Eugene and Dan Levy host a night to remember at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, with the full list of winners unveiled throughout the evening.
The Emmy Awards for this year have wrapped up and surprisingly, Hacks won best comedy series. The show's lead, Jean Smart, also took home an award for best actress in a comedy series.
Though last year's best comedy series, The Bear, was a surprise victory, Hacks took first place this year. The Bear won four major awards: Jeremy Allen White for best lead actor in a comedy series, Liza Colón-Zayas for best supporting actress (making history as the first Latina to win the category), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach for best supporting actor. Christopher Storer also took home an award for outstanding directing a comedy series for his work on the show. With 11 Emmys in 2024, The Bear surpassed its previous record of ten from the previous year and became the comedy with the most wins in a single season.
