The Emmys 2021 ceremony went down Sunday, September 19 at 8 p.m. E.T. on CBS, and the nominees list is stacked. But who took home the gold? Who, simply put, were the Emmy winners?
Television has become the medium for A-list talent, and because of that the Primetime Emmy Awards winners look a lot like Oscar winners. Look no further than this year's nominees for proof that Hollywood has embraced the small screen. Kate Winslet, Jean Smart, and Hugh Grant are among the heavy hitters nominated for Emmys this year. And past Emmy Award winners include Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, and Regina King.
