‘Succession,’ ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’ win big at the Emmys
LA TimesThe cast and crew of “The Bear” accept the award for Outstanding Comedy Series onstage during the 75th Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theatre at L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Jan. 15, 2024. As many predicted, HBO’s “Succession,” which led the pack with 27 nominations for its acclaimed final season, was among the night’s biggest winners, earning the award for best drama series along with trophies for lead actress Sarah Snook, lead actor Kieran Culkin, supporting drama actor Matthew Macfadyen and writer Jeremy Armstrong. Probably not a dream to immigrate to this country and have your child be like, ‘I want to do improv,’ but you’re real ones.” Netflix’s road-rage drama “Beef” also had a big night in the limited or anthology series categories, winning best series, lead actor, lead actress and writing and directing. “Simply put, television has shaped the world and more importantly, it’s shaped me.” Scrambling the usual awards calendar, the strike pushed the Emmys somewhat awkwardly into the heart of the movie industry’s Oscar season. “And it truly warms my heart to see how well men are doing in comedy.” In one of the night’s emotional high points — and one of its relatively few politically charged acceptance speeches — Niecy Nash-Betts brought down the house when she accepted her award for supporting actress in a limited series for Netflix’s “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” marking her first prime-time Emmy.
