It was the joy of six for both Succession and The Bear at the 75th Emmys, as the two shows shared a dozen awards at the event’s 75th outing at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
There was disappointment for Irish nominees Sharon Horgan, Dearbhla Walsh and Declan Lowney who faced some serious competition in their respective categories. In particular, Sharon Horgan lost out to hotly tipped Succession star Sarah Snook in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.
“Thank you to my mum and dad and thank you for having a dress-up box as a kid, I think this is where it gets you,” Snook said as she received her award.
“The biggest thank you I think though is to someone who won’t understand anything that I’m saying at the moment, but I carried her with me in this last season and really it was her who carried me.
“It’s very easy to act when you’re pregnant because you’ve got hormones raging and it was more that the proximity of her life growing inside me gave me the strength to do this and this performance. I love you so much and it’s all for you from here on out.”
It was no surprise that Succession won Best Drama Series to close the Emmy Awards and complete its sixth win of the evening.
“Thank you to Brian Cox (who) this show revolved around, whether he was in it or not,” said creator Jesse Armstrong – who was also a winner on the night.
“This is a show about family, but it is also about when partisan news coverage gets intertwined with divisive right-wing politics, and after four seasons of satire, as I understand it that is a problem we have now fixed.
“We are so honoured, we have loved making this show.”
Kieran Culkin won the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Succession. Matthew Macfadyen was first up in a hat-trick of acting gongs for the show, picking up the Best Supporting Actor award.
An emotional Culkin said: “(Thank you) to my beautiful wife Jazz (Charton), thank you for sharing your life with me and for giving me two amazing kids, and Jaz I want more. You said maybe if I win, I love you so much.”
Culkin kissed co-star Brian Cox on the lips when his win was announced.
Not to be outdone in the acting stakes, Jeremy Allen White won the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for The Bear.
“I love this show so much, it filled me up,” he said.
“Thank you to all those who have stayed close to me, especially in the last year. Thank you for believing in me when I had trouble believing in myself.”
The Bear’s other successes included Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy, and Ayo Edebiri, named Lead Actress in Comedy.
Beef was another big winner as it took home an impressive five Emmy Awards, including the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category.
The show’s leads Steven Yeun and Ali Wong also won awards for Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a Limited Series.
“I want to say thank you to (his character) Danny for teaching me that judgement and shame is a lonely place but compassion and grace is where we can all meet,” Yeun said.
Wong said: “I wouldn’t be standing here without my amazing parents, my mother and my father who I so wish were alive to share this moment with me.
“My hilarious father who loved me unconditionally and taught me the value of failure.”
She also thanked her children for inspiring her, adding: “This is for you.”
Other notable winners on the night were Jennifer Coolidge and Elton John.
The White Lotus star Coolidge won Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, using her speech to thank “all the evil gays”.
She added: “I had a little dream in my little town and it did happen after all, so don’t give up on your dream.”
Elton John won his first Emmy Award, making him an official EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards) winner – but could not pick up the honour after having a knee operation.
His show Elton Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium won in the Best Variety Special Live category.
Producer Ben Winston took to the stage on his behalf, saying: “I am not Elton John, sadly he had a knee op. He’s absolutely fine but wanted to send his love and thanks to the Television Academy for this incredible award.”
