EMMYS: Shogun and The Bear Dominate

The Bear, Shogun and Baby Reindeer had big nights at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday.

The Bear went home with 11 trophies, breaking its own record of 10 comedy wins for a single season set last year. Jeremy Allen White (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series​​​​​) took the acting trophies in the comedy category.

Shogun added four more awards to its record-breaking season. With 14 wins at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend, the series has the most wins by a show in a single season. On Sunday it was named Outstanding Drama Series, and Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai walked away with top acting honors in a Drama Series.

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer won outstanding limited series or anthology, with creator Richard Gadd taking home trophies for lead actor and writing. His co-star Jessica Gunning won supporting actress.

Jodie Foster won her first Emmy for her role in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country.

Hacks star Jean Smart won lead actress in a comedy, and in the biggest upset of the night, Hacks won outstanding comedy over The Bear.

Father-and-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy hosted the ceremony.

As they did in the previous ceremony, the ceremony showcased several TV reunions, including West Wing, Saturday Night Live and Happy Days.
