Streaming the 2016 Emmy Award winners

The 68th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out on Sunday night, spreading the wealth between established powerhouses and fresh faces. Not every winner is available to stream on demand at this time – The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, for one, is currently available for purchase on disc and digital formats only – but many of them are. Here are the winners that you can stream on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Now.

HBO Now

HBO was the big winner at the Primetime Emmy Awards, taking home 22 awards in all, including 12 for Game of Thrones, among them Outstanding Drama Series, Directing in a Drama Series and Writing in a Drama Series.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her fifth consecutive best actress award for her role on Veep, which also won for Comedy Series, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver took home awards for Variety Talk Series and Writing for a Variety Series, and Girls won for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Peter Scolari.

All three shows are on HBO Now, HBO Go, and HBO On Demand.

Amazon Prime is the home of Transparent, winner of two Emmy Awards (Jeffrey Tambor, Actor in a Comedy Series, and Jill Soloway, Directing for a Comedy Series). It’s the second year for both winners.

Rami Malek won the Emmy for Actor in a Drama Series for the first season of Mr. Robot, available on Amazon Prime. The second season is on the USA network website and streaming app.

Season Four of Orphan Black (Tatiana Maslany, Actress in a Drama Series) is on the BBC America website, but you can stream the first three seasons on Amazon Prime, and Maslany’s performance in these seasons is equally deserving
