Matthew Rhys Makes Emmy History as First Person to Win Two Lead Acting Emmys in One Night and First Man to Win All Three Top Acting Prizes

Matthew Rhys did something no actor had done in 78 years of the Emmy Awards.

Rhys won two lead acting Emmys on the same night at Monday’s ceremony. Earlier in the night he shockingly took home the lead actor (limited) for his work in Netflix’s “The Beast in Me.” Later on, he nabbed the lead comedy actor prize for Apple TV’s “Widow’s Bay.”
