A list of all of last night's winner's can be found here.

Last night's 2020 Emmy Awards was full of headline-making moments.

If the fact that the entire ceremony taking place behind closed doors in a huge A-list Zoom call wasn't big enough, we also had 24-year-old Zendaya making history by becoming the youngest 'Best Actress' winner in the award's history.

In addition, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, and Courteney Cox treated viewers to a 50% Friends reunion, as we eagerly await the actual HBO reunion.

However, despite the many talking points coming out of last night's incredible show, there was one moment that left a sour taste in the mouths of many viewers watching at home.

After losing to Englishman John Oliver in the Variety Series category, host Jimmy Kimmel joked that he was going to report his rival talk show host to ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Watch the hotly-debated joke in the video below:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/9EzzJn8i-dkXnENEs.mp4||9EzzJn8i]]

The quip was particularly controversial considering that an ICE whistleblower spoke out last week regarding a "high rate of hysterectomies and medical neglect" at a particular facility, as CNN and other major news outlets reported.

Yes, despite host Kimmel, 52, doing an entertaining job throughout the night, many viewers were unable to let this joke slide, and quickly took to Twitter to bash the presenter.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/_pammyyy/status/1307851111412400136]]

One Twitter user wrote: "Jimmy that ICE joke was a hard no. You are disgusting."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/ellearee/status/1307850629738627073]]

And a second concurred, tweeting: "Jokes about reporting folks not born in America to the brutal force that #ice has become are Not Funny."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/littlewarior7/status/1307851381689155586]]

Another Twitter user branded Kimmel's joke "tone-deaf" and "insensitive".

Kimmel was also slammed on Twitter for his "white privilege" that even allowed him to get away with the joke, with one social media user writing:

"The amount of white privilege it took for Jimmy Kimmel to get up on stage at a nationally televised event and make a joke about ice and have no one tell him that that isn’t okay, is absolutely astonishing to me."

Of course, per The List, Oliver received his US citizenship back in December 2019, and earlier this year spoke out about how difficult it was for him to attain.

He told fellow talk show host Jimmy Fallon back in June:  "I mean it's really bad. And it's bad for me [...] that's what I guess is the scary canary in the coal mine. It's bad for a white man coming from Britain who has the help of first Comedy Central and then HBO lawyers."

Sunday night saw the 2019 Emmys roll around. The awards ceremony recognises excellence in television, and it's a great opportunity for everyone to heap praise on people who - let's face it - don't get enough plaudits and glory already: actors.

I'm being glib, of course. The ceremony is much more than a mutual back-slapping photo op for the rich and famous. It's a chance for us all to remember the great television shows of the past year - and let's face it, there have been a lot.

There was the triumphant return of Killing Eve - starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, the latter of whom won best leading drama actress for her role as Villanelle in the series. Another triumph for the Brits saw Phoebe Waller-Bridge scoop the prizes for best leading comedy actress, best comedy series and best comedy writing for her highly successful show Fleabag.

"It's so wonderful and reassuring to know that a dirty, pervy, angry and messed-up woman can make it to the Emmys," quipped the writer and actress, in reference to the lead character of the series.

Elsewhere, Jason Bateman took home the Emmy for outstanding direction of a drama series (for Ozark), beating out Game of Thrones in the process. Frankly, no-one looked more surprised than Bateman himself at the pronouncement of his triumph, and now his reaction has become the internet's new favourite meme.

I think we can all only aspire to that level of iconic reaction in our own lives. Jason Bateman, we salute you as the new king of the Emmy meme. Applications now closed until next year.

Last night's 2019 Emmy Awards ceremony marked an opportunity to reward excellence in television, and there were many extremely worthy winners on the night.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge won big for her smash hit comedy series Fleabag, while Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) also took home one of the night's big awards. Jason Bateman provided us with the most hilarious moment of the night with his deadpan, disbelieving reaction to winning the outstanding direction of a drama series Emmy, beating out competition from Game of Thrones in the process.

Game of Thrones may not have triumphed in as many of the major categories last night as some had anticipated, but it did win the much-coveted Outstanding Drama Series award. It also provided Peter Dinklage with the chance to make a little history of his own - the actor last night became the first to win four Emmys for the same supporting role in a drama series.

However, part of Dinklage's excellent speech, which touched on issues of "tolerance and diversity" was bleeped out by broadcaster FOX, due to him dropping the f-bomb while praising his co-stars.

Check out Peter Dinklage's epic acceptance speech, including the moment his speech is bleeped out, right here:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/f9PQq5Id-dkXnENEs.mp4||f9PQq5Id]]

Here's Dinklage's speech in full, as per Esquire;

"Thank you. I have no idea what I'm about to say, but here we go. I count myself so fortunate to be a member of a community that is all about tolerance and diversity, because no other place could I be standing on a stage like this. It's been about 10 years, all said and done, since the moment I met Dave and Dan until right now. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I knew that David and Dan were quite brilliant. Ten years of absolute sweat, but 10 years of the most incredible, talented, funniest motherf*cking people — hey, it's over, I don't care — I've ever been lucky enough to work with. We did nothing but sweat, we did nothing but laugh. Dave and Dan, we literally walked through fire and ice for you. Literally. And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you."

This may be the final go round at the Emmys for the Game of Thrones cast as an ensemble, but if their excellent acting chops in the many seasons of the show are anything to go by, there will be more wins in the future for the alumni of one of the most popular and successful television shows of all time.

And so, another night of celebrating the very best of television is in the books.

The 2019 Emmys provided fans of television and celebrities with the usual host of brilliant acceptance speeches, hilarious moments and big wins for popular favourites.

Jason Bateman delighted everyone with his disbelieving reaction to winning the outstanding direction of a drama series Emmy for his work on Ozark, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge won big for her comedy series Fleabag.

This year's Emmys also marked the final time the Game of Thrones cast would attend as an ensemble, after the show came to its conclusion earlier this year in dramatic fashion.

By now, you've probably seen all of the headlines and big moments from the night itself, so why not indulge your enjoyment of all things Emmys 2019 one more time with some candid behind-the-scenes Instagram posts from the celebrities in attendance at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.

Personally, I think Ken Jeong's video deserves an Emmy all on its own, but that's just me. Isn't it fascinating to see all these celebs before they get to the red carpet? Good old Instagram, eh?
