PremiumEmmy Awards Highlights: The Emmy Awards, the highest honors in television, were handed out at a live ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday at the Peacock Theater, coming after a year of historic Hollywood turbulence in an industry whose upheavals are evident everywhere. “Succession" won best drama series, “The Bear" won best comedy, and both dominated the acting awards at Monday night's Emmys, while Quinta Brunson scored an emotional and historic win for “Abbott Elementary." Friends' actor Matthew Perry received an emotional tribute during the 75th Emmys In Memoriam segment, which also included late stars such as Len Goodman, Andre Braugher, Lance Reddick, Paul Reubens, Barbra Walters, Kirstie Alley and more, Variety reported.
The first hour of the show held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day saw three Black women win major awards: Brunson, Edebiri and Niecy Nash-Betts, who won best supporting actress in a limited series for “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story." Emotions ran high from the start of the ceremony with first presenter, Christina Applegate, who said in 2021 that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, got a standing ovation as she came out using a cane to present the award, and was tearful as she announced the winners. One notable appearance came from Katherine Heigl, who joined Ellen Pompeo and other former “Grey's Anatomy" cast mates on a hospital room set after leaving the show, now about to start its 20th season, on not the best terms in 2010.
