The best moments from the 2016 Emmy Awards

Much to the disappointment of her #cloneclub fans, <em>Orphan Black</em> star Tatiana Maslany didn't nab TV gold after her first nomination last year, but all that changed as the Alexander Wang-clad Canadian beauty took the stage to accept her trophy at the 2016 awards. With a challenging role on the sci-fi series that sees Tatiana take on dozens of different roles as her character's many clones, it was only a matter of time before she brought the big prize home for Canada. <br>Whipping out her phone to ensure that she thanked everyone on her list, the charming 30-year-old got teary while thanking her family before stating, "I feel so lucky to be on a show that puts women at the centre." <br>Photo: © CP
James Corden teased fans with a sneak peek of his Emmy Awards look shortly before the ceremony got underway, sharing a photo showing him dressed in a cheerleading costume. "I'm the only nominee at the #Emmys wearing this right now!" the star tweeted. Thankfully, James was only joking – he posed on the red carpet in a sharp black tuxedo next to his wife Julia Carey. <br>Photo: © Twitter
Jimmy Kimmel takes his responsibilities as host very seriously; the TV star enlisted his mum to make 7,000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to stop the audience from getting hungry on Sunday night, and had the kids from <em>Stranger Things</em> hand them out – on bikes! <br>Photo: © Getty Images
Matt Damon's faux-feud with Jimmy Kimmel continues! The actor appeared on stage moments after Jimmy lost out on the Outstanding Variety Series prize, and couldn't help but rub it in. "You probably just want to go home and curl up and cry," he told the host. "You're a pretty big loser…" <br>Photo: © Getty Images
Sarah Paulson took home her very first Emmy for her portrayal of Marcia Clark in <em>The People v OJ Simpson</em> on Sunday. The actress, who brought Marcia along as her plus-one for the ceremony, dedicated her award to the famous lawyer. Sarah moved Marcia to tears as she described her as a "complicated, whip-smart, giant-hearted mother of two who woke up every day, put both feet on the floor and dedicated herself to righting an unconscionable wrong" in her acceptance speech. <br>"I, along with the rest of the world, had been superficial and careless in my judgment," Sarah said. "I'm glad to be able to stand here today in front of everyone and tell you I'm sorry." <br>Photo: © Getty Images
It was a bittersweet night for Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The <em>Veep</em> star took home her seventh Emmy Award while mourning the death of her beloved father William, who passed away on Friday. "I'm, so glad he liked <em>Veep</em>, because his opinion was the one that really mattered," the teary actress said at the end of her touching acceptance speech. <br>Photo: © Rex
Tom Hiddleston was among the stars on the red carpet at the 2016 Emmy Awards – his first official public appearance since his split from Taylor Swift earlier this month. The actor, who was nominated for his role in <em>The Night Manager</em>, was all smiles as he posed for photographers before heading inside for the ceremony. <br>Photo: © Getty Images
It was a big night for <em>Game of Thrones</em>. After winning three awards on Sunday night, the HBO show pushed its total number of Emmys to 38 – one more than Frasier – setting the record for most statues ever won by a primetime programme. <br>Photo: © Getty Images
Dame Maggie Smith took home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 2016 Emmy Awards for her role playing Violet Crawley in <em>Downton Abbey</em>. Unfortunately the British star couldn't make it to the show herself, and since host Jimmy had lost out on his award, he decided to take the trophy for himself. "No, no, no!" he interrupted. "We're not mailing this to her. Maggie, if you want this, it will be in the lost and found." <br>Photo: © Getty Images
