In a night filled with triumph and surprises, FX and Hulu’s The Bear claimed the spotlight at the 75th Emmy Awards on Monday, securing the award for Best Comedy for its debut season.
The acclaimed series, chronicling the portraying an eccentric Chicago-based restaurant staff, claimed five awards for its debut season. The show’s creator, Christopher Storer, walked away with Emmys for Best Comedy Writing and Directing.
While The Bear celebrated its comedic victories, HBO’s Succession chronicling the tumultuous world of a feuding media dynasty, not only took the top honor for the third time but also dominated major acting categories.
Several newcomers also had their moment in the spotlight. Jeremy Allen White, the high-strung lead chef in The Bear, won his first Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy, while Quinta Brunson, creator of the ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary, made history as the first Black woman to win Best Actress in a Comedy since 1981.
Netflix’s Beef had a notable night, securing Best Limited Series, with Lee Sung Jin winning for writing and direction. Additionally, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong claimed acting honors. The three standout shows of the evening, Succession, The Bear, and Beef, each secured multiple awards, with Succession and The Bear winning six Emmys, and Beef winning five.
The 2024 Emmys, originally postponed due to screenwriter and actor strikes, marked a departure from tradition, taking place in mid-January. This unique timing placed the ceremony amid Hollywood’s busy awards show season. Despite the challenges, the Emmys showcased outstanding talent and recognized new achievements in television.
Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the ceremony faced tough competition, going head-to-head with an NFL playoff game and live results from the Iowa caucuses. While the 2022 Emmys drew a record-low of 5.9 million viewers, this year’s viewership remains uncertain, with the potential for a smaller audience due to the unique circumstances surrounding the awards season
