Television’s biggest has come and gone. With Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson as our emcee, as the program sought to further improve its ratings as it returns to pre-pandemic form.
And, generally, it did feel like a return to form. There were no slaps to be had, only slightly-cringy choreographed openings and the most tepid of edgy jokes. HBO’s Succession topped the nominations with 25 award nods, picking up three, including Outstanding Drama Series. Nearly every lead cast member was up for an award, including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, J. Smith Cameron, and Nicholas Braun, while Matthew Macfadyen took home Emmy gold for his portrayal of Tom Wambsgans. The drama still faced tough competition this year from Netflix’s Squid Game, which upset the HBO darling in more than one category.
In the comedy category, Ted Lasso largely came out on top, while newcomer sitcom Abbott Elementary managed to take home a couple of awards, reminding everyone that network TV still exists and can, in fact, be pretty great. When it comes to the limited series category, HBO’s The White Lotus cleaned house against (almost) everything Hulu had, including Dopesick, The Dropout, and Pam & Tommy.
You can take a look at our predictions here to see just how well we did this time around and read our recap of the show itself here.
