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.
