Get the scoop on the highlights from last night's Emmys.
The 66th annual Emmys awards, a celebration of the television industry showcasing the best of primetime and daytime entertainment programming, were held Monday, August 25.
Red colour dictated the Red Carpet at the 66th Emmy Awards
The evening was filled with glamorous gowns, with red being the hot colour of the night. Everyone from 'Orange Is The New Black's' Uzo Aduba to 'Mad Men's' Christina Hendricks rocked the hue, though some much better than others. And while a few of the dresses made our drop-dead gorgeous list (Laverne Cox), others totally missed the mark (we're looking at you, Lena Dunham!)
Julia Roberts at the Red Carpet
A-lister Julia Roberts showed off her best assets – her legs – in this midnight blue beaded Elie Saab cocktail gown while our brown divas oped for floor sweeping dresses.
Mindy Kaling and Padma Lakshmi at the Red Carpet
Funny girl Mindy Kaling hit the red carpet on a bright note in a custom made Kenzo gown while Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi made her entrance in a crisp white Ralph Rucci couture number.
The Emmys began with host, Seth Meyers' monologue. He cracked jokes about the VMAs and why the Emmys was being held both a month earlier than usual.
“We had comedies that made you laugh and dramadies that made you cry, because they were submitted as comedies,” Meyers said, referring to 'Orange is the New Black' (Netflix) that was placed in the category of Outstanding Comedy Series.
“Congratulations to HBO. They have 99 nominations, the most of any network. Not to be outdone, NBC is also a network,” he quipped.
Meyers known for his talk show 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', as well as being the head writer for 'Saturday Night Live', made a great host to the awards night, keeping the evening lighthearted with comedic jabs at popular shows like 'Game of Thrones' and the finale of 'How I Met Your Mother'.
The big winner of the night, 'Breaking Bad' took home awards for lead actor Bryan Cranston, supporting actor Aaron Paul, supporting actress Anna Gunn, and outstanding drama. 'Breaking Bad' now a global phenomenon, is even referenced in the Bollywood film 'Mardaani,' where the villain is shown in front of a photo of the lead character, saying that he named himself Holt because he was a fan of the show.
Robin Williams' In Memoriam Emmys Tribute
Billy Crystal paid a heart wrenching tribute to Robin Williams, who touched the hearts of millions with his roles in films 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and 'Jumanji'. Billy, said, “It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives for almost 40 years, led the tribute. He was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy.”
The honourary segment took a controversial turn as a clip from the 'In Memory' of Williams showcased the actor wearing a pink scarf around his head pretending it was a hijab and exclaiming “I would like to welcome you to Iran … Help me!” was shown. Fans expressed their shock about the racial joke being included in the clips.
Sofia Vergara on a rotating pedestal
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara found herself in the eye of a controversial Emmy Awards storm after a satirical segment on diversity in television she starred in was accused of being sexist. The actress, dressed in a form fitting white gown, was placed on a rotating pedestal as Television Arts and Sciences President, Bruce Rosenblum used her body as evidence that TV throughout the years has given countless audiences "something to look at".
Al Yankovic took the stage to spoof 'Game of Thrones' and to give lyrics to the instrumental theme songs of top nominee shows.
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss's on-stage smooch
Another great moment was Julia Louis-Dreyfus win for 'Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series' for HBO’s 'Veep'. The actress was grabbed and kissed on-stage by Bryan Cranston who played her love interest on 'Seinfeld'. The actress had no option but to remember the good ole days after that.
