Plus, Ted Lasso actors Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein won again in the lead and supporting categories. Succession repeated its 2020 win in the outstanding drama series category, and Ted Lasso won outstanding comedy series after it also won last year. Saturday Night Live won again in the variety sketch category (its only rival was A Black Lady Sketch Show) it was its sixth win in a row, a pretty boring outcome. That win led (of course) to a powerful and joyful speech from Lizzo about the importance of representation - a running theme over the course of the evening.Įven with competition running hot in almost every category and a lack of shows dominating the awards the way sitcoms like Frasier and Modern Family once did, there were lots of repeat winners. Perhaps the nicest surprise was Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, which broke RuPaul's Drag Race streak of four wins in the reality competition category. This might be a surprise, since it's the first time someone has won for a performance where they didn't speak English, but the sheer phenomenon of the show and its big haul of nominations had suggested it had a good shot at doing well. Lee Jung-jae won lead actor in a drama series for Squid Game, the first Asian man to ever be so honored. Amanda Seyfried took lead actress for The Dropout and Michael Keaton won for lead actor in Dopesick. Yet none of those shows swept the awards. The White Lotus cleaned up in the limited series awards with wins for Coolidge and Murray Bartlett in the supporting categories and for Mike White in directing and writing.

There are years when you have to try to figure out what was the best moment of the ceremony this was not one of those years. The great Sheryl Lee Ralph won the night. But there were also great speeches and encouraging wins, and we're here to look at five takeaways from the ceremony as a whole. There were very strange music choices (why did Jesse Armstrong collect an Emmy for writing Succession and walk on stage to "Shake Your Booty"?) and bits that dragged on too long (especially Jimmy Kimmel's play-dead routine that lasted right through Quinta Brunson's win for comedy writing for Abbott Elementary).
