The Sopranos has marked the end of its final season with the top prize at the Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
The mob drama, which ended in the US in June, took three awards, among them the prestigious title of best drama series.
But star James Gandolfini was beaten to the best actor award by James Spader, star of courtroom show Boston Legal.
British comedian Ricky Gervais was named best actor in a comedy series for his role as a hapless actor in his BBC TV series, Extras.
America Ferrara, star of comedy Ugly Betty, won the award for best female actor in a comedy.
And the Sopranos missed out on a two other acting awards: supporting actor gongs went to Terry O'Quinn, who plays the mysterious John Locke in castaway drama Lost, and Katherine Heigl of hospital show Grey's Anatomy.
But the entire Sopranos cast took to the stage when the show was named the top drama, as a star-studded audience gave them a standing ovation.
"This amazing cast is really what it comes down to. It really is all about them," said creator and director David Chase.
