Apple's streaming service hasn't even been around for two full years, but it has already won one of the top awards at the Emmys.

Ted Lasso, the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ sports comedy that stars Jason Sudeikis as an affable soccer coach, won the award for Outstanding Comedy Series at Sunday's Emmys. This was the first time an original show from Apple won one of the top series awards at the Emmys. In fact, it was the first time Apple was even nominated for one of those top prizes. Apple's first major Emmy win came in 2020, when The Morning Show star Billy Crudup won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
