‘Baby Reindeer,’ ‘Shōgun,’ and ‘The Bear’ sweep the 2024 Emmys, but let’s not forget the real shock of the night

The 2024 Emmy Awards have come and gone, and oh, were they a sight to behold.

If you’re still having a serious case of déjà vu, don’t worry ⏤ you’re not alone. After 2023’s broadcast was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes, this was technically the second Emmy ceremony of 2024, meaning most viewers experienced waves of didn’t we just see that show win an Emmy? Many of the familiar players from January’s ceremony ⏤ including The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary, and The Crown ⏤ were back for more in the Sept. 15 broadcast, but this time they were joined by some of 2024’s biggest breakout hits. Shōgun entered the ceremony as the leader of the pack and an early record-breaker after taking home a whopping 14 statues at the Creative Arts Emmys ⏤ the most Emmys for any single season of a show. The Bear, somehow still nominated as a Comedy, was expected to perform a similar sweep after already racking up 17 awards since its earth-shattering debut. And it came as no surprise to anyone who watched it that Baby Reindeer was a frontrunner in the Limited or Anthology Series category.

Hosted by our favorite father-son duo, the 2024 Emmys showed some major love to the expected faves while also spreading the wealth to a number of deserving first-time winners. Here’s the complete list of winners as well as some of the best red carpet looks and standout moments.

The best Emmy moments

One of the biggest topics of conversation at the 2024 Emmys was why The Bear keeps being categorized as a comedy. The show is universally adored, but it’s also starting to get on people’s nerves as it continues its winning streak, plucking Emmy gold from other deserving comedic performers. Even hosts Eugene and Dan Levy didn’t shy away from addressing the dramatic elephant in the room.

Meanwhile, about Tyler James Williams’ arms…

Picking up her first Emmy for The Bear ⏤ and becoming the first Latina actress to win in the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category ⏤ Liza Colón-Zayas got political for a second.

Then Candice Bergen stopped by to remind viewers how little has changed in the world since she first played Murphy Brown.

Jessica Gunning won her first Emmy for Baby Reindeer and it was as if you could hear fans all over the world leap to their feet as somewhere in a dimly-lit bar, Fiona Harvey grumbled.

We were given the villain crossover we didn’t know we needed…

And then oops, John Oliver had an unexpected Sarah McLachlan moment.

For anyone wondering why D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai had a red handprint over his mouth:

Meanwhile, some of the presenters were slightly lacking in the personality department, but at least they weren’t bad to look at.

Richard Gadd made tears fall during his speech for Best Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

And moments later, after receiving the Governor’s Award, Greg Berlanti did the same thing.

Jelly Roll clearly got the memo, too, because the kept the tears falling through the “In Memoriam” segment.

Shōgun experienced an even more historic night, as it took home awards for Best Actor, Actress, and Drama Series.

And finally, TV’s favorite comedic family gathered to remind us just how much we miss Schitt’s Creek (and Catherine O’Hara’s Moira accent).

The 2024 Emmys’ best dressed, assemble!

And the winners are…

While some of the night’s biggest winners were given their awards at the Creative Arts Emmys a few weeks ago, the remaining awards were handed out live at the official Emmy ceremony. The first winner of the night was Ebon Moss-Bachrach for The Bear, marking his second Emmy win for the role of Cousin, and he was closely followed by Billy Crudup for The Morning Show. Absolutely no one was surprised when Jeremy Allen White won his second award in a row for The Bear, since anytime he’s nominated for playing Carmy Berzatto, he tends to end up with a gold statue in his hand. Continuing The Bear’s winning streak, Liza Colón-Zayas picked up her first Emmy for her role as Tina, beating out Hannah Einbinder, who this author was personally expecting to take home gold for her magnificent work in the Hacks season 3 finale. Thankfully for Hacks fans everywhere, Jean Smart took home her third straight Emmy for her incomparable work as Deborah Vance!

Baby Reindeer fans got their first moment of victory when Jessica Gunning won her first Emmy for her mesmerizing (and terrifying) performance as wacky stalker Martha. Hacks received more love when showrunners and co-writers Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky won Best Writing for a Comedy Series and naturally it was only a matter of time before John Oliver won his 1,000,000th Emmy for Scripted Variety Series. Richard Gadd’s win for Best Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie made viewers wonder if he was going to take home an award for Acting as well, which he did! Eyes became even mistier when Greg Berlanti received the Governor’s Award for his extraordinary contributions to television over the course of his career followed by Jelly Roll bringing down the house with his performance of “I Am Not Okay” during the “In Memoriam” segment. We then entered the Shōgun portion of our programming, wherein the two top acting wins for Drama went to Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai. The biggest surprise of the night, however, came when the final award for Best Comedy was not given to The Bear, but to Hacks!
