‘Succession’, ‘The Bear’ and ‘Beef’ Dominate the 75th Emmy Awards
The 2024 Emmys saw three shows win the majority of the trophies, while the ceremony itself was a fun, nostalgic affair well hosted by Anthony Anderson.
Preview:
- The 75th Emmy Awards ceremony was broadcast Monday night.
- ‘Succession’, ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’ scooped a lot of awards.
- The show also brought out casts from veteran series.
While there have been a number of award ceremonies (the Directors Guild, the Critics Choice Association) that feature television among their trophies, Monday night was the big one for TV –– the 75th Emmys. Delayed from September last year (so these are technically the 2023 Emmys), they were finally handed out Monday night.
In the lead up to the award, there were questions as to whether there would be a lot of repeat winners, including ‘Ted Lasso’, which has done well in recent years, and whether that, along with ‘Succession’, would benefit from voters looking to reward them for their final seasons (neither show, let’s be honest has needed it, but the fact remains).
‘Succession’ once again dominated, along with ‘Beef’ (in limited series categories) and ‘The Bear’, the three shows winning multiple awards, to no-one’s surprise.
Anthony Anderson proved to be an engaged and entertaining host, kicking things off with a tribute to the television he loved growing up and popping up to move things along from time to time (at one point donning an ‘American Horror Story’ gimp suit), with his mother, Doris, acting as a human alternative to play off music (also used judiciously so the joke never wore thin).
The speeches, for the most part, were short and sweet. And in a presenting moment, Pedro Pascal continued the comedy feud with ‘Succession’s Kieran Culkin (who had told his category competitor to “suck it” while accepting the Golden Globe), blaming Culkin for his recent shoulder injury in a sweary moment that the broadcast muted.
Aside from the awards, the show looked to generate buzz by reuniting the casts of some classic and iconic shows including ‘Cheers’, ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, the latter an odd once since it’s still on the air (but everyone still thinks of the original lineup).
Those were much more of a mixed bag –– the ‘Cheers’ gang were game and warm, but does it really count as a ‘Game of Thrones’ reunion when it’s just Peter Dinklage?
