Other reported winners include Kate O’Flynn, who receives an Emmy for a supporting role in “Widow’s Bay.” The Daily Mail focuses on “record-breaking” moments across the night, highlighting multiple major records tied to Smart, Janney, and Rhys, as well as the “Widow’s Bay” win. Times of India emphasizes Smart’s historic achievement and notes several notable wins across television categories, without detailing the full set of records.
Taken together, the reports agree on the headline acting results and present a broader framing of the event as one defined by standout achievements, particularly Smart’s fifth Emmy and additional award wins for Janney, Rhys, and O’Flynn.
