The big wins before TV's biggest night
India, Sept. 8 -- The second night of the 78th Emmy Awards took place on September 6 at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles, honouring outstanding artistic and technical achievements across television. The ceremony, which followed the first night on September 5, delivered a mix of celebratory and emotional moments, with veteran stars and some of the year's most talked-about shows taking home trophies.
