Went to bed before the Emmy Awards results were announced? Here’s who took home the trophies. Last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes made this Emmy Awards ceremony the second of 2024. This time around, a lot of familiar faces took the stage to claim their spot as Hollywood’s creme de la creme.

Nominations were monopolized. The Bear cast and crew attended the ceremony with 23 nominations under their belt, but only took home four trophies from the comedy series categories: Best lead actor (Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto), best supporting actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, deservedly for fan favorite cousin Richie), best supporting actress (Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina Marrero), and best director for a comedy series, for Christopher Storer’s work on the sixth episode of season two. But it was Hacks that took home the title for best comedy series.
Shōgun raked up the most nominations across the board with 25. The breakthrough show was named best drama, and Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai took home awards for best actor and best actress for their portrayal of Lord Yoshii Toranaga and Toda Mariko. The show made history for most Emmy victories for any one season, earning 15 more trophies by the end of the night in creative categories.
Honorable mentions: Baby Reindeer nabbed four limited series awards for best series, best supporting actress, best actor, and best writing. Steven Zaillian was named best director for a limited series for his work on Ripley, and Lamorne Morris of New Girl fame took home the trophy for best supporting actor in a limited series for his portrayal of Whitley Farr on Fargo. Will Smith (not that Will Smith) earned a nod for his writing on Slow Horses. Blue Eye Samurai beat out the popular X-Men ‘97 for best animated program.
