Why it matters: Cardellini's first Emmy — after nominations spanning a prestige drama (Mad Men) and a Netflix comedy (Dead to Me) — caps a dominant Emmy season for HBO's DTF St. Louis, which converted six of its 13 nominations into wins on Sunday and still has Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series ahead at the primetime telecast. The show's haul positions HBO as the night's biggest limited-series winner.
