By the end of the evening, "The Crown" had earned a total of four awards -- one for best television series - drama, while the other three went to actors Emma Corrin, Josh O'Connor and Gillian Anderson.

It hardly comes as a surprise, however, as the streamer earned a whopping 20 nominations in the television categories alone -- meaning they were competing against themselves for several awards.
Corrin was one of five actresses nominated in her category, which included three other Netflix nods: Olivia Colman ("The Crown"), Sarah Paulson ("Ratched") and Laura Linney ("Ozark"). The fifth and final nomination went to Jodie Comer of BBC's "Killing Eve."
"The Crown," "Ratched" and "Ozark" also earned additional nominations that were beat out by fellow Netflix stars.
Similarly, both "The Queen's Gambit" and star Taylor-Joy, 24, beat out fellow Netflix property "Unorthodox" in both winning categories.
