Other winners include Alexis Bledel (best guest actress in a drama series for The Handmaid's Tale) and Gerald McRaney (best guest actor in a drama for This Is Us).
Awards for the major Primetime Emmy Awards categories will be handed out on Sept 17 in a televised ceremony hosted by comedian Stephen Colbert.
It will air live here on Sept 18 at 8am on video-streaming service Fox+ and StarWorld (StarHub TV Ch 501/Singtel TV Ch 301). - REUTERS
