Emmys 2023 live: Succession and The Bear sweep awards as night ends with huge on-stage snog

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards aired on Monday (15 January) following a four-month delay, with the best talent in television gathering in Los Angeles for a shimmering ceremony.

The annual celebration of the year’s most brilliant TV shows took place half a year after nominations were announced back in July.

The ceremony was originally scheduled for September but was pushed back due to the Hollywood writer and actor strikes that brought the industry to a standstill last year. As such, these awards honoured shows that aired between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023, meaning it felt a bit like deja vu.

The show with the most nominations was Succession, the fourth and final season of which aired on HBO last year. The drama took home six awards. Fellow HBO dramas The Last of Us and The White Lotus were also heavily nominated, but failed to compete in terms of wins on the night.

Netflix’s limited series Beef and Hulu’s comedy The Bear also saw a raft of big wins at the ceremony.

You can find a full list of all the winners here.

The Bear stars share lengthy on-stage kiss after Emmys win

Tuesday 16 January 2024 08:59 , Tom Murray

Ebon Moss-Bachrach planted a huge kiss on Matty Matheson’s lips after The Bear won Best Comedy Series.

“I just want to thank restaurants as a whole, hospitality as a whole,” TV chef-turned-actor Matheson began on stage. But before he could finish, Moss-Bachrach – who plays Cousin Richie on the show – grabbed Mattheson by the sides of his head and pulled him in for a lengthy smooch, causing shocked reactions from their cast mates and cheers from the audience.

The day of the Emmys, host Anthony Anderson weighed in on Jo Koy’s controversial performance at last week’s Golden Globes.

Reacting to the outcry, Anderson told Fox News: “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. There’s going to be criticism.”

Why wasn’t The Morning Show nominated for any Emmys?

Tuesday 16 January 2024 07:20 , Tom Murray

Many fans of The Morning Show were wondering why the Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston-fronted series received a grand total of zero nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Fear not, Apple TV’s duo have not been snubbed by voters – the show is simply ineligible this time around.

These Emmys are a postponed version of the 2023 ceremony, which was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes. As such, tonight’s awards honour shows that aired between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023. The Morning Show’s recent third season, which aired from 13 September to 8 November 2023, won’t be eligible until next time around.

While posing outside of the Peacock Theater, Plaza turned heads with her look: a yellow dress with a giant sewing needle poked through the square-cut top. She paired the floor-length gown, which was designed by Loewe, with silver earrings and rings, while she wore her hair in a half-ponytail.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Plaza’s outfit divided viewers, with many reacting with memes about the front of the dress resembling a Post-it note.

Hollywood’s favourite faces walked the red carpet outside Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater in gowns and tuxedoes that didn’t fail to turn heads.

Old Hollywood glamour was also on display on the red carpet, with many stars arriving in their best satin skirts, feathered dresses, and silver or gold statement necklaces.

Emmys 2024 sees Succession, Beef and The Bear share the vast majority of spoils

Tuesday 16 January 2024 05:14 , Tom Murray

“It might be remembered as a three-way battle, but there was no real battle about it,” writes Louis Chilton. “HBO’s universally acclaimed drama Succession ended the night as the most prolific victor, winning a total of six awards in the drama categories, including Best Series, Best Actor (for Kieran Culkin), Best Actress (for Sarah Snook) and Best Supporting Actor (for Matthew Macfadyen).

“The comedy strand, meanwhile, was dominated by FX’s knife-edge culinary comedy The Bear, with Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach taking home three of the four acting prizes. And in the limited series field, it was Netflix’s tit-for-tat thriller Beef that won the night, garnering five wins.”

The Succession star, who won the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his performance as the mischievous, foul-mouthed Roman Roy, used his speech to tell his wife Jazz Charton: “Thank you for sharing your life with me and giving me two amazing kids... I want more. You said ‘maybe’, if I win! I love you so much.”

In response, Charton could be seen covering her face with her hands in a mixture of joy and shock.

Culkin, 41, and Charton, 35, share two children together: Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf.

