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.
Let us take a look at the Emmys 2024 highlighting moments:
Niecy Nash-Betts’ acceptance speech
Niecy Nash-Betts won the Emmy for her performance as an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for Dahmer. It is also her first award. The actress gave a powerful acceptance speech. She said, “You know who I wanna thank? I wanna thank me. For believing in me and doing what they said I could not do. I want to say to myself in front of all you beautiful people, go on girl with your bad self.”
Check out her speech here, shared and posted on Film Updates’ X:

Christina opened the award night as the first presenter on stage and came up to the podium with a cane and host Anthony Anderson’s help. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, as per CNN Entertainment. She even received a standing ovation from the audience.
In her speech, before announcing the night’s first award, she said, “You’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up; it’s fine.” She was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series category at night but lost to Quinta Brunson.

Kieran Culkin of Succession trumped Pedro Pascal again and bagged the award for his performance at the Emmys 2024. After Kieran’s ‘Suck it Pedro’ at the Golden Globes 2024, The Last of Us star took a fun jibe at Kieran and said that he beat the sh*t out of him. He was up on stage as a presenter and presented one of the awards for Best Supporting Actor.
