After a four-month delay prompted by Hollywood’s twin actors and writers strikes, the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards finally had their moment in the spotlight.
Much of the focus coming in was on HBO’s Succession, seeking its third best-drama Emmy in four seasons (the others coming in 2020 and 2022), having missed out in a first season that coincided with the eighth and final campaign of another HBO heavyweight, Game of Thrones.

Yet the evening stood out in several ways, including its diversity, with a number of Black and Asian winners, the latter thanks to the Netflix limited series Beef, honoured with five awards on Monday, including for stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and for writing and directing.
With its trio of technical wins at earlier Emmy presentations, the show finished with eight awards.
Emmy producers also came up with a novel gag in having host Anthony Anderson’s mum inform recipients that their acceptance speeches needed to wrap up, instead of the customary play-off music.
But as the show unfolded, briskly racing through categories, the imperative to hurry the festivities along seemed to fade.
Emmy producers sought to tap into nostalgia tied to the 75th anniversary, sprinkling mini-show reunions in the form of presenter pairings and nods to the medium’s history throughout the telecast.
Because of its postponement, the Emmys somewhat awkwardly followed the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards in rapid succession.
The Emmys were last delayed in 2001, after the September 11 attacks.
Here is the full list nominees of winners at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.
