The Best — and Most Shocking — Moments at the 2024 Emmy Awards

Sunday night’s 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, broadcast live on ABC, concluded with a surprising twist that left viewers talking: “Hacks” clinched the Best Comedy Series award over the favored “The Bear,” which was expected to repeat its win from earlier this year.

This year’s ceremony was the second Emmy event of 2024, following the 75th edition held in January after delays due to last year's Hollywood strikes. Consequently, "The Bear" stars Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach won accolades for different seasons just eight months apart.

The drama categories diverged from the expected. With HBO's "Succession" absent from the competition, FX’s "Shogun" seized the spotlight. The critically acclaimed historical drama dominated, winning Best Drama Series along with Lead Actor for Hiroyuki Sanada and Lead Actress for Anna Sawai. Sawai made history as the first Asian performer to win Lead Actress. Including Creative Arts Emmys, "Shogun" amassed a total of 18 awards, setting a new record for the most wins by a single season of television.

In the realm of limited series, Netflix's psychological thriller “Baby Reindeer” made a significant impact, securing six Emmys, including Best Limited Series. Richard Gadd, who starred and wrote the series, won Best Actor for his portrayal of Donny, while Jessica Gunning took home Best Supporting Actress for her role as Martha. Gadd reflected on Hollywood’s resurgence post-strike, emphasizing that "Baby Reindeer" proved a show could succeed without established stars or existing intellectual property.

Political undertones and nostalgic tributes punctuated the evening. Presenters and winners subtly referenced the upcoming presidential election, adding a layer of relevance to the proceedings. Candice Bergen, presenting the Best Actress in a Comedy Series award, joked about past political critiques of her role in “Murphy Brown,” while “The Bear” actress Liza Colón-Zayas encouraged Latinas to vote for their rights.

John Leguizamo used his platform to address the lack of authentic Latino representation in Hollywood, rebranding the term DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) as “Diligence, Excellence, and Imagination.” He spotlighted the progress made but called for further improvements in diversity.

Greg Berlanti was honored with the Governors Award for his career achievements. Known for shows like "Arrow" and "The Flash," Berlanti recalled television's role in his life, particularly its comfort during his youth. He acknowledged his late mother’s support and underscored the importance of telling diverse and inclusive stories.

The Emmys also celebrated TV parents with a nostalgic nod. Iconic TV dads, including George Lopez, Damon Wayans, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, reunited on stage. Similarly, TV moms Meredith Baxter, Connie Britton, and Susan Kelechi Watson highlighted the evolving roles of women on television, reflecting on progress since the days of restrictive portrayals.

John Oliver made a memorable acceptance speech for Best Scripted Variety Show, paying tribute to his late dog, who had been a beloved part of his family. Oliver’s heartfelt remarks about his pet, despite the play-off music, struck a chord with many.

Lastly, “The Traitors” emerged as a standout in reality TV, winning Best Reality Competition Series and breaking “RuPaul’s Drag Race” eight-year streak. The show, set in a Scottish castle and hosted by Alan Cumming, impressed with its high-stakes, campy drama, capturing the essence of competitive reality television.

Overall, the 2024 Emmys blended moments of surprise with celebrations of television’s past and present, showcasing both the familiar and the groundbreaking in the world of entertainment.

“I’ve found that when shit goes down, crazy people often handle it very well, because the world is finally conforming to their worldview. Instead of freaking out,”

Masterclass! I’ve had many stimulating, fascinating, brilliant, talented, fun guests. None more so than writer, director, and producer, Marshall Herskovitz. There’s a reason this human has won more Emmy, Golden Globe, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, Peabody, and Humanitas Awards than I can count… not to mention an Academy Award nomination. Wow, just wow! You don’t get all those awards for writing, creating, and making great television and movies without being a great storyteller, and boy is Marshall that! From his eighth-grade short story to his first attempt at filmmaking, AFI––miracle-ing his way in, meeting Ed Zwick the very first day––a partnership that would change both their lives and all of ours… Snuffy’s specifically and significantly. We talked thirtysomething from throw-away lack of interest to the cataclysmic creative shift in what was possible on series TV. From Day 1 to the present commitment to the reboot usurped by the pandemic. Marshall and Ed are still passionately committed to seeing it through to air and I don’t doubt with these two at the helm it will come to pass. Marshall talked about My So-Called Life, Claire Danes, Special Bulletin, and the NBC backlash on his Emmy-winning debut, Jack the Bear, Dangerous Beauty, The Last Samurai, and Tom Cruise––wonderful inside scoop there. Likewise, DiCaprio and Blood Diamond. We talked Marshall’s environmental activism and seemingly sensible solution and concluded with the political race and what 2024 may hold. 

A rare guest I didn’t know going in, Marshall quickly felt like a dear treasured friend. The conversation was effortless, exciting, insightful, and inspiring. Loved it!Can’t wait for more… on and off the screen.

Bruce Vilanch Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

We were Live with 6x Emmy Winner, Bruce Vilanch, even though he only stakes genuine claim to 2 of them, he’s got 6. Well, he was awarded 6, he gave one to his mother, one to his manager, one to his business manager, and he’s got 2 in his possession. They all still count, Bruce. And they’re all deserved. This human has brought so much joy, and so much laughter to audiences around the globe for decades. 

Bruce has written for 24 Oscar broadcasts, was head writer for 14 of them, and collaborated with hosts such as Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, and Billy Crystal, we talked about all of those: fun with Whoopi, outsider Dave, magic with Billy, and the infamous Rob Lowe/ Snow White monologue, difficult Ellen, no surprise there, wildness with Jack Palance, apologies from James Franco, great stories, all! 

We talked the Hollywood Squares, which brought Bruce front and center - put him on camera, made him a celebrity, helped him land Hairspray and his star turn as Edna Turnblat on Broadway… how the show worked, great tales about Little Richard, Garth Brooks having the funny, Whoopi, again, John Davidson hosting and the adlib that brought the house down, or was it? 

Starting as a child actor, always funny, writing the funny for the Chicago Tribune, meeting Bette Midler, a relationship that has spanned 55 years and has been a game and life changer. Writing for Joan Rivers, Lily Tomlin, Robin Williams, Roseanne, Nathan Lane, and pretty much everyone else in Hollywood. 

The pandemic kept Bruce busy - his book, It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time, drops March 4th and is available for pre-order now https://www.amazon.com/Seemed-Like-Bad-Idea-Time/dp/0914091921 he wrote the book for the Dolly Parton musical, Here You Come Again, which has enjoyed successful runs across the states and is currently readying a run in London’s West End. Bruce is featured in Studio One Forever, about America’s first iconic gay disco, streaming now on Prime. 

Bruce is everywhere and has done everything. Indefatigable and talented beyond compare, Bruce can get inside the head of just about anyone - be them and make them funny. Funnier. What a gift. He’s a treasure. I adore him and I’m damn grateful he never stops working. Do us all a continued favor, Bruce, stay busy!
