FX is on a Golden Globes roll. The network won two 2017 Golden Globes Awards for its limited series People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Fx’s 10-episode series about the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial won the Golden Globes award for Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made For Television, besting American Crime, The Dresser, The Night Manager and The Night Of.

Sarah Paulson also won a Globes award for best performance by an actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her portrayal of prosecutor Marcia Clark in the series. 

FX also won a Globes award for its freshman comedy series Atlanta.

HBO once again flexed its creative muscles in winning the most 2016 Emmys Awards of any network, but FX gave the reigning champion a run for its money.

FX, on the strength of its freshman limited series The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, won six Emmy Awards during last night’s primetime Emmys telecast, tying HBO for the most wins among all networks and streaming services.

The People V. O.J. Simpson drew the most hardware of the night with five Emmy Awards, including best limited series.

FX kept HBO from once again winning the Emmys triple crown as Game of Thrones won the Emmy for best drama for the second year in a row while Veep repeated as best comedy series.

HBO won 22 Emmys, including 16 Creative Arts Emmys announced last week, to best all cable and broadcast networks. The network was  led by Game Of Thrones, which matched its record 12 Emmys wins set last year.

FX was second with 18 Emmys followed by streaming service Netflix with nine Emmys, including three during last night’s telecast.

Among the surprise winners of the night were Rami Malek, who won best actor in a drama series for his portrayal of computer hacker Elliot Alderson in USA Network’s freshman series Mr. Robot, and Tatiana Maslany, who in her last year of eligibility won the best drama actress Emmy for playing multiple characters in BBC’s science fiction-themed series Orphan Black.

Orphan Black will end its run on BBC America in 2017 after five seasons.

Also pulling off a surprise win was veteran actor Louie Anderson, who won best supporting actor in a comedy series for his role as a woman in FX's freshman series Baskets. 

Not so surprising was Jeffrey Tambor’s repeat as best comedy actor for his transgender role in Transparent, and Julia Louise-Dreyfus, whose lead role on Veep won her best comedy actress honors for the fifth straight year.

Netflix has acquired streaming rights to FX’s anthology series American Crime Story as part of a subscription video on demand licensing deal between Netflix and 20th Century Fox Television Distribution.

The deal calls for Netflix to stream the series beginning with The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which aired on FX earlier this year and will launch on the OTT service in 2017, said Netflix.

The second season of America Crime Story focusing on Hurricane Katrina will debut on FX next year, said the network.
