*At the 2016 prime time Emmy Awards held in Los Angeles on Sunday (09-18-16), FX’s acclaimed docudrama “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” walked away with 5 awards over all and the Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series.
The series was based on Jeffrey Toobin’s 1997 book “The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson.” It chronicled the 1995 trial of Simpson in the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. “The People v. O.J. Simpson” was created by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and starred Courtney B. Vance, Cuba Gooding Jr., John Travolta, Sarah Paulson and Sterling K. Brown.
Speaking of Paulson, and Brown, they were the individual winners from the series. Paulson, who played DA Marcia Clark, had Clark as her plus one guest.
Meanwhile, HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” made history with three wins, including a repeat as Best Drama Series, giving it the most Emmys ever for a scripted series.
