“The Bear,” “Succession,” and “Beef” won multiple accolades at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, which had been delayed since last year because of Hollywood’s actors and writers strikes.
“Succession” and “The Bear” each won six awards, while “Beef” secured five wins.
“Succession,” the HBO series depicting the high-stakes battle for control of a global business empire, clinched the best drama award for its fourth and final season.
Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook both triumphed in the lead categories for their roles in the series, while Matthew Macfadyen won best supporting actor in a drama series for “Succession.”
“I’ll take the love of my fellow cast members, and the writing and the challenges and setting bars high for next projects,” said Ms. Snook, a first-time winner.
“The Bear” took home the award for the best comedy series, with Jeremy Allen White named best comedy actor and his co-stars Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach winning for their supporting roles.
“I am so proud, so full of gratitude, to be standing in front of you all,” Mr. White said at the awards show. “I love the show so much.”
Netflix’s dark comedy series “Beef” won the Emmy for outstanding limited or anthology series, with stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong becoming the first Asian Americans to win in lead categories.
“Wow, thank you. You know, a lot of the suicidal ideation in this show was based on stuff that I and some of the folks up here have struggled with over the years,” creator Lee Sung-jin said in his acceptance speech.
“So I’m really grateful and humbled by everyone who watched the show and reached out about their own personal struggles. It’s very life-affirming, so thank you,” he added.
Quinta Brunson took home the Emmy for best lead actress in a comedy series for her role on “Abbott Elementary”—which she created—making her the first black winner in her category since 1981.
“I love making ‘Abbott Elementary’ so much and I am so happy to be able to live my dream and act out comedy,” Ms. Brunson said.
Other winners included Niecy Nash-Betts, who won best supporting actress for limited series “Dahmer—Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” and Jennifer Coolidge, who was named the best supporting actress in a drama series for “The White Lotus.”
Paul Walter Hauser took home the award for best supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his role in “Black Bird.”
