This year’s Primetime Emmy Awards gave us another show to remember, with top prizes going to some worthy contenders. The White Lotus topped the list of winners on Monday night with a total of five trophies, but Ted Lasso and Succession were right behind.
The White Lotus helped HBO dominate the Emmys this year, and won some of the night’s biggest awards in the limited series categories. In addition to being crowned the outstanding limited series, its stars Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge picked up acting awards, while its creator Mike White collected two Emmys for writing and directing this series.
HBO also did pretty great in the drama categories, largely thanks to Succession. This show won its second Emmy for the outstanding drama series, in addition to picking up awards for outstanding supporting actor (Matthew Macfadyen) and outstanding writing (Jesse Armstrong).
When it comes to the comedy field, Ted Lasso led the way for the second year in a row. It won the awards for outstanding comedy series, outstanding lead and supporting actor in a comedy series (Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein), and outstanding directing for a comedy series (MJ Delane).
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 12. Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson was in charge of hosting the show.
