2024 Emmy Awards live updates: ‘Hacks’ upsets ‘The Bear’ for best comedy series
“Shogun” won best drama series at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night — one of 18 trophies the show took home for its first season. “Hacks” won best comedy series, topping “The Bear,” which took home several of the night’s honors.
A horde of hungry and thirsty Emmy winners and showgoers are crossing the street to hit the Governors Gala.
With a backdrop of dark starry skies and a life-size Emmy slowly twirling in the center of the room, partygoers are lining up for chicken souvlaki, lobster salad sliders, gnocchi and carved beef from celeb chefs Augusto Pasini, Brooke Williamson and Michael Voltaggio. A live band is getting the dance floor going.
“I’m blessed with all the people around me who helped me make it happen. I kind of just feel a bit overwhelmed right now. I wasn’t expecting this,” Richard Gadd said backstage after his three wins for “Baby Reindeer.” “I’m just so glad that the show has touched the lives of so many people, and the Academy have acknowledged it in this way. It’s the greatest night of my life. What can I say?”
Gadd also initially declined to answer a question about the $170 million defamation lawsuit Netflix is facing for the show, but then spoke to its impact. The lawsuit comes from the woman who claims to be the inspiration for the series, which is based off of Gadd’s life and experience with a woman who stalked him.
“It’s easy in this day and age to focus on the negatives,” he said before saying the show has driven some viewers to donate to sexual assault and stalking-focused charities and has done “phenomenal things worldwide for so many people.”
