Netflix's online-only 'House of Cards' snags three Emmys Sep 23rd 2013, 13:57 HBO made television history in 1999 when its critically-acclaimed series The Sopranos took home five Emmy wins, a first for any cable-produced dramatic series. Now, fourteen years later, the company aiming to be the HBO for the online era is following its rival onto the television industry's biggest celebration. Netflix's House of Cards took home three Emmy awards Sunday night, after being nominated in 14 categories. The wins marks the first time an online-only series has won an Emmy. The surprise, however, wasn't that House of Cards took home three statuettes, but that it didn't take home more. "I did not see this coming. I thought this was going to be House of Cards," said Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, accepting the Emmy for outstanding drama series. House of Cards took home Emmy wins for outstanding cinematography for a single camera series, outstanding casting for a drama series, and outstanding directing for a drama series (David Fincher).
