Find out if your favorite TV show took home gold this year.
The Emmys Awards came around again last night — and unlike 2021’s (theoretically) socially-distanced affair, the celebrations looked reassuringly normal.
Host Kenan Thompson promised a conflict-free zone (unlike this year’s Acadamy Awards, which featured that infamous slap), and he delivered. He kicked off the evening with dances to remixed theme songs from classic shows like Friends, Stranger Things, and Law and Order, and steered a pacey show focused on the evening’s actual winners.
Notable mentions include Abbott Elementary’s Sheryl Lee Ralph, who won her first Emmy for best supporting actress, and became just the second Black woman ever to take home the award. Quinta Brunson, who also stars in the series as teacher Janine Teagues, took home the Emmy for best writer — becoming the first Black woman to receive three nominations in the comedy categories in one year. Lee Jung-jae of Squid Game meanwhile became the first person from a foreign language show to win best actor in a drama.
Predictably, Succession won the award for best drama series — and creator Jesse Armstrong couldn’t resist a dig at the British monarchy during his acceptance speech.
“A bit more voting involved in our winning than Prince Charles,” he quipped.
