ANGELES: The restaurant dramedy “The Bear” and the media dynasty thriller “Succession” swept the Emmy Awards on Monday, taking home six medals apiece as Hollywood presented its highest honours for television.
nostalgic Emmy Awards: For its fourth and final season, “Succession,” an HBO series about the high-stakes struggle for control of a multinational business empire, was awarded the esteemed Best Drama prize.
A ceremony that was postponed by four months due to the labour unrest in Hollywood last year saw “The Bear” win best comedy. “Beef,” a road rage drama, won best limited series.
Emmy voters honored several performers and creators of color during a ceremony that unexpectedly took place on the American holiday honoring civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.
For the third time, “Succession” took home the best drama series award.
Creator Jesse Armstrong stated, “It was a great pleasure to do it, but it was a great sadness to end the show.”
Acting awards were given to Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew Macfadyen for their parts in the affluent but unhappy Roy family.
In an emotional speech, Culkin thanked his mother for a wonderful childhood and earned his first Emmy for lead drama actor. He even started crying at one point. That’s when he told his wife he wanted more children.
Addressing his wife Jazz Charton, seated in the crowd, he exclaimed, “You said maybe, if I win!” As Snook, a first-time winner, collected the award for best actress in a drama, she expressed gratitude to Armstrong, her co-stars, and her parents.
“I appreciate that you had a dress-up box when I was a child. This is where it gets you, in my opinion,” Snook remarked.
Jeremy Allen White, who starred in “The Bear,” took home the best comedic actor award, while co-stars Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach took home supporting actress and actor honours for the FX network series’ first season.
“I am so proud, so full of gratitude, to be standing in front of you all,” said White, who plays chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto. “I adore the programme so much.”
The Fox broadcast network aired a live coverage of the top TV awards.
Taking advantage of the occasion, Jennifer Coolidge, who received her second supporting actress award for her role as a deranged vacationer on the short series “The White Lotus,” thanked “all of the evil gays,” a reference to the show’s murderous protagonists.
At the ceremony, several Black actors took home honours.
“Is everyone enjoying themselves at this year’s chocolate Emmys? Tonight is going to be amazing! stated host Anthony Anderson, a former cast member of “Black-ish.”
Edebiri of “The Bear” thanked her family for “letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all of that” while holding her award on stage.
“I’m a winner, baby,” exclaimed a delighted Niecy Nash-Betts, the limited series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” supporting actress winner, as she raised her Emmy trophy in the air.
“I would like to express my gratitude for having faith in me and overcoming their doubts.” Nash said.
Quinta Brunson, who created the television series “Abbott Elementary,” won the best comedic actress award for her portrayal as a positive teacher. As comedy icon Carol Burnett gave her the prize, she started crying.
I’m not sure why I’m feeling this way. “I believe it’s the entirety of Carol Burnett,” Brunson remarked. “To be able to live my dream makes me so happy.”
Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, stars of “Beef,” were among the other winners.
The 75th Emmy Awards this year served as an opportunity for the organisers to honour beloved television series with cast reunions and other special moments.
A choir led by Anderson performed the theme songs from “The Facts of Life” and “Good Times” to open the event. Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182, performed the drum solo from the song “In the Air Tonight,” which aired at a crucial scene in the 1980s hit movie “Miami Vice.”
Grey’s Anatomy actors Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo talked from a stage-mounted hospital room, while Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman and other celebrities from the television series Cheers gathered around a replica of the famous pub set.
