Gold Derby TV Awards winners announced; Watch 20+ acceptance speeches by big winners from ‘Ted Lasso,’ ‘The Crown’ and …
"The Crown" was the big winner at the 18th Annual Gold Derby TV Awards honoring the best achievements on the small screen from June 2020 through May 2021 (plus the hanging episodes of shows that didn't finish airing their seasons until June 2021). The Netflix period series about the British royal family claimed six awards including Best Drama. Watch our complete awards ceremony above, and scroll down for the complete list of champs in all 30 categories, which were voted on by more than 2,000 Gold Derby users representing some of the savviest awards watchers and media devotees in the world.
For the first time ever, we asked winners to join us on our ceremony. Watch the video above to see acceptance speeches from Gillian Anderson, Paul Bettany, RuPaul Charles, Emma Corrin, Charles Dance, Rosario Dawson, Kathryn Hahn, Conan O'Brien, Evan Peters, Maya Rudolph, Jean Smart, Hannah Waddingham, Michael K. Williams and Bowen Yang, plus the producers of "The Crown," "Hacks," "Invincible," "The Mandalorian," "Sylvie's Love," "Ted Lasso" and "WandaVision."
The six wins for "The Crown" also include acting victories for the aforementioned Corrin (Best Drama Actress), Anderson (Best Drama Supporting Actress), and Dance (Best Drama Guest Actor), plus Josh O'Connor (Best Drama Actor). The series also won Ensemble of the Year, and Corrin claimed Breakthrough Performer of the Year. That Breakthrough prize considers an actor's body of work over the past season so it's not associated with a particular project, but certainly Corrin's principal breakthrough achievement this past year was as Princess Diana on "The Crown," so in a way the series won seven trophies.
The top comedy was "Ted Lasso," which claimed three: Best Comedy Series, Best Comedy Actor (Jason Sudeikis) and Best Comedy Supporting Actress (Waddingham). "Hacks" won two in that field -- Best Comedy Actress (Smart) and Best Comedy Episode ("I Think She Will") -- in addition to Smart also taking home Performer of the Year thanks to her work in both "Hacks" and "Mare of Easttown."
"WandaVision" super-powered its way to triple wins for Best Limited Series, Best Movie/Limited Actor (Bettany), and Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actress (Hahn). And "Saturday Night Live" was the variety king with four victories for Best Variety Sketch Series, Best Comedy Supporting Actor (Yang) and both guest-acting prizes (Rudolph and Dan Levy).
What do you think of these winners? How many of them will repeat at the Emmys?
