The Primetime Emmy Awards came back to honor the best television shows of the past year on Monday night and gave us another ceremony to remember. The White Lotus topped the list of winners with five trophies, followed by Ted Lasso and Succession.
The White Lotus came into the ceremony as the most nominated limited series, and its domination didn’t come as a shocker. In addition to winning the trophy for the outstanding limited series, its stars Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge picked up acting awards in their respective categories, while the show’s creator Mike White collected two Emmys for directing and writing the series.
As for Ted Lasso, the sports comedy collected four out of ten Primetime Emmy Awards it was nominated for, including its second consecutive Emmy for the outstanding comedy series. Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein picked up acting awards for their roles, while MJ Delaney came out victorious for directing an episode of this show.
It was also a big night for HBO’s political satire Succession, which walked away with three awards, including outstanding drama series, outstanding supporting actor in a drama series (Matthew Macfadyen), and outstanding writing for a drama series (Jesse Armstrong).
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on September 12 at LA’s Microsoft Theater, with Kenan Thompson serving as a host.
