The 74th Emmy Awards took place this afternoon at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, with Ted Lasso and The White Lotus winning big.

Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson hosted this year's ceremony, with the pre-show hosted by Laverne Cox.

Scroll down for the full list of nominees and winners.

Other presenters this year, some of whom are also nominees, included some of the biggest names in television, from Kelly Clarkson to Selena Gomez, Jung Ho-yeon and Lee Jung-jae, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Taye Diggs, Ariana DeBose and Kerry Washington.

The competition was fierce, as Succession lead the 2022 nominations with 25 nods. Its stars Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong were both up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, however Squid Game's Lee Jung-jae ultimately took out the win.

Along with Apple+ series Ted Lasso, White Lotus follows with 20 nominations, including a nod for Jennifer Coolidge.

Hulu's Only Murders in the Building has bagged 17 nods, apart from lead actress Selena Gomez, considered one of the biggest snubs of this year's Emmys.

Elsewhere, Squid Game has made history by becoming the first non-English language series to land a nomination for Best Drama, while Abbot Elementary creator Qunita Brunson is also a first as the only black woman to be nominated for three Emmys.
