Emmys Latest | Winners dance and dine at Governors Gala

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on the Emmy Awards (all times local):

9:20 p.m.

Newly minted Emmy winners made their first party stop at the Governors Gala.

For the first time, the official Emmy Awards after party was held outdoors, outside the Los Angeles Convention Center next door to the Microsoft Theater where the ceremony was held earlier Monday night.

Geena Davis, who was honored during the ceremony with the Governors Award for her work with her institute on gender in media, wandered barefoot through the party carrying a plate of salmon.

Partygoers danced under the stars to a live band that kicked into Emmy winner Lizzo’s “About Damn Time," and jammed the plaza's bars awaiting champagne and cocktails.

Longtime “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels, whose show won best sketch series for the sixth year in a row, held court with an Emmy statuette on the table.

Salmon, rare beef and mini tacos were on the al fresco menu.

“Succession," “Ted Lasso” and “Squid Game” were among the winners of the top awards at the ceremony hosted by Kenan Thompson.

The Roy family comes out ahead again.

“Succession” has won best drama series at the Emmys.

Season three of the HBO drama starring Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong about a media monarch and the children who seek to succeed him took the top prize on Monday night, just as season two did in 2020.

Matthew Macfadyen was the only “Succession” star to take home an acting Emmy Monday.

Netflix’s “The Crown” won best drama last year, when “Succession” was between seasons.

“Succession” beat out competitors “Better Call Saul,” “Euphoria,” “Ozark,” “Severance,” “Squid Game,” “Stranger Things” and “Yellowjackets.”
