It became the first program to sweep every major category, going 7/7, in Emmy history, until 2020 when Schitt’s Creek repeated the feat.

Along with Schitt’s Creek, Caesar's Hour in 1957 and The Crown in 2021, it is one of only four programs to win all four main acting categories.

After years of winning everything but the top prize, The Sopranos finally took home the crown for Outstanding Drama Series, not only knocking off four-time defending champion The West Wing but by being the first cable show, HBO, ever to beat any of the Big Four television networks for that award.

One of those wins was for Drea de Matteo for Drama Supporting Actress and, too, was the first time that award went to a cable network.

Though it did not tie the record, Frasier finished its Emmy career on a high note, winning two major awards, the most it had won since 1998.
