‘Ted Lasso,’ ‘Succession’ and Zendaya win big — see the full list
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on NBC brought a few firsts, including its first-ever weeknight broadcast on Monday and with help from first-time host, “Saturday Night Live” funnyman Kenan Thompson.
But before the entertainers took their seats, they strutted their stuff in this season’s hottest fashions on the gold carpet.
“The White Lotus” cast and crew were big winners Monday, sweeping five of five categories for which the show was nominated, including Outstanding Limited Series and Supporting Actress In A Limited Series. Just behind them fell the “Ted Lasso” family, taking home the awards for Outstanding Comedy Series and Lead Actor, and “Succession,” including Outstanding Drama. “Squid Game” and “Abbott Elementary” were also hugely popular throughout the evening. And while HBO’s controversial “Euphoria” wasn’t the night’s biggest hit, the show’s star, Zendaya, showed grace as she accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series. All in all, it’s safe to say it was a competitive year in television.
Meanwhile, fans at home tracked the night’s best and worst moments, which saw a “cringeworthy” opening act of TV-inspired interpretive dance, “Abbott Elementary” star Sheryl Lee Ralph’s moving musical refrain during her very first Emmys acceptance speech and Jennifer Coolidge dance herself off when producers tried to cut her message short, among other hilarious and questionable moments.
One thing viewers didn’t see was a mention of the late Queen Elizabeth II during the In Memorium segment, set to a performance by John Legend — and some have said they “royally messed up.”
However, not all care to watch TV’s biggest night. More than 40% of Americans said in a new poll that the Television Academy’s Emmys are meaningless — and they don’t even care who wins.
But still, millions tuned in — last year for the 2021 Emmy Awards, 7.4 million viewers watched the night unfold — to see which shows and actors are victorious.
