Other big winners included Disney+’s The Mandalorian and NBC’s Saturday Night Live, which stand at seven wins apiece. RuPaul’s Drag Race took home five awards, including a sixth consecutive win for the show’s host RuPaul. Meanwhile, Bo Burnham’s Netflix comedy special Inside, David Attenborough documentary A Life on Our Planet, Marvel’s WandaVision, Apple comedy Ted Lasso, and FX’s Pose have three wins each.
