The Handmaid's Tale and political comedy Veep won the top prizes at the Emmy awards on Sunday, but satirical sketch show Saturday Night Live won the most Emmys overall on the back of a season of Donald Trump spoofs.

The new US president, who never won an Emmy despite his reality show past, was also the butt of multiple jokes at the ceremony honouring the best of television. "If he (Trump) had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn't have run for president," host Stephen Colbert told the A-list audience. "It's your fault! He never forgave you and he never will."
