The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards have finally arrived, celebrating the best performances and productions from the 2023-2024 television season. This year’s 76th ceremony is being broadcast on ABC, following the previous edition that took place in January after delays caused by the Hollywood strikes.
Leading the comedy nominations is FX’s “The Bear,” which had a standout first season, scooping several major awards earlier this year. The second season recently claimed seven awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, with Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis receiving accolades for guest performances. “The Bear” is once again a strong contender for the top comedy series award and may even surpass its own record of ten Primetime Emmys won in a single year.
In the drama category, another FX production, “Shōgun,” is anticipated to perform exceptionally well. Adapted from James Clavell’s historical novel, the series has already made history by achieving the most Emmys won by any series in a single year, with a total of 14 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, including the guest actor award. It has gained nominations in various categories, including drama series, writing, directing, and multiple acting awards.
The limited series “Baby Reindeer,” a dark drama from Netflix, is also expected to have a remarkable night. Based on Richard Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show, it follows a bartender and aspiring comedian named Donny Dunn who gets involved with a peculiar woman he meets. Gadd himself is up for awards in both acting and writing.
So far, the winners from different categories have been announced, including several previously revealed at the Creative Arts Emmys.
In the category for Limited Series/TV Movie Lead Actress, Jodie Foster took home the award for her work in “True Detective: Night Country.” Other nominees included Brie Larson for “Lessons in Chemistry” and Naomi Watts for “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.”
Richard Gadd received the award for Limited Series/TV Movie Lead Actor for “Baby Reindeer,” with other nominees like Matt Bomer and Jon Hamm also in contention.
Frederick E.O. Toye won for Directing in a Drama Series for “Crimson Sky,” part of “Shōgun.” Christopher Storer claimed the Directing for a Comedy Series award for his work in “The Bear.”
Writing accolades were also distributed, with Richard Gadd’s script for “Baby Reindeer” winning for Limited Series. In the drama writing category, Will Smith was awarded for “Negotiating With Tigers,” from “Slow Horses.”

As for lead acting categories, Jean Smart took home the prize for Comedy Lead Actress for her role in “Hacks,” while the Lead Actor award in the comedy field went to Jeremy Allen White for “The Bear.” In the drama field, the awards were highly competitive, with strong performances from actors in series like “The Crown” and “Shōgun.”
