkler said, with an equally delighted auditorium audience rising to give him a standing ovation. To his grown children, he said: “You can go to bed now, daddy won!”

The biggest award won by a broadcast network was “Saturday Night Live” for best variety sketch series.
