Television’s biggest night returned to Los Angles to honor some of the best shows of the past year, and it was one for the books! The White Lotus was the biggest winner at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards with five trophies, closely followed by Ted Lasso and Succession.
Mike White’s anthology series created quite a splash when it premiered on HBO last summer, and it was the expected winner of the award for outstanding limited series. The White Lotus also collected trophies for outstanding supporting actor and actress (Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge) and writing and directing for a limited series (Mike White).
Ted Lasso was the biggest winner in the comedy categories last year, and it replicated its success for the second time. It won a total of four Primetime Emmys—outstanding comedy series, outstanding lead and supporting actor in a comedy series (Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein), and outstanding directing for a comedy series (MJ Delane).
As for Succession, HBO’s satirical drama won its second Emmy for outstanding drama series. It came out victorious in two more categories—outstanding supporting actor in a drama series (Matthew Macfadyen), and outstanding writing for a drama series (Jesse Armstrong).
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 12, with SNL’s Kenan Thompson serving as the first-time host.
