The 2024 Emmys ceremony, hosted by father-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy, featured a mix of memorable moments and missteps. Despite the predictable wins for shows like “The Bear” and “Baby Reindeer,” there were some surprises throughout the night.
Actress Liza Colón-Zayas made history as the first Latina to win the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy award for her role in “The Bear.” While Jeremy Allen White won for his role in “The Bear,” many felt that his victories in the comedy category were undeserved.
First-time nominee Jessica Gunning took home the trophy for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role in “Baby Reindeer,” showcasing her talent as a rising star. Comedy star John Oliver delivered a hilarious rambling speech after winning for “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”
“SNL” stars Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers, Bowen Yang, and Kristen Wiig had some laughs while roasting Lorne Michaels during their presentation. However, “The Bear” star Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s mid-ceremony commercial felt out of place and cringeworthy.
While legendary actress Jodie Foster won her first Emmy for her performance in “True Detective: Night Country,” the ceremony highlighted the Emmys’ tendency to overlook shows like those produced by Greg Berlanti. Despite the mix of best and worst moments, the 2024 Emmys proved to be an entertaining night celebrating the best of television.
