Television’s biggest night came and went as the 74th Emmy Awards were unveiled tonight in downtown Los Angeles, hosted by “Saturday Night Live” cast member Kenan Thompson, and aired live on NBC and streaming on Peacock. In one of the most competitive Emmy seasons in recent memory, it was “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” and “The White Lotus” that took home the Television Academy’s top prizes.

In the limited series categories, Mike White‘s HBO miniseries received the most wins on the night, winning five Emmys, including Best Limited Series, Best Supporting Actor for Murray Barlett, Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Coolidge, and White walked away with the honors for writing and directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Michael Keaton (“Dopesick“) and Amanda Seyfried (“The Dropout“) walked away with the Best Actor and Actress prizes, which was no surprise given that they were heavy favorites going into the night.
Over in the comedy categories, the second season of “Ted Lasso” carried over its winning ways from last year, winning four awards on the telecast, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Best Actor for star and co-creator Jason Sudeikis, Best Supporting Actor for Brett Goldstein, as well as directing for a comedy series. And speaking of winners from last year, Jean Smart took home her second straight win for Best Actress for her performance on “Hacks.” The other big winner was ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” which walked away with Best Supporting Actress for veteran actress Sheryl Lee Ralph (who had the speech of the night) and best writing for a comedy series for series creator and star Quinta Brunson.
Lastly, in the drama series categories, Jesse Armstrong‘s stellar drama series “Succession” took him three awards, including Outstanding Drama Series, writing for a drama series, and an upset win in Best Supporting Actor in a Drama series for Matthew Macfadyen. “Squid Game” repeated its showing from the SAG Awards with Lee Jung-jae winning the Best Actor award, as well as the show winning the directing category. Repeat winners were on full display in the Actress categories, with Zendaya winning her second Best Actress Emmy for “Euphoria” and Julia Garner winning her third Supporting Actress Emmy for the final season of “Ozark.”
