“The Bear” Brings Home the Bacon (Literally)
Oh, and “The Bear”? It basically said, “Hold my spatula,” and once again swept. Not only did Jeremy Allen White sizzle as Lead Actor in a Comedy, but Liza Colón-Zayas and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also scored Supporting Actress and Actor wins. That’s right—everyone in that kitchen is apparently Emmy-worthy. If only our kitchen had that kind of magic. Sigh.

“Baby Reindeer” Gallops to Victory
Over in limited series land, “Baby Reindeer” had its moment, winning Outstanding Limited Series and getting Richard Gadd a Lead Actor trophy. This show is dark, emotional, and so binge-worthy you’ll need a snack break. Trust us, you’ll need some chocolate to recover.
The 2024 Emmys highlighted the diversity and excellence in television, with major wins across different genres and platforms. With these shows at the forefront, the TV landscape is as exciting and innovative as ever!
