Biggest Moments from the 2024 Emmy Awards

Television’s golden night. Lara is here with the big moments from the Emmys. So many special moments from last night.

It was a really special night, Robin. Good morning to you. The 2023 Emmys were delayed by the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes, but they were well worth the wait. The show was packed with reunions and funny moments, and a final goodbye to one of the big winners of the night, Succession.

Television’s biggest night, finally Back for its 75th anniversary.

Hello friends, and welcome to our Emmys neighborhood.

The Emmys saying, “Yes, chef,” to the Bear, the FX and Hulu series sweeping all of its categories in its first year of competition, with six Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Stars Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ayo Edebiri all nabbing acting awards.

Probably not a dream to emigrate to this country and have your child be like, “I want to do improv,” but you’re real ones. Thank you so much for this. It means the world. Thank you,

And Succession tying The Bear for most wins, taking one last victory lap for its final season, including the coveted award for Outstanding Drama Series.

We are so honored. We’ve loved making this show.

Sarah Snook winning lead dramatic actress for her performance as Shiv Roy, pregnant during filming and now telling her daughter what she couldn’t back then.

The proximity of her life growing inside me gave me the strength to do this and this performance, and I love you so much. And it’s all for you, from here on out. Thank you.

And Snook’s onscreen brother Kieran Culkin beating out co-stars Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong for lead actor.

I wasted all my time hugging everybody. I love you all so much, especially everyone in the cast. Jay, Alan, Sarah, Brian, every single one. Thank you so much.

And the voters have no beef with Beef, the limited series nabbing five statues, Ali Wong making history as the first woman of Asian descent to ever win for a leading role.

I wouldn’t be standing here without my parents, my amazing parents, my mother and my father, who I so wish was alive to share this moment with me, my hilarious father who loved me unconditionally and taught me the value of failure.

And her co-star Steven Yuen also winning his category, the night tying the record for the most winning actors and actresses of color. Quinta Brunson, the first Black lead actress to win for a comedy in over 40 years.

Thank you so much. I love making Abbott Elementary so much, and I am so happy to be able to live my dream and act out comedy.

I want to thank me.

And Niecy Nash-Betts taking home the prize for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series, and for the best speech of the night.

I accept this award on behalf of every Black and brown woman who has gone unheard yet over-policed, like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor. As an artist, my job is to speak truth to power, and baby, I’ma do it till the day I die.

First time host, Blackish star Anthony Anderson, leading us through the eventful night with a little help from mom as timekeeper, attempting to wrap the always hilarious Jennifer Coolidge during her win for Supporting Actress in a Drama.

I want to thank all the evil gays. I just really, really. Especially, yes, Paulo, Francesco, and Bruno. Thank you. No, I’m getting… Wrap it up. Okay, yes. Okay.

Baby.

Yes, and I just-

I love you, baby, but time.

Okay, guess what? Guess what? One more thing.

I love you.

I love you too. I just want to say one thing.

And in a surprise appearance, a familiar face returning to the stage, Christina Applegate, who’s been open about her battle with MS, walking out to a standing ovation.

You’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up. It’s fine. Okay. Body not by Ozempic. Okay, let’s go.

She’s amazing. Applegate was a nominee herself last night for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the third and final season of Dead To Me. She did tell the LA Times that this could be her last acting role. She does envision a future of producing, developing, and doing a lot of voiceovers. Good for her.

There were so many great speeches.

It was a really, really good award show. It was just fun to watch. I’ll take that assignment every day.

I know. Anthony and his mom.

A riot. And her wrapping everybody, it was just-

Baby-

… big fun.

Baby, I love it. Baby. I love [inaudible 00:04:55], but you got to go.

And I got to go, but I want to say that we will have more because we haven’t even gotten into the fashion or the terrific reunions. There were so many great reunions last night. We’re going to talk about those coming up in Pop News.
