2024 Emmy Winners

What a night for the Emmys! Dan and Eugene Levy stuck to banter instead of annoying skits, the Emmys honored several archetypes throughout the show as presenters, which was a nice touch, and there were still a few surprises. Below is a list of winners, plus my thoughts. Of the 20 categories I predicted, I got 13 right. 

Outstanding Comedy Series

Abbott Elementary

The Bear

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Hacks

Only Murders in the Building

Palm Royale 

Reservation Dogs

The biggest shock of the night was also the last award announced. After The Bear broke the record for single wins for a comedy, they didn't take home the top prize. Honestly, I'm shocked. Even with the "Bear isn't a comedy" argument, I still thought it would prevail. I can't say I'm too upset because Hacks is an excellent show. But wow, what a surprise. 

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary

Ayo Edebiri, The Bear

Selena Gomez, Only Murders in the Building

Maya Rudolph, Loot

Jean Smart, Hacks

Kristen Wiig, Palm Royale

I thought Ayo was winning, but she's never had to go against Jean Smart, and I forgot to take that into account. Smart wins for the 3rd time for this role, and her acceptance speech was hilarious. 

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Matt Berry, What We Do in the Shadows

Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm

Martin Short, Only Murders in the Building

Steve Martin, Only Murders in the Building

Jeremy Allen White, The Bear

D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Reservation Dogs

Jeremy Allen White wins again. His speech was really endearing, you can tell he loves his cast. 

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy

Lionel Boyce, The Bear

Paul W. Downs, Hacks

Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The Bear

Paul Rudd, Only Murders in the Building

Tyler James Williams, Abbott Elementary

Bowen Yang, Saturday Night Live

Ebon also repeats!

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy

Carol Burnett, Palm Royale

Sheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott Elementary

Hannah Einbinder, Hacks

Janelle James, Abbott Elementary

Liza Colon-Zayas, The Bear

Liza winning this was another surprise. I thought incorrectly this was where The Bear was most vulnerable but she took it home in one of the most gorgeous green dresses of the night! With how dominate Hacks was, I have to guess people aren't voting for Hannah because she really should be in the Lead category, right? 

Outstanding Drama Series

The Crown

Fallout

The Gilded Age

The Morning Show

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Shogun

Slow Horses

3 Body Problem

Shogun remained a big winner and I LOVE that for them. 

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Donald Glover, Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Walton Goggins, Fallout

Gary Oldman, Slow Horses

Hiroyuki Sanada, Shogun

Dominic West, The Crown

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I was so happy with this win! He deserves it. 

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Jennifer Aniston, The Morning Show

Maya Erskine, Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Carrie Coon, The Gilded Age

Anna Sawai, Shogun

Imelda Staunton, The Crown

Reese Witherspoon, The Morning Show

You would've heard me screaming in the distance if she somehow lost this. I've been rooting for her since the minute I saw her in Shogun. Such a deserved win.  

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Billy Crudup, The Morning Show

Tadanobu Asano, Shogun

Mark Duplass, The Morning Show

Jon Hamm, The Morning Show

Takehiro Hira, Shogun

Jack Lowden, Slow Horses

Jonathan Pryce, The Crown

I CAN'T with The Morning Show. Maybe it got better in season 3 but season 2 was such a trash fire. Really bummed Asano couldn't take it here.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Christine Baranski, The Gilded Age

Nicole Beharie, The Morning Show

Elizabeth Debicki, The Crown

Greta Lee, The Morning Show

Lesley Manville, The Crown

Karen Pittman, The Morning Show

Holland Taylor, The Morning Show

Debicki is so tall and lovely. I gave up on the Crown during season 5 but I'm sure she was good in season 6. 

Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series

Baby Reindeer

Fargo

Lessons in Chemistry

Ripley

True Detective: Night Country

I'm so happy for Richard Gadd, every time he got up there, his speeches just got better. Even though I enjoyed watching Fargo more, I can't be mad at this.

Quiz Lady

Red, White, and Royal Blue

Scoop

Unfrosted

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited, Anthology Series or TV Movie

Jodie Foster, True Detective: Night Country

Brie Larson, Lessons in Chemistry

I know everyone loves this win, but it should've been Juno!!!!

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited, Anthology Series or TV Movie

Matt Bomer, Fellow Travelers

Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer

Jon Hamm, Fargo

Tom Hollander, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans

No one was touching Gadd in this, and rightfully so.

Dakota Fanning, Ripley

Lily Gladstone, Under the Bridge

Jessica Gunning, Baby Reindeer

Aja Naomi King, Lessons in Chemistry

Diane Lane, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans

Jonathan Bailey, Fellow Travelers

Robert Downey Jr., The Sympathizer

Tom Goodman-Hill, Baby Reindeer

John Hawkes, True Detective: Night Country

Lamorne Morris, Fargo

Lewis Pullman, Lessons in Chemistry

Treat Williams, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans

I SCREAMED when Lamorne won this! He was my "should win" and I thought he had zero chance of actually breaking through. This win did give me false hope for Juno, because it came earlier in the show, but still. So happy for him.
