The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday, recognizing the best in television. The big night saw surprises, emotional speeches, and unforgettable moments. With some of the most talented actors and series in the running, it was a close competition. Fans tuned in with high anticipation as the stars of television gathered to celebrate the year’s finest shows.
Among the most notable wins was Baby Reindeer, which secured the award for Outstanding Limited Series. The series, which had been receiving praise throughout the year, managed to edge out tough competition like Ripley and Fargo. The victory of Baby Reindeer was met with cheers from the audience, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
In the drama categories, The Crown stood out, continuing its reign as one of the most celebrated shows. Although the show faced stiff competition from titles like Slow Horses and The Gilded Age, its win in the Outstanding Drama Series category reaffirmed its popularity. Dominic West, who portrayed Prince Charles, received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, but the award ultimately went to Billy Crudup from The Morning Show, a shocking moment that created a buzz in the room.
In the comedy section, The Bear had an excellent night. Liza Colón-Zayas walked away with the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award, and Jeremy Allen White took home the prize for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Their performances captivated audiences and solidified the show as one of the year’s top comedies. White’s portrayal of a young chef trying to save his family’s restaurant resonated with many viewers, and his win felt well-deserved.
Jean Smart’s victory in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category for Hacks was also a high point of the night. Although many believed it would be a close call with other favorites like Selena Gomez from Only Murders in the Building, Smart’s impeccable performance won over the judges once again. The star, who has been a favorite in recent years, thanked her cast, crew, and fans for the support.
In limited series acting categories, Richard Gadd’s performance in Baby Reindeer earned him the title of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie, an expected win given the critical acclaim he had received. On the actress side, Jodie Foster claimed the Outstanding Lead Actress award for her role in True Detective: Night Country, defeating other high-profile nominees like Brie Larson and Naomi Watts.
The Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie award went to Lamorne Morris for his performance in Fargo, marking one of the night’s few wins for the iconic series. Jessica Gunning from Baby Reindeer also made headlines after taking home the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie award, adding to the show’s sweeping success.
One of the highlights in the variety show categories came when Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won Outstanding Scripted Variety Series. It wasn’t entirely unexpected, as Oliver’s show has been a regular favorite in this category for several years. Meanwhile, The Daily Show took home the award for Outstanding Talk Series, continuing its legacy of insightful and hilarious commentary.
Reality TV fans were also treated to a big moment when The Traitors took home the award for Outstanding Reality/Competition Series, beating out popular shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race and Top Chef. The victory for The Traitors marked a shift in audience preferences, highlighting the increasing popularity of psychological competition-based reality shows.
The night was filled with glitz, glamour, and excitement as television’s brightest stars celebrated their achievements.
