Best and Worst Moments From the Emmys

It was a good night for diversity and kilts, but not so much for shameless ads and … humidity? (Why was everyone so shiny?)

“The Bear,” “Shogun,” “Baby Reindeer” and “Hacks” were the big winners at the 76th Emmy Awards on Sunday, which took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and was hosted by the father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy.

Because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes last year, this was actually the second Emmys ceremony of 2024: The first one took place in January after it was postponed from last September.

With a record-breaking 23 nominations, “The Bear,” from FX, was up for the most awards in the comedy category, of which it won 11. Jean Smart won for her lead role in the HBO show “Hacks,” which upset “The Bear” on Sunday and won for best comedy.

“Shogun,” the FX drama, collected 18 awards, including best drama, between Sunday night’s ceremony and last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys. And “Baby Reindeer” took home six limited series wins, including a best actor statuette for its creator, Richard Gadd.
