FX’s freshman drama The Old Man picked up a pair of wins tonight: Jules O’Loughlin in the One-Hour Commercial TV category and Sean Porter for Pilot, Limited Series or TV Movie.
Carl Herse of HBO’s Barry won for Episode of a Half-Hour Series.
Gina Prince-Bythewood presented the ASC’s Board of Governors Awards to Fences Oscar winner and four-time nominee Viola Davis, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu introduced his Bardo Oscar nominee Khondji, who received the International Award.
Five-time Emmy nominee Fred Murphy (The Good Wife, In Treatment) accepted the Career Achievement in Television Award, presented by Jake Gyllenhaal.
