Succession, Beef, and The Bear were the big winners at the Emmy Awards 2024, which took place on Monday in Los Angeles.
Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew Macfadyen took home acting prizes for Succession, while the show also won the best drama series overall.
Also at the ceremony, Sir Elton John won his first Emmy Award, finally giving him EGOT status. That means he has joined an exclusive club of performers who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award.
The Bear won three acting prizes, for its star Jeremy Allen White, and supporting actors Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Edebiri told the audience she was “so incredibly grateful for so many reasons”.
“This is a show about found family and real family, and my parents are here tonight – thank you so much for loving me and letting me feel beautiful and black and proud of all that,” she said.
While Succession and The Bear won six prizes each in the drama and comedy categories respectively, Netflix’s road rage-inspired series Beef dominated the limited series categories.
The Emmy Awards 2024, hosted by actor and comedian Anthony Anderson, was delayed for four months due to the Hollywood strikes.
Nominations were announced in July and the ceremony was originally scheduled for September 18th, but the writers’ and actors’ strikes meant very few nominees would have been able to attend.
