The Primetime Emmy Awards returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night, and this year’s ceremony was one for history books. Shōgun shattered records with a total of 18 trophies, while the list of major winners also included Baby Reindeer, The Bear, and Hacks.
Shōgun came into this year’s Emmys with a total of 25 nods, including eight in the major categories. It collected 14 awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards a week prior, breaking the record previously held by John Adams, before winning four more awards at the main event for a total of 18.
Shōgun defeated The Crown, Fallout, The Gilded Age, The Morning Show, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Slow Horses, and 3 Body Problem to be named the outstanding drama series. Its leading duo Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai won acting awards for their respective performances, while Frederick E. O. Toye collected the trophy for best directing for a drama series.
When it comes to the comedy field, it was a tight race between The Bear and Hacks. The Bear managed to win four awards for 11 overall – most wins for a comedy series in a single year – but it lost the coveted outstanding comedy series award to Hacks.
Netflix’s limited series Baby Reindeer also walked away with four major awards, including outstanding limited or anthology series, outstanding writing, plus acting awards for its main duo Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning.
The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 15, with Eugene Levy and Dan Levy hosting the show.
