Hollywood gathered to honor TV’s biggest stars for the second time this year.
After the 2023 ceremony was delayed to January 2024 by last year’s Hollywood strikes, it’s only been eight months since the small screen's biggest stars gathered at Los Angeles’ LA Live Peacock Theatre to for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.
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” broke its own record of 10 comedy wins for a single season, which it achieved last year, with its 11 trophies on Sunday, including directing for Christopher Storer.
FX also had a big night with “Shogun,” which won outstanding drama, lead actor for Hiroyuki Sanada, actress for Anna Sawai and directing for Frederick E.O. Toye.
After it won 14 Creative Arts Emmys last weekend, “Shogun” already broke the record for most wins by a show in a single season. It extended that record to 18 on Sunday.
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 starring turn in HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.”
Eugene and Dan Levy, the “Schitt’s Creek” stars, Emmy winners and father-and-son duo, hosted the annual ceremony.
Like the previous ceremony, the telecast showcased several TV reunions and pairings from famous TV dads, doctors, villains and more. “West Wing” stars Martin Sheen, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Allison Janney reunited on stage in honor of the show’s 25th anniversary. Multi-generational “Saturday Night Live” stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers and Bowen Yang also took the stage to honor the show’s 50th season – and to roast Lorne Michaels’ 85 Emmy losses.
“Happy Days” also hit its 50th anniversary, with Henry Winkler and Ron Howard appearing onstage in a recreation of the show’s set.
Famous TV dads, like George Lopez, Damon Wayans and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, gathered together to present a category, as did iconic moms, Connie Britton, Meredith Baxter and Susan Kelechi Watson; villains Antony Starr, Giancarlo Esposito and Kathy Bates; doctors like Mindy Kaling, Zach Braff and Mekhi Phifer; and many more.
