The Emmy Awards were last night, the biggest night for TV, and that for the second time this year. After the 2023 ceremony was delayed to January 2024 because of the Hollywood strikes, it’s only been eight months since TV’s biggest stars gathered at Los Angeles’ LA Live Peacock Theatre to announce the Emmy winners.
Like months ago, The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach once again won lead actor and supporting actor in a comedy, and co-star Colón-Zayas also won her first Emmy in the supporting actress race. Hacks star Jean Smart won lead actress in a comedy, and in the biggest surprise of the night, HBO’s Hacks won outstanding comedy over “The Bear,” which many believed to be the frontrunner.
The Bear won 11 Emmy Awards in total, breaking its own record of 10 comedy wins for a single season, which it achieved last year. But the big winner of the night was Shogun with 18 wins. After it won 14 Creative Arts Emmys last weekend, Shogun already broke the record for most wins by a series in a single season and it extended that record last night.
Netflix’s viral hit Baby Reindeer won outstanding limited series or anthology, with creator Richard Gadd taking home trophies for lead actor and writing. His co-star Jessica Gunning, who played his stalker Martha, won supporting actress. Jodie Foster won the first Emmy of her career with her role in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country.
