Big Little Lies [2] was one of the most talked-about shows when it premiered in April, so it shouldn't come as a shock that it swept up a ton of awards at the Emmys [3]. The HBO series won eight of the 14 awards it was nominated for during the ceremony on Sunday night, including best limited series and best actress for Nicole Kidman [4]. In fact, it actually ended up tying with The Handmaid's Tale [5] for the most awards of the night. Hopefully the great response means a second season isn't too far behind [6]. See all the Emmys the show took home below.
