67th Primetime Emmy Awards: Complete List of Winners

Viola Davis
The winners of the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards were revealed in a ceremony hosted by Andy Samberg on Sunday night. Former Guiding Light and The West Wing actress won for the seventh time on Sunday, tying her with Ed Asner for the most performance Primetime Emmys in history.

Viola Davis also made history, becoming the first black actress to win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away with Murder.

“In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, and beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn’t reach them no-how,” Davis said, quoting Harriet Tubman in her acceptance speech. “Let me tell you something: the only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”

Check out the complete list of nominees and winners below:

Outstanding Drama Series
"Better Call Saul" (AMC)
"Downton Abbey" (PBS)
"Game Of Thrones" (HBO) *WINNER
"Homeland" (Showtime)
"House Of Cards" (Netflix)
"Mad Men" (AMC)
"Orange Is The New Black" (Netflix)

'Break a Hip' Premieres Today on Vimeo, Stars Christina Pickles, Allison Janney, Peri Gilpin, Octavia Spencer

Allison Janney, Peri Gilpin and Britt Hennemuth star in Break a Hip.
An all-star cast shines in the whimsical new comedy, Break a Hip, premiering exclusively on Vimeo today.

Wincy is desperate. He's a failed actor, behind on the rent, fleeing creditors and his parents’ criticism. Biz is desperate. She needs paper towels. Entering the twilight years of her life, Biz can’t manage her daily needs without help, but she might be able to help Wincy find his path in life. An unlikely friendship is born when two misfits cross generations to find each other in Break a Hip.

The starry cast is lead by five time Emmy Award-nominee Christina Pickles, an industry veteran known for her iconic portrayal of Monica’s mom Judy Geller on Friends and her Emmy-nominated turn as Nurse Helen Rosenthal in St. Elsewhere. Pickles stars as Biz, an elderly English actress living alone in a one-room studio in the heart of Hollywood. Biz hires Wincy (appealing newcomer Britt Hennemuth) to assist her with her very exceedingly specific daily needs and ends up becoming his unwitting mentor, while taking him on a series of bizarre and complicated escapades. From evading Biz’s vindictive, banjo playing landlady (Allison Janney) to navigating her escalating health issues with her new doctor (Octavia Spencer), their absurd adventures form a relationship that is unexpected, frustrating, hilarious and deeply touching.
