Hulu’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ becomes first streaming show to win in the Emmys Best Drama category

Hulu has been a slow starter in the major awards circuit. But it got a first that its rivals Amazon and Netflix haven’t been able to get yet: a win in the Outstanding Drama category at the Emmys. Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale just won in said category, besting the likes of Stranger Things, This Is Us, The Crown, Better Call Saul, Westworld, and House of Cards. The show won four other awards that night, including best actress for Elisabeth Moss and best supporting actress for Ann Dowd.

The Handmaid’s Tale is adapted from Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name. The show’s writer and executive producer Bruce Miller, who also took home an Emmy for writer in a drama series, thanked Atwood for creating “this world for all of us.”
