Accepting the Best Television Series, Drama honour, showrunner Peter Morgan lamented the fact the ceremony wasn't being held in person.
He said: "I'm just sorry I'm sitting here in my tragic little office, nut surrounded by the people who make this show such a pleasure to make.
"Olivia, Tobias, Helena, Gillian, Emma, Josh, Erin, the directors, my wonderful producers, the editor, the composer...
"Quite frankly I miss not being with my fellow nominees in that wonderful room, that crazy room. I'm glad I'm not having to face the room making the speech, it's always the most fun awards show."
Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy went to “Schitt's Creek”, with its star Catherine O'Hara taking Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, though her co-star Eugene Levy missed out on the Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy award, which went to Jason Sudeikis for “Ted Lasso”.

Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy went to “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”, for which its star, Sacha Baron Cohen - who also won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy - paid tribute to the film’s crew, who had run "the risk of getting arrested, the risk of getting Covid" in making the movie.
He added: “They did that because we all believed so deeply in releasing this movie before the election to show the danger of lies, hates, conspiracies and the power of truth, empathy and democracy.”
