Emmys 2024

The 2024 Emmy Awards tried, in presentation and award distribution, to spread the love around. It paid tribute to classic, beloved shows and the archetypes that have been a constant throughout the medium’s existence: cops; moms and dads; coaches, I guess? It also rewarded current TV that took creative risks, including limited-series winner Baby Reindeer and the most dominant winner in the drama categories, ShÅgun, which won a total of 18 Emmys for its detailed reimagining of the 1980 miniseries. There were some surprises, too, like the crowning of Hacks for Outstanding Comedy Series and acting wins for Fargo’s Lamorne Morris and The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas. But as is the case with all Emmys, there were definitely some low points, and yes, that is a reference to the bizarre spon-con for Johnnie Walker Blue that had no business being jammed into an awards ceremony.
