The 74th annual Emmy Awards turned out to be a night of few surprises, with wins playing out largely according to predictions — including TheWrap’s own Steve Pond, who guessed last week that there would be no sweeps as the top shows — “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” “Squid Game” and “Abbott Elementary” — all duked it out for dominance.
In the end, it was HBO’s limited series “The White Lotus” that took home the most trophies, five, with three wins going to writer-director-executive-producer Mike White.
“Ted Lasso” won four Emmys, repeating its 2021 triumph in supporting actor (Brett Goldstein), lead actor (Jason Sudeikis) and comedy series — and adding directing for a comedy series (M.J. Delaney). “Succession” took home three statuettes, including Outstanding Drama Series, which it last won in 2020.
Netflix’s megahit from South Korea, “Squid Game,” might have lost best drama series to “Succession,” but it did make history: for director Hwang Dong-hyuk and for Lee Jung-jae, who beat many prognosticators’ favorite, Brian Cox, for lead actor.
Other landmark wins: Zendaya, who is now the youngest person to ever win a lead acting Emmy twice (for “Euphoria”); Sheryl Lee Ralph, from “Abbott Elementary,” the first Black woman to win supporting actress in a comedy in 35 years; and Lizzo, whose competition program, “Lizzo’s Watch Out For the Big Grrrls,” is the first ever show to win that category in its first season. That triumph was one of the few surprises of the night.
Warner Bros. Discovery claimed 40 Emmys in all (including 38 for HBO and HBO Max), besting rival Netflix, which had 26.