Stephen Colbert reveals that his wife saved his life after his appendix burst

Tuesday 16 January 2024 04:17 , Tom Murray

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert host, 59, opened up about the ordeal, which happened in November, while speaking to ET’s Nischelle Turner on the red carpet.

Colbert, who cancelled multiple shows in November after the health scare, credited Evelyn McGee-Colbert, his wife of more than 30 years, while telling Turner: “Where’s my wife? She’s somewhere around here. She saved my life.”

The late-night host then elaborated on his ruptured appendix, and how McGee-Colbert stepped in to help. “First, appendix. And I was in a lot of pain. It was the last show before we took a break. And I went: ‘I’ll just go do the show anyway. I’m sure we’ll be fine.’ By the time the show’s over I had a 102.5 fever. I was in shock. I had blood poisoning,” he recalled.

Colbert then joked about the situation, offering a warning to viewers: “Don’t do it, kids. Don’t broadcast with blood poisoning!”

That brings an end to the 2024 Emmy Awards (which were actually the 2023 Emmy Awards). I think it’s safe to say that Golden Globes host Jo Koy will be looking enviously at how smoothly that ceremony went. It was classy and ended with a clip of Martin Luther King Jr on his day of celebration, bravo.

Daniel Radcliffe sparks marriage rumours

Tuesday 16 January 2024 03:42 , Tom Murray

Daniel Radcliffe has sparked rumours that he and his longtime girlfriend Erin Darke have gotten married.

The 34-year-old actor spoke candidly about his family during an interview with Laverne Cox for E! News, while walking the red carpet. Radcliffe was nominated for his first-ever Emmy award for his role in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Speaking to Cox, Radcliffe seemingly hinted that he and Darke – who he shares his nearly one-year-old son with – had tied the knot when he described his partner’s parents.

“Honestly, the people whose opinions I cared most about the movie were my in-laws,” he said, when discussing some of the feedback he received about Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. “They are huge Weird Al fans and they kind of got me into it. But they were very happy, thank God.”

Tuesday 16 January 2024 03:40 , Tom Murray

Sir Elton John has become the 19th person in history to achieve an “EGOT”.

The honour, an acronym which stands for “Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, [and] Tony”, is unofficially bestowed upon entertainers who have managed to win the biggest awards in the four fields.

John earned the title with a win at the 2024 Emmys in the early hours of Tuesday (16 January), for his Disney+ concert programme Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium.

The singer begins by playing “See You Again” as stars lost in the last year including Angus Cloud, Leslie Jordan, Len Goodman and more appear on screen.

Bella Ramsey and Ariana DeBose appear to have made up

Tuesday 16 January 2024 02:59 , Tom Murray

Bella Ramsey and Ariana DeBose were pictured hugging it out at the Emmy Awards.

DeBose was not happy about a joke made about her by Ramsey and Anthony Ramos at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.

The 20-year-old star of The Last of Us was presenting the award for Best Song, for which DeBose was nominated, when she joked that the tracks nominated in the category were performed “by some of the most famous voices in the music industry”.

Following this, Ramos namechecked Billie Eilish, Lenny Kravitz and Dua Lipa – but Ramsey then referred to the remaining nominees, including DeBose, Jack Black and Ryan Gosling, as “actors who also think that they are singers”.

DeBose, who has starred in several Broadway musicals and has previously been nominated for a Tony Award, appeared to react to the quip on Instagram, with a post that simply said: “No I didn’t find it funny. Lol.”

Christina Applegate jokes her body is ‘not by Ozempic’

Tuesday 16 January 2024 02:17 , Tom Murray

The 52-year-old Dead to Me actor surprised audiences when she took the stage to present the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series to The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri.

She was met with a massive standing ovation from the crowd, which left Applegate overwhelmed and teary-eyed.

After Applegate announced in August 2021 that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), she stayed away from the spotlight, solely making public appearances to support the final season of the popular Netflix comedy series Dead to Me, for which she has been nominated for an Emmy this year for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.

