This year’s Primetime Emmy Awards were a long time coming—and they were worth the wait! Monday night’s ceremony was one for the books, and it saw HBO’s Succession and FX’s The Bear walk away with six awards, while Netflix’s Beef was honored with five.

Succession came into the night as the top contender with 14 nods, and it lived up to the hype! In addition to winning the award for outstanding drama series, the final season of HBO’s hit series picked up writing and directing awards for “Connor’s Wedding”, while its stars Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew Macfadyen collected acting prizes.

It was also a big night for the rookie season of the FX culinary dramedy The Bear, which was named the outstanding comedy series. Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ayo Edebiri were honored with acting awards for their respective performances, while Christopher Storer won two more Emmys for directing and writing this show.

Netflix’s Beef was also among the top winners of the night, with five trophies, including outstanding limited or anthology series. Steven Yeun and Ali Wong collected acting awards for leading this series, while Lee Sung Jin won two Emmys as its writer and director.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were held on January 15 in Los Angeles, with Anthony Anderson hosting the show for the first time.
