Netflix hasn't yet taken home a Best Picture Oscar. But after years of attempts, the streamer has finally nabbed a best series Emmy.

At Sunday's Emmys, the award for Outstanding Drama Series went to Netflix's royal drama The Crown, which won over nominees including Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale and Disney's The Mandalorian. This was the first time ever that Netflix earned one of the top Emmys for best comedy or drama series.
