Emmys 2024 Recap: Shogun Dominates, Hacks Pulls an Upset!

Due to the strikes, 2024 had two Emmys ceremonies in one year. I break down big wins for Shogun, The Bear, Baby Reindeer, and Hacks - and if Emmy voters might be tired of having a drama series competing in the comedy category.

YOU CAN GET ALL MY SHOWS ON AUDIO NOW!

Shogun getting the Emmys record is so well-deserved. Literally everyone should watch this show TODAY.

The Bear didn’t want to go up against Succession and now they don’t want to go up against Shogun lol

When Catherine O'Hara ripped the envelope, I legitimately thought that we're about to enter to another envelope mixed up at an award show and Catherine being so professional to not mess it up 😂😂

Jean Smart in TV is what Meryl Streep is to movies aswell as Audra McDonald in theater. Beloved by so many people, win an award for her well deserving work. It's her sixth win and she's still unbeatable, Hacks is so lucky to have Jean. I hope this Emmy win could encourage people to start binge watch Hacks. Trust me guys, it's freaking worth it 🙌

I’m happy an actual comedy won for best comedy.

Between Baby Reindeer (Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series), Shōgun (Outstanding Drama Series), and Hacks (Outstanding Comedy Series) taking home the biggest award of the night, this might be the happiest I've been for an Emmy result in quite a while

Hiroyuki Sanada is such a journeyman, I am so glad that he got his dues!

So happy for Elizabeth Debicki. I may not be a fan of the last season of The Crown but she was absolutely by far the best part of it. She came a long way from appearing in a small role as Daisy Buchanan's best friend in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and here she is now collecting multiple trophies for her incredible work as Diana in The Crown 🙌

It's funny. Many years ago, if you watched the Emmy awards, they would run clips of shows and you'd say, "I didn't see that one. That really looked good. I wished I could have seen that when it aired." Now, when you can easily stream all the shows that get nominated for Emmys, you don't get to see clips that might get you interested.

I hope the award shows does reunions a lot more in presenting awards. The reunions in this year's Emmy are some of my favourite highlight. We got reunions of "The West Wing", "Happy Days", "Miami Vice", "Y Tu Mamá También", and finally saving the best for last a "Schitt's Creek" reunion. I hope someday, we could get a "Succession" reunion at the Emmys soon

Loved Shogun and Hacks well deserved. Glad that the Emmy voters recognized more series, 9 different won last night.

Oliver and Stewart both winning is hilarious and the other hosts will never let it down. Kimmel even said "you said you were retiring" to Stewart lol

[TheMess]

I think that an even recent comparison was SUCCESSION. That was more of a dark comedy/satire and even more suited to the comedy category. THE BEAR is in comedy to avoid tougher competition.

"Despite my name, I come in peace"

Haha, nice one White British Will Smith 😂

[JROTCBALL]

Shogun, Baby Reindeer and The bear have been some of my favs this year.. Fargo has also staying strong.. and good year for adult animation with Blue Eye Samurai and Scavengers Reign!

[bizuko]

Nothing to do with the Emmys; but I'm tickled to see the Jaws LEGO set on your shelf, such a good build.

[Erasureeraser]

Hacks' win at the end was a surprise but definitely a welcome on especially when it was up against The Bear. An ACTUAL comedy series wins an Outstanding Comedy Series for the first time ever! I'm just happy for Hacks that just keeps getting better and better and it was the right move for the Emmys to win Hacks

[Luke]

You’re totally right. If I was a comedy actor who kept losing to actors in a non comedy show, I’d be pissed. It’s just disrespectful to the art. Like when The Martian was in the Musical/Comedy category… wtf was that all about?

[Erasureeraser]

Eugene and Dan Levy were hilarious and charming but the real funny bit for me was when Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez as the Only Murders In The Building trio (don't worry guys, someday you will win an Emmy for your work on that series) presented the first award with a "Shingles Doesn't Care" meme whenever Martin and Steve teased each other 😅 I love the trio but Martin and Steve as a comedic duo seriously never gets old. For the love of god, i need this trio to host the Emmys or Oscars please!!!!

[rwallaceva]

Have I watched ANY of these shows, no.
Will I watch Dans recap, OF COURSE!
