76th Primetime Emmy Awards Full Winners’ List: Shōgun, the Bear and Baby Reindeer Take Home Maximum Awards
The best of American television was celebrated at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony on Sunday evening at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Awards were handed out to the most loved shows and artists across categories in acting, writing, direction and others.
The ceremony was dominated by FX’s period drama Shōgun, where an English warrior becomes a Samurai in feudal Japan. The series won maximum number of awards across four major categories, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series — making Hiroyuki Sanada as the first Japanese actor to win in the category. Shōgun’s total 18 Emmy wins, which includes 14 wins at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards from earlier this month, are also the most for a single season in Emmy history.
Jeremy Allen White’s three-season-old The Bear lost out in the Outstanding Comedy Series category, but still ended up with four major wins, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, rounding up total wins across 11 categories.
The Bear was also replaced by Max network’s Hacks in two categories that it topped last time around: Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series — making Jean Smart a third-time winner in the category for the same show.
Nevertheless, the show has created history by winning the most ever Emmys for a comedy series in a single year. That’d be a total of 21 Emmy wins, including 11 this time and 10 at 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place earlier this year. The historic win is somewhat credited to the Hollywood actors and writers’ strikes, which pushed the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards from September last year to January this year.
The third highlight of the evening was the British dark comedy limited series Baby Reindeer, which also won four Emmys (with total six wins) across major categories, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. The show follows a struggling comedian being stalked by an admirer. The seven-episode-long Netflix original is based on lead actor and creator Richard Gadd’s real-life experiences with stalking and sexual abuse.
Among repeat winners of the ceremony were HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (Outstanding Scripted Variety Series) and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show (Outstanding Talk Series), both of which present news with a satirical twist.
Other winning programmes include The Morning Show, The Crown, The Traitors, Ripley, Fargo, Slow Horses, True Detective: Night Country, and Alex Edelman: Just For Us.
Greg Berlanti, the acclaimed American screenwriter, producer and director, was facilitated with the Governor’s Award for his valuable contributions to the industry. Some of his famous works include You, The Riverdale, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, besides his stellar contribution to the television adaptations of DC Comics universe.
With that, here is the complete list of all the shows that bagged a Primetime Emmy this year across various categories.
