The Primetime Emmy Awards are finally here. Originally scheduled for September 19, the 75th Anniversary edition was delayed due to the WGA and SAG strikes. Now, after both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards have handed out awards to “Succession,” “The Bear” (granted, for season two), and “Beef,” we’ve had a ceremony that has once again honored, “Succession,” “The Bear” and “Beef” in major categories. And a ceremony that over-scared winners so much there were two awards to hand out over the last 12 minutes of the show.

As expected, “Succession” won the Oustanding Drama Series Emmy as Kieran Culkin took Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Sarah Snook took Lead Actress. Jesse Armstrong took Writing for a Drama Series while Mark Mylod took his first Directing Emmy in the Drama Category also for the landmark HBO program.
In a mild surprise, Quinta Brunson took Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for “Abbott Elementary.” Jeremy Allen White took Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for “The Bear” which also won Outstanding Comedy Series.
Jennifer Coolidge took Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for “The White Lotus.” Matthew Macfadyen took Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for “Succession.” Ayo Edebiri won Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for “The Bear” while her co-star, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, took Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Niecy Nash-Betts won her first Emmy Award on her fifth nomination for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for TV Movie for “Dahlmer.” Paul Walter Hauser won Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie for “Blackbird.”
Ali Wong won Lead Actress while Steven Yeun took Lead Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie for “Beef.” Lee Sung Jin took both Writing and Directing for a Limited Series for his seminal Netflix program which also took the prestigious Limited Series Emmy.
They moved “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” to a different category this year but it still won the Variety Series Emmy. It also won for Writing For A Variety Series. “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” took the inaugural Talk Series award. After losing to Lizzo in 2022, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” returned to the winner’s circle for Reality Competition Series.
Elton John finally reached EGOT after “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” took Outstanding Variety Special.
