The 2024 Emmys took place on Sunday (September 15) night, with controversial Netflix show Baby Reindeer, kitchen drama The Bear and historical Japan-set series Shōgun all winning big.
The three-hour ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The broadcast is now available to watch on Hulu.
This year’s event was hosted for the first time by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, who co-created and starred in the hit series Schitt’s Creek.
“We’re going to keep it light and bright,” Dan Levy told the Los Angeles Times, while his father added: “You’re setting a tone, and it’s our tone. It is what it is.
“It’s kind of tricky when you’re in the weeds, but ultimately we have to be ourselves and go with what we think is funny.”
Awards presenters will included Hollywood legend and Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke, 97, along with Allison Janney, Martin Sheen, Matt Bomer, Lily Gladstone and Kristen Wiig.

Candice Bergen takes aim at JD Vance
Well, this is looking like a theme of the night. After Selena Gomez, Candice Bergen is the next to mock Republican Vice President nominee JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment.
Speaking about her classic sitcom Murphy Brown, Bergen said: “In one classic moment, my character was attacked by VP Dan Quayle when Murphy was pregnant and he decided to attack my character for being a single mother. Today a candidate would never attack a single mother so as they say, my work here is done. Meow.”

The Bear’s biggest cameos ranked, from Olivia Colman to Jamie Lee Curtis
Yes chef, after 12 long months of waiting, the most wholesome yet panic attack-inducing show on television,The Bear, is finally back for season three.
A year ago, we left Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) locked in The Bear’s freezer, pounding on the door in rage, while Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) thrived on the other side. After missing his own restaurant’s opening night, the youngest Berzatto sibling was then broken up with by his girlfriend Claire (Molly Gordon) through the stainless steel. It was not a good day at work.
Alongside turbulent career setbacks, life-saving omelettes and Taylor Swift-soundtracked character arcs, The Bear has gifted viewers many guest star appearances from award-winning actors including Olivia Colman and Jamie Lee Curtis.
So, as the series returns for a further 10 episodes, scroll through The Bear’s biggest cameos, with the best saved for last.

Alan Cumming says Taylor Swift ‘stole my look'
Alan Cumming was asked about Taylor Swift wearing plaid at the MTV VMAs earlier this week
“B****, stole my look!” Cumming joked on the Emmys red carpet. The British actor is known for his plaid ensembles on the set of The Traitors USA.
