The 75th Emmy Awards is one of the most prestigious awards in the television world, and this year, the shows – Beef, Succession, and The Bear dominated the ceremony by bagging most of the awards. Like every award show, it, too, was an eventful one with some fantastic moments. Some were emotional, and some were funny. Let us take a look at the Emmys 2024 Highlights.
For the unversed, the Emmys took place after a delay of four months due to the Hollywood strikes. It was initially set to take place in September 2023. Anthony Anderson hosted the award ceremony, and he had his mother in the audience to help him occasionally carry forward the ceremony smoothly.
Succession and The Bear won six major awards at the Emmys 2024, with Beef securing one less than them. Those who thankfully got the chance to grab awards included Niecy Nash-Betts for Dahmer, Jennifer Coolidge for The White Lotus, and others. Among them, we got to pick our favorite moments from the awards night.
