The 76th Emmy Awards have wrapped up today, just 7 months after the 75th awards took place in January following a four-month postponement due to the Hollywood strikes.
As expected,The Bear dominated in the comedy categories, with Jeremy Allen White taking out Outstanding Actor for the second time, Ebon Moss-Bachrach winning Outstanding Supporting Actor, and Liza Colon-Zayas awarded Outstanding Supporting Actress.
But it was FX’s Shōgun that set an Emmys record on the night, having won 18 awards with just one season of the show - four on the night, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for New Zealand-born Japanese actress Anna Sawai, and 14 at the Creative Arts Emmys last week.
Outstanding Actor in a Drama went to Sawai’s castmate Hiroyuki Sanada, beating the likes of Idris Elba, Donald Glover, Walton Goggins, Dominic West and Gary Oldman. Both Sanada and Sawai are the first Japanese actors to win in their respective categories.
In an upset for The Bear, Hacks won Outstanding Comedy Series, while Netflix’s Baby Reindeer cleaned up the Limited Series category, including two awards for the show’s creator and lead actor Richard Gadd.
Elsewhere, two Kiwi-created shows missed out. Both Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s TV show What We Do in the Shadowsand Waititi and Sterlin Harjo’s Reservation Dogs were nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series, but ultimately lost out to Hacks.
The ceremony, hosted by Schitt’s Creek co-stars - and real-life father-and-son duo - Eugene and Dan Levy, saw a few other first-time Emmys handed out.
Richard Gadd was incredulous as he was awarded three Emmys for best limited series, acting, and writing on Baby Reindeer, after his co-star Jessica Gunning was awarded Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.
Jodie Foster won her first-ever Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series for her role in True Detective: Night Country. Elizabeth Debicki’s award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Princess Diana also marked a first-time Emmy for The Crown star.
