Emmys 2024 live: Succession and The Bear sweep awards as night ends with huge on-stage snog

Emmy's 2024: Stars walk 'silver carpet' as event gets underway

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards aired on Monday (15 January) following a four-month delay, with the best talent in television gathering in Los Angeles for a shimmering ceremony.

The annual celebration of the year’s most brilliant TV shows took place half a year after nominations were announced back in July.

The ceremony was originally scheduled for September but was pushed back due to the Hollywood writer and actor strikes that brought the industry to a standstill last year. As such, these awards honoured shows that aired between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023, meaning it felt a bit like deja vu.

The show with the most nominations was Succession, the fourth and final season of which aired on HBO last year. The drama took home six awards. Fellow HBO dramas The Last of Us and The White Lotus were also heavily nominated, but failed to compete in terms of wins on the night.

Netflix’s limited series Beef and Hulu’s comedy The Bear also saw a raft of big wins at the ceremony.

Anthony Anderson, the controversial Emmys host whose casting has sparked a backlash

For comedian and actor Anthony Anderson, stepping on stage to host the postponed Emmys on Monday night will represent the fulfilment of a lifelong dream.

For many, however, the decision to let Anderson preside over television’s biggest night is a controversial one. His chequered past, which includes multiple sexual assault allegations that Anderson has vigorously denied, has sparked a growing backlash to his casting.

Biggest Emmy snubs

When the nominees for the 75th Emmy Awards were announced last July, there were a handful of worthy actors and shows that didn’t make the list, most notably Taylor Sheridan’s wildly popular cowboy drama Yellowstone was once again put out to pasture.

Netflix’s bombshell Harry & Meghan docuseries was also a notable abdication from the nominees. The Academy clearly did not agree with The Independent’s Jessie Thompson, who called the six-parter “intimate, self-aggrandising, and wildly entertaining” in her four-star review.

ESPN Emmy Award scandal

The popular sports network ESPN has apologised after it was found out that some of the names submitted in categories, dating back to 1997, were fake.

“Some members of our team were clearly wrong in submitting certain names that may go back to 1997 in Emmy categories where they were not eligible for recognition or statuettes,” the network said in a statement, according to the AP.

This scandal was first brought to light by The Athletic, which reported that College GameDay on-air personalities such as Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and Desmond Howard were honoured with awards they were ineligible for. There has been no evidence to suggest that the winners knew what was going on.
