Lee Jung-jae took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 74th annual Television Academy Awards for his performance in Squid Game.

In the series, Lee is player 456 aka Seong Gi-hun, though Seong is marked as the last of the 456 players, he's also the last one standing at the end of the brutal and bloody game. The series made waves with its first season which hit Netflix one year ago on September 17.
