Sarah Snook claimed the Best Actress in a TV Drama Series award for her portrayal of the ambitious Shiv Roy in ‘Succession,’ a show that also secured the Best TV Drama accolade. Jokingly, Snook mentioned she was hoping someone else might accept the award on her behalf. She triumphed over strong competition including Helen Mirren, Bella Ramsey, Keri Russell, Imelda Staunton, and Emma Stone.
