Emmy Awards 2024 List of Winners: In an Emmy night full of surprises, historic wins, and a few laughs, two series dominated the stage—FX’s epic “Shogun” and the “Hacks”. Both shows delivered knockout performances, but the real buzz of the evening was the breakthrough victories for Japanese actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, marking the first-ever Emmy wins for Japanese actors in the history of the awards.

Sanada and Sawai’s emotional wins in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories for “Shogun” set the tone for a night that would see the period drama collect an astonishing 18 Emmys, including Best Drama Series. “Shogun’s” sweeping win was celebrated as a monumental achievement for representation in television, with both actors expressing gratitude for the recognition of their craft in such an impactful way.

But “Shogun” wasn’t the only show bringing in the gold. FX’s “The Bear” came back to the table for another round, securing four wins, including Jeremy Allen White’s second consecutive Best Actor in a Comedy award. The show also took home Best Supporting Actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Best Supporting Actress (Liza Colón-Zayas) in comedy series, who made history as the first Latina to win in the category.

Colón-Zayas delivered one of the night’s most touching speeches, saying, “To all the Latinas who are looking at me—keep believing and vote.” Overwhelmed by the recognition, she reflected on the surreal moment of winning alongside Hollywood legends Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett.

Meanwhile, “Baby Reindeer”, a darkly quirky British limited series, proved that risk-taking in storytelling pays off. The show, based on creator Richard Gadd’s one-man stage performance about his harrowing experiences of sexual abuse, won Best Limited Series, along with Best Actor and Best Writing for Gadd. Jessica Gunning, who played Gadd’s tormentor, took home Best Supporting Actress, solidifying the series’ unexpected success.

Gadd, in his acceptance speech, called on the television industry to “take risks, push boundaries, and explore the uncomfortable”, emphasizing the importance of bold storytelling in modern television. His words struck a chord with the audience, especially given the deeply personal and raw subject matter of “Baby Reindeer”.
