Emmy Awards for the 2022-2023 TV season had to overcome the challenge of seeming like a complete afterthought — and for the most part it succeeded. The ceremony for the 75th Emmys was designed as a tribute to the medium, and featured reunions from shows such as “All in the Family,” “The Sopranos,” “Martin” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” the last of which featured the beloved, departed cast members Katherine Heigl and Justin Chambers, alongside OG stars Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr.
Among the evening’s highlights were Jennifer Coolidge thanking “all the evil gays,” Niecy Nash-Betts thanking herself and “every Black and Brown woman who have gone unheard, yet overpoliced,” and a moving, hilarious appearance by nominee Christina Applegate as the show’s first presenter. And HBO’s “Succession” took its final victory lap after the Jesse Armstrong-created series ended in May of last year, including well-deserved wins for stars Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin, who both switched to the lead acting categories for the show’s final season.
What the show didn’t have a great deal of was shocking surprises or upsets, but there were still some unexpected wins throughout the night. Here they are! We’re picturing Jimmy McGill now, yelling “Zero for 53?!” Yes, Jimmy/Saul, you did not win a single Emmy.
Not for Bob Odenkirk, who was nominated six times for drama lead actor for his iconic, fan-favorite character from “Breaking Bad,” around whom the AMC prequel was based. Not Rhea Seehorn for her exceptional, nuanced portrayal of Kim Wexler, Jimmy’s friend and partner, and then wife.
Not for the show’s superlative writing, nor its directing, nor for any of the supporting cast (Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito). And not the show

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic More actors than ever are now stepping behind the camera to take a shot at directing. To me, they always end up falling into one of three categories. There are the ones who simply aren’t very good at it.
EXCLUSIVE: The dealmaking has begun. Searchlight Pictures closed the first major deal on the ground at the Sundance Film Festival — $10 million for WW rights for A Real Pain, directed and written by Jesse Eisenberg. He stars with freshly minted Emmy winning Succession star Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins David and Benji. They reunite for a tour of Poland to honor their grandmother, but older tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family’s history. The film will get a big theatrical release later this year.
Stephen Rodrick Jesse Eisenberg‘s “A Real Pain” stars Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched New York Jewish cousins. They’re on a trip to Poland in search of the life that their recently dead grandmother lived before the Holocaust. Benji is a buttoned up neurotic on OCD medicine while David is a charming fuckup with no prospects but a mouth that is equally hilarious and malignantly obnoxious.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jesse Eisenberg is officially giving his Lex Luthor advice to Nicholas Hoult, and it’s blunt: “Don’t watch me!” During an interview at the Variety Studio presented by Audible while attending the Sundance Film Festival, Eisenberg suggested Hoult should forge his own path and not pay attention to Eisenberg’s own work as Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s DC Universe. “Whenever you play a role you feel connected to it,” Eisenberg added to Variety‘s Matt Donnelly about playing the DC villain for a short time.
Fresh off of her second Emmy Award win for season two of The White Lotus, Jennifer Coolidge has just landed her newest role.
Emmys’ night of nostalgic tributes worked from start to finish, and the winners’ sincere speeches felt like a breath of fresh air. The day after the ceremony, Variety’s TV critics convened to hash out the show’s highlights.

Emmy Awards Monday night.The “Married… With Children” alum, 52, became emotional as she received a standing ovation from the crowd whilst up on stage amid her multiple sclerosis battle.Schaech — who was married to the “Anchorman” actress from 2001 to 2007 — praised Applegate’s courage to walk the stage despite her health woes.“She danced opening night on Broadway on a broken foot! Beat cancer! She’s the toughest human being I’ve ever met! F–k MS! So proud of her! Go, Christina!” he wrote on X in response to a story about Applegate’s standing ovation at the event.Schaech later uploaded a screenshot of his tweet on his Instagram Story and shared a video of his ex-wife in her stunning Christian Siriano gown.“We are so proud of you, Christina,” he added.Applegate paired her cane with a gorgeous red gown to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series to Ayo Edebiri for “The Bear.”As she walked up to the stage, Applegate joked that her body was “not by Ozempic.”The “Dead To Me” alum, who has been married to Dutch musician Martyn LeNoble since 2013, was diagnosed with MS in early 2021 and remained open about how the condition — which affects the brain and nerves — forced her to pump the brakes on her acting career.Her MS diagnosis came in tandem with the third and final season of the hit Netflix show, in which she starred opposite Linda Cardellini.In an interview with Variety, Applegate opened up on being diagnosed with the disease while in the middle of filming. “I didn’t know what was happening to me,” she said in 2022.
Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards.That’s a new all-time record for futility, people, and was one of the biggest snubs on television’s biggest night, part-and-parcel of the dominance of “Succession,” “Beef” and “The Bear.”“Better Call Saul” star Odenkirk was nominated six times for Best Lead Actor in a Drama for playing slimy lawyer Jimmy McGill — a k a Saul Goodman — but failed to ever take home a statuette.
2024 ceremony, with “The Bear,” “The White Lotus” and “Abbott Elementary” also in the spotlight. Anderson gave a tame, non-controversial opening, unlike widely-derided Golden Globes host Jo Koy’s.
2024 Emmys Awards on Monday, the “Last of Us” star, 48, came on stage to give an award.But while he was speaking, he was censored after taking a jab at the “Succession” actor, 41.Pascal, who has been sporting a sling in recent weeks, presented the accolade for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.“A lot of people have been asking about my arm,” he began.“It’s actually my shoulder. And I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s – – t out of me,” Pascal said, as the ceremony censored him.The telecast then showed the “Father of the Bride” star, who looked unamused … until moments later when he cracked a smile.The “Wonder Woman 1984” actor’s fake feud with Culkin began at the 2024 Golden Globes earlier this month.At the Jan.
Emmy Awards on Monday night. The cast appeared in a replica hospital room at the awards ceremony, where they presented Paul Walter Hauser with a trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, for “Black Bird.” “When the first episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ aired in March of 2005, I’m not sure Shonda Rhimes knew that she had created a show that would have a lasting imprint on television and create lifelong friendships,” Pompeo, 54, began about the show’s creator.“Over 400 episodes and counting — a tribute to everyone who has been a part of our family,” Chambers, 53, added.
that was a nice surprise.Anthony Anderson eschewed the traditional awkward monologue on Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards — delivering a clever salute to several classic TV shows accompanied by a piano and a “small, inclusive choir from Compton.”(“Kevin Costner is from Compton!” he joked.)That, in itself, meant the show was off to a good start — and miles away from Jo Koy’s disastrous opening monologue on last week’s Golden Globes.For a second, I thought the opening shtick, “Mister Anderson’s Neighborhood,” would rip off Eddie Murphy’s classic “SNL” sketch (“Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood“), but it didn’t — as, instead, Anderson sang theme songs from “Good Times,” “The Facts of Life” and “Miami Vice” (with Travis Barker on drums … and Anderson was sockless, just like Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in that landmark ’80s series).And he got the walkoff music bugaboo out of the way, joking that whoever didn’t follow the acceptance-speech timing rules would have to deal with his mother and “We Are Family” co-host, Doris Bowman (“Thank Jesus and your family and wrap it up,” he implored nominees).“The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series — repeating her Golden Globe victory — and gave a nice speech thanking her parents.Ditto for her co-star Jeremy Allen White (Best Lead Actor, Comedy), who included one-too-many “I love yous” in his.It was great to see 90-year-old Carol Burnett on stage to present the Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, won by “Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson, who gave a teary acceptance speech.
Succession and The Bear both scored major success with six wins during the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, closely followed by Beef which received five on-stage awards. Hollywood stars descended at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles for the annual awards on Monday, 15 January, which were pushed back from September due to the US actors' and writers' strikes, to celebrate the best in television.
Better Call Saul is one of the most celebrated shows in recent history, but the series just set a record that likely wasn’t expected.
Succession creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong delivered an acceptance speech for the show’s Outstanding Drama win that matched the show’s arch tone, at least in part.
After six seasons and 53 Emmy nominations, including seven for Outstanding Drama Series, Better Call Saul has left us without a single win.
Joe Otterson TV Reporter “The Bear” and “Beef” came out on top at the 2023 Emmy Awards, with the two shows garnering more wins than any other program of the year. “The Bear” came into the night with four wins from the Creative Arts Emmys, picking up six additional wins throughout the evening for: best comedy series, best supporting actress in a comedy (Ayo Edibri), best supporting actor in a comedy (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), best actor in a comedy (Jeremy Allen White), and best writing and best directing for a comedy series (both Christopher Storer). “Beef” took home eight awards in total, including five Primetime Emmy statuettes throughout the night.