“Thank you so much,” Applegate told the audience, roaring with applause. “Oh my god, you’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up. It’s fine…Body not by Ozempic. Okay, let’s go.” Ozempic is a prescription medication prescribed for the treatment of diabetes, however, it has increased in popularity as a weight-loss method.

Succession star Culkin had previously told The Last of Us actor to “suck it” while accepting the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama earlier this month.

On Monday, Pascal issued a sweary retort to the jibe. The actor was seen wearing a sling around his arm, having sustained an injury to his shoulder.

He told the crowd: “A lot of people have been asking about my arm, it’s actually my shoulder... Kieran Culkin beat the s*** out of me.”

Fans defend Hannah Waddingham after Laverne Cox mispronounces her name

Tuesday 16 January 2024 01:36 , Tom Murray

Social media users have leapt to Hannah Waddingham’s defence after Laverne Cox repeatedly mispronounced the Ted Lasso star’s name on the Emmys red carpet.

Cox was in the midst of hosting a string of red carpet interviews at the television awards show when she introduced her next guest as “Hannah Waddington”.

Waddingham, 49, smoothly corrected her, clapping her hands together and adding with a smile: “Let’s get that right.”

Cox asked her to repeat her name, but then managed to mispronounce the name again in a new way: “Hannah Wattingham.”

Fans on social media were quick to react to the awkward interaction, with one X/Twitter user writing: “Very uncomfortable watching Laverne Cox butcher Hannah Waddingham’s name. First it was ‘Waddington’ and then it was ‘Wattingham’”.

Succession’s Kieran Culkin reveals he STILL hasn’t watched the show’s earth-shattering finale.

He explains to Variety’s Marc Mulkin that he was shooting in Poland when it was released and couldn’t get into his HBO Max account. Since then, time has just gotten away from him.

“I was there. I shot it, so I vaguely recall – although I saw a clip of a scene yesterday and I was laughing and I was like, ‘That’s funny. I forgot about that scene’ and it’s a huge scene,” he said on the Emmys red carpet.

Ayo Edibiri shouts out ‘my people’ in Ireland

Monday 15 January 2024 23:48 , Tom Murray

In recent months, Edibiri has been adopted by the people of Ireland... despite having no connection to the country.

It all started last year when the actor joked that she played Jenny the Donkey in the 2023 awards show darling, The Banshees of Inisherin.

“Preparing for that? I lived in Ireland – ‘Ireland’ – for about four months,” she told an interviewer on the red carpet last year, imitating an Irish accent.

“And I got really into character and I was on all fours for four months and it was really painful but beautiful as well and it was probably the most fulfilling part of my career.”

The joke has gone so far that Irish fans have even renamed the actor, “Ay O’Edibiri”.

Addressing the long-running joke on the Emmys red carpet, Edibiri told ET: “Shout out Ireland; shout out Derry; shout out Cork; shout out to Killarney; shout out to Dublin.”

Despite not having Twitter/X, Edibiri said she is “aware of my connection to Ireland”.

What time does the Emmys red carpet start?

Monday 15 January 2024 20:20 , Inga Parkel

Ahead of the ceremony, which begins at 5pm PT/8pm ET, all the stars will walk the red carpet to mingle with interviewers and pose for photos. In a way, I like to equate the red carpet with the NFL halftime show.

Tonight’s official red carpet will begin on Fox two hours before the ceremony at 3pm PT/6pm ET, and will be hosted by Laverne Cox for E!. Entertainment Weekly and People will also be holding their own red carpet show hosted by Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein. You can tune in to the latter via their YouTube channels, social media accounts or websites.

Trevor Noah honours those who were recognised at the Creative Arts Emmys

Monday 15 January 2024 20:00 , Inga Parkel

While those in front of the camera typically take precedence over those behind the scenes, the latter are no less important. In the lead-up to the Emmys ceremony tonight, the Creative Arts Emmys were awarded at the weekend, and comedian Trevor Noah made sure to give a shoutout to the winners. Those honoured at the Creative Arts Emmys include video editors, set decorators, production designers, costume designers, casting directors, cinematographers and sound editors.

