After scoring big at such recent award shows as the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards, FX‘s The Bear has continued down the path of awards glory, claiming six statuettes at the 2023 Primetime Emmys.
At the ceremony, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday night, the beloved Chicago restaurant-world comedy scored the prizes for Outstanding Comedy Series, Comedy Actor (Jeremy Allen White), Comedy Supporting Actress (Ayo Edebiri) and Comedy Supporting Actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), as well as the awards for Comedy Writing and Directing. With creator Christopher Storer, the recipient of the latter two awards, absent from tonight’s ceremony, EP-actor (and real-world chef) Matty Matheson stepped up to accept the Comedy Series prize on behalf of the team.
“What’s good? I just want to thank restaurants as a whole, hospitality as a whole,” said Matheson, before being kissed passionately on the mouth by excited co-star Moss-Bachrach.
“I love you Ebon…I just love restaurants so much, the good, the bad,” Matheson went on to say. “It’s rough. We’re all broken inside, and every single day we’ve got to show up and cook and make people feel good by eating something that’s sitting at a table.” Matheson called the picture he was painting “really beautiful,” also acknowledging the gift in getting to make a show that makes people “feel good, or filled with anxiety, or triggered, it seems.”
Subsequently, the cast member acknowledged all the people without whom The Bear wouldn’t exist. Shooting the show is “hard work. It’s early hours; we don’t see the sun for three months,” he joked. “We shoot on a sound stage; it’s really cool. I’ve never been on one before.”
