‘The Bear Roars with 4 Emmy Wins as Baby Reindeer Celebrates 4 Triumphs in Limited Series!’

LOS ANGELES — The Emmys returned to their traditional mid-September scheduling after a strike-induced delay in January. This year, FX’s “The Bear” dominated the comedy categories, winning four awards, including best actor for Jeremy Allen White and support for Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas. Colón-Zayas’ win was particularly notable as she became the first Latina to take home this honor. In an emotional acceptance speech, she urged Latinas to continue believing in themselves.

In a different category, Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” garnered acclaim with four wins, including best limited series and best writing for creator Richard Gadd. The show, which draws on Gadd’s personal experiences, resonated deeply with audiences. “Ten years ago, I was down and out,” Gadd said while accepting his award, emphasizing the transformative journey of his life.

The awards ceremony featured celebrated reunions, such as “Happy Days” co-stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler presenting the directing award to Christopher Storer, who also enjoyed success with “The Bear.” Meanwhile, Jean Smart triumphed again for her role in “Hacks,” a nod to her continued dominance in the comedy space.

The competition for the evening included FX’s “Shogun,” which, while anticipated to sweep the night, secured only a single win early on. It still has the opportunity to add more accolades, including best actor and best drama series.

Elizabeth Debicki won for her portrayal of Princess Diana in “The Crown,” acknowledging the privilege of portraying such an iconic figure. In the limited series category, Lamorne Morris took home the award for best supporting actor, surprising many by besting favorites like Robert Downey Jr.

The ceremony was filled with tender moments and humorous nods to iconic TV history, as various awards were presented in themed groups. The night showcased both the old guard and emerging talents, encapsulating the evolving landscape of television.
