The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards are upon us, and if you're thinking 'hey, I already watched the Emmys this year. Is time hurtling at an ever-increasing speed?' The answer is yes on both fronts!
But actually, the awards are so nice they're being held twice this year — following the Writer's Strike and SAG-AFTRA Strike of 2023, which delayed the awards last year.
The 2023 Emmy Awards saw big wins for shows including The Bear, Abbott Elementary, Succession and Beef. And now a whole new host of TV shows are up for the biggest awards on television's night of nights.
And it's a big year of history-making firsts in Hollywood.
Lily Gladstone was nominated in the Supporting Actress category for her role in the limited series Under The Bridge, alongside another Afro-Indigenous star, Kali Reis, from True Detective: Night Country. This is the first time any Indigenous woman has been nominated for an acting category at the Emmys. The final season of Reservation Dogs finally scored nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, and its star D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai was nominated for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, a first for any Indigenous actor in the award's history.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith star Maya Erskine and Shōgun star Anna Sawai both became only the second and third Asian women to be nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Ayo Edebiri's transition from 'supporting' to 'lead' actress in The Bear also garnered a historic nomination, making her the youngest Black woman ever to be nominated for Lead Actress in a Comedy.
True Detective: Night Country showrunner Issa López nabbed a triple nomination for directing, writing and producing the fourth season of the anthology series, becoming the first Latino to be nominated in the directing category.
With so many firsts, it's also a night of returning favourites in the best show categories.
The Crown, The Morning Show, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Hacks and more are back and better than ever. But who will take out the most awards on the night?
Some gongs were handed out last week, with the technical categories being awarded on September 8 at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Why? In order to avoid hosting a show that runs for one million hours and is actually enjoyable for the talent and viewers at home (take note, Australia's Logie Awards).
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards allows the technical categories to have their moment to shine, one week before the main event.
Shows including The Bear, Shōgun, Baby Reindeer and Only Murders In The Building have already picked up awards — which could be a sign of what's to come next week.
Jamie-Lee Curtis won Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her turn in the Christmas episode of The Bear, while Jon Bernthal won Best Guest Actor for his role as Carmy's older brother Michael. The Bear also won the award for Best Casting for a Comedy.
The Beckham docuseries on Netflix won Best Documentary or Non-Fiction Series, while Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny's football series Welcome to Wrexham picked up the award for Best Unstructured Reality Program.
In niche news, songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul gained EGOT status today as they picked up the award for their original song 'Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?' for Only Murders in the Building.
