"Hacks," "The Bear," "Shōgun," and "Baby Reindeer" Win Big at Emmys
We are so proud that Netflix's "Ripley," which used our stages for reshoots, won awards for its cinematography, sound editing, special visual effects, and directing for Steven Zaillian at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Congratulations to all involved in earning these awards!
The Awards included some surprise winners in the major categories. To no one's surprise, the FX original dramedy "The Bear" won most of the major acting categories for a comedy series. Jeremy Allen White took home the prize for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series twice this calendar year due to the 75th ceremony occurring in January. His co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach accomplished the same feat in the category Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Liza Colón-Zayas, who plays sous chef Tina, won her first Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. The show also won Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series, and Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis won awards for their guest appearances in the second season.
"The Bear" came into the night with 23 nominations, the most ever for a comedy series, and ended up setting a new record for a comedy series with 11 wins. However, the critical darling did not win the night's top prize. That went to HBO Max's original comedy "Hacks," earning its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. Series star Jean Smart won her third Emmy in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work as the aging stand-up comedian Deborah Vance. Smart also has three additional Emmys for her work on "Frasier" and "Samantha Who?" Writers Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky took home statuettes in the category Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for the third season finale titled "Bulletproof."
Hulu comedy "Only Murders in the Building" was shut out on Sunday night despite earning 21 nods for its third season. The popular series did win several awards a week earlier at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
In the drama field, FX's "Shōgun" entered the night with 25 nominations for its first season and won 18 awards, setting a record for a single season of a series. The historical drama nearly swept the technical awards and also won Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series, and individual awards for lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada, lead actress Anna Sawai, and guest star Nestor Carbonell. "Shōgun" did not win in the supporting acting categories, as Elizabeth Debicki won her first Emmy for her performance as Princess Di on Netflix's "The Crown" and Billy Crudup won his second for his work on the Apple TV+ series "The Morning Show."
In the limited series and TV movie categories, Netflix's "Baby Reindeer" dominated the field. The drama thriller won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for series creator and star Richard Gadd, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Jessica Gunning, and Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Gadd. It also won Outstanding Casting for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
