The 2023 Emmy Awards showcased a triumphant night for three outstanding shows – 'Succession,' 'The Bear,' and 'Beef' – as they nearly swept their respective categories in drama, comedy, and limited series races.
In a remarkable performance, 'Succession' and 'The Bear' tied for the lead with six wins each, closely followed by 'Beef' with five awards, as reported by 'Variety.'
Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the 75th Emmy Awards featured numerous tributes to both past and present hit shows. The night brought together casts from iconic series like 'Cheers,' 'The Sopranos,' 'Ally McBeal,' and 'Martin,' while former members of shows such as 'Grey's Anatomy' and the perennially Emmy-ignored comedy 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' graced the stage as presenters.
According to 'Variety,' 'Succession' claimed the title of Outstanding Drama Series, with individual awards going to Kieran Culkin (Lead Actor in a Drama), Sarah Snook (Lead Actress in a Drama), and Matthew Macfadyen (Supporting Actor in a Drama). The show's writer and creator, Jesse Armstrong, and director Mark Mylod also secured wins for the 'Connor’s Wedding' episode, which featured the demise of Waystar Royco CEO Logan Roy.
'The Bear' triumphed as Outstanding Comedy for its first season, with Jeremy Allen White (Lead Actor in a Comedy), Ayo Edebiri (Lead Actress in a Comedy), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Supporting Actor in a Comedy) all receiving awards. The show's creator, Christopher Storer, earned accolades for both writing and directing.
Meanwhile, 'Beef' secured the title of Outstanding Limited Series, and its stars Steven Yeun (Lead Actor) and Ali Wong (Lead Actress) received individual awards. Additionally, the show's creator, Lee Sung Jin, was honored for both writing and directing.
