The Emmy Awards went off last night, and some of the best and brightest of TV were honored. Emmy mainstays like Ted Lasso and Succession picked up a ton of awards, but there was also a strong presence of first-season shows like the dystopian Squid Game and sitcom Abbott Elementary.
Miniseries The White Lotus also cleaned up in the Limited Series or Anthology Series category, winning three awards including Best Series. It was initially meant for one season but was such a hit that a second season set in Sicily is now in production.
Abbott Elementary’s creator Quinta Brunson was honored with her first Emmy for writing the show’s pilot, and star Sheryl Lee Ralph also got the Supporting Actress Award for comedy. Other big winners of the night were Lee Jung-jae for his incredible lead performance in Squid Game, Matthew Macfadyen finally winning for Succession and Jennifer Coolidge for stealing most scenes in The White Lotus.
