Emmys: FX Has Big Emmys Night With Multiple Wins for ‘The Bear,’ ‘Shōgun’
‘Hacks’ pulls upset win for best comedy series; ‘Baby Reindeer’ wins as outstanding limited series
FX had a big night at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday as two of its shows — Shōgun and The Bear — tallied multiple wins in major categories.
Freshman historical drama series Shōgun won four Primetime Emmys and a record 18 combined Emmy Creative Arts and Primetime awards, including best drama series, the Television Academy said. Hiroyuki Sanada won Best Actor in a Drama Series for Shōgun and Anna Sawai took home Best Actress in a Drama Series.
The Bear won the second-most combined Emmys this year with 11, besting its own record of 10 Emmy wins for a comedy series set last year. The show’s four Primetime Emmy Awards included Jeremy Allen White's repeat win for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Liza Colón-Zayas’ win as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
HBO’s Hacks upset The Bear in the best comedy series category, one of three Emmy Award wins for the series. Hacks star Jean Smart also won the Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, marking her third win in the category over the last four years.
Other big award winners include Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, which drew four Primetime Emmy wins, including best limited or anthology series.
HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver won its second straight Emmy for outstanding scripted variety series, while Peacock’s The Traitors took home top honors in the best reality competition show category.
Eugene and Dan Levy hosted ABC’s Primetime Emmys telecast, the second Emmy Awards ceremony to be held in 2024. The 75th annual Emmy Awards aired this past January due to delays brought on by the writers’ and actors’ strikes.
