The first drama award of the ceremony went to Babou Ceesay, who took Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Drama Series for FX/Hulu’s creepshow Alien: Earth.
A trio of comedy prizes have been awarded thus far. HBO Max’s I Love LA took the Breakthrough Comedy Series award, and Tim Robinson won his lead performance in that streamer’s workplace-set The Chair Company. Laurie took the Supporting Performance trophy for Netflix’s Big Mistakes, which came into the evening tied with the streamer‘s miniseries Death by Lightning with a leading four nominations each.
The night’s first telepic award went to Cory Michael Smith, who won Outstanding Performance in an Original Film for HBO Max’s satirical dramedy Mountainhead. Shudder’s French septuagenarian spy pic Reflection in a Dead Diamond then took home the Gotham for Outstanding Original Film, Broadcast or Streaming.
