See the complete list of winners for the 68th Annual Emmy Awards

Oh, it's good to be a nerd. Last night's Emmy Awards was not only a night where laughs were shared and history was made, but it also saw many fan-favorite shows walking away with gold. The HBO sensation GAME OF THRONES walked away with top honors giving it 38 total awards, making it the most awarded show in history, topping FRASIER which had 37. As well, shows like ORPHAN BLACK, SHERLOCK and ARCHER (the latter during last week's Creative Arts ceremony) walked away with premium prizes, while comedy vets Louie Anderson and Patton Oswalt won their first awards (for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special).

Other winners included Julia Louis-Dreyfus taking home her FIFTH consecutive Lead Actress statue (comedy), while THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON cleaned house in the Limited Series category. Though this ceremony was as fast-paced as a three hour awards ceremony can go, and was quite humorous thanks to the hosting job by Jimmy Kimmel, I can't say I was totally happy with all of the results. I mean, come on, how can GAME OF THRONES not win even one of its five (that's right, five!) Supporting Actor/Actress nominations. Damn you, Maggie Smith!
