'Succession,' 'The Bear,' 'BEEF' Sweep 75th Annual Primetime Emmys

Other winners include newly minted EGOT status-holder Elton John, Jennifer Coolidge and John Oliver

BY Megan LaPierrePublished Jan 16, 2024

Last night (January 15), the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards finally took place — four months after they were originally scheduled to be presented. The ceremony was held at Los Angeles's Peacock Theater and hosted by former Black-ish star Anthony Anderson.

In addition to Elton John rocketing to EGOT status, the night's big winners were, unsurprisingly, Succession and The Bear, which garnered six awards each. They both essentially dominated the Drama and Comedy Series categories, respectively, reminding us that we are in fact still calling The Bear a comedy (even after that "Fishes" episode). Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen all took home acting awards for their work in the beloved shows.

With a similar hold on the Limited or Anthology Series bracket, BEEF followed closely with five wins, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won two in the Variety Series category. Jennifer Coolidge won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her iconic role in The White Lotus, which kind of makes me want a hot dog real bad.
