The Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards ceremony was held on October 28, 2015 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel.

The ceremony became notable for breaking two major milestones: Game of Thrones set a new record by winning 12 awards, the most for any show in a single year, up to this date (it was also the second HBO show, after The Sopranos , to win the Outstanding Drama Series award), while Viola Davis became the first African-American woman in Emmy history to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Annalise Keating in How to Get Away with Murder . [6] [7] [8]

This year also saw for the first time, two Streaming service networks win four Acting awards: Netflix, with Uzo Aduba in Orange Is the New Black and Reg E. Cathey in House of Cards ; [9] and Amazon Studios, with Jeffrey Tambor for Transparent and Bradley Whitford [10] for the same show.

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series went to the HBO political satire Veep , which not only broke Modern Family 's five-year hold on the award [11] but became the second time a premium channel won Outstanding Comedy Series (the first was for HBO's romantic comedy Sex and the City in 2001).

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series is an award presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). In early Primetime Emmy Award ceremonies, the supporting categories were not always genre, or even gender, specific.

It is awarded to a performer for an outstanding "continuing or single voice-over performance in a series or a special."

In 2009, the rules were changed to a category award, with five nominees.