Jenna Ortega could make history tonight

Monday 15 January 2024 19:20 , Inga Parkel

The 21-year-old Wednesday star already made history as the youngest Latina to earn an acting Emmy nomination. So should she go on to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Ortega will become the youngest Latina acting Emmy winner ever.

She’s up against Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) and Christina Applegate (Dead to Me).

Will the Emmys still have a second awards show in September?

Monday 15 January 2024 18:20 , Inga Parkel

This year, there will technically be two 2024 Emmy Awards shows, the postponed 75th Emmys happening on Monday (15 January) and the 76th Emmy Awards in September. The former will be awarding shows that were released between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023, while the latter will recognise series and shows released between 1 May 2023 and 31 May 2024.

Who will present the Emmys?

Monday 15 January 2024 17:20 , Inga Parkel

Joining host Anthony Anderson on stage to present the awards, is a long list of stars, which include: Jason Bateman, Quinta Brunson, Stephen Colbert, Dame Joan Collins, Jon Cryer, Charlie Day, Jodie Foster, Marla Gibbs, Brett Goldstein, Jon Hamm, Taraji P Henson, Glenn Howerton and Ken Jeong.

Rob McElhenney, Joel McHale, Jenna Ortega, Pedro Pascal, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Holland Taylor, Juno Temple, Taylor Tomlinson and Hannah Waddingham will also present.

Did the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards give a little insight into what will win tonight?

Monday 15 January 2024 17:00 , Inga Parkel

So far, Succession and The Bear have completely dominated the TV competition at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Beef also led several of the categories for limited series.

Oftentimes, the Emmys arrive ahead of the Golden Globes, however, this year, with the delayed Emmy Awards, the order has flipped. Similarly to how the Golden Globes act as a predictor for the Oscars, I think it’ll do the same for the Emmys.

Here’s a peak at the seating arrangement for Monday night’s ceremony, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter.

I spy previously announced presenters – Ke Huy Quan, Carol Burnett, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and several Grey’s Anatomy stars – along with nominees: Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega, the cast of Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building leads Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, and Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham.

Succession’s brutal finale cements Shakespearean tragedy as one of this century’s greatest works of art

Monday 15 January 2024 15:20 , Nicole Vassell

Whether you’re a paid-up member of the Waystar Royco fan club or you’ve never seen an episode of Succession in your life, you’ll surely be aware that it’s the show to beat at this year’s Emmys.

With its fourth and final season coming to a suitably dramatic finish last summer, the Jesse Armstrong-created drama is nominated for 27 Emmy awards, with some actors going head-to-head for the same award.

Here’s Louis Chilton’s take on Succession’s stunning conclusion, and why all the high praise is warranted:

As the biggest night in television approaches, not everyone has a sunny outlook on the current landscape of TV.

Why is this year’s Emmy host controversial?

When is the last time that the Emmy awards show was postponed?

Monday 15 January 2024 09:20 , Annabel Nugent

This event’s delay is the first time the Emmys have been postponed since 2001, when the 9/11 attacks came just five days before the planned ceremony. That ceremony would end up being held in November.

What is weird about this year’s Emmy award-winners?

Monday 15 January 2024 07:20 , Tom Murray

In another anomaly, by the time of the ceremony, all the winners will have been established, the metaphorical envelopes sitting unopened for more than four months. That’s because the Television Academy wanted at least the voting to be the same as always, so its approximately 20,000 members had to cast their ballots by 28 August.

Who’s hosting the Emmys?

Sunday 14 January 2024 23:20 , Annabel Nugent

Hosted for the first time by Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, the 2024 Emmy Awards will celebrate the best television shows that aired between 1 June 2022, and 31 May 2023.

Anderson, who was nominated for lead actor in a comedy seven times for his work on ABC’s Black-ish, is a first-time Emmys host, although he’s hosted the NAACP Image Awards eight times.

He’ll also have a fresh connection to Fox by the time he takes the Emmys stage – his new show We Are Family is set to debut in early January.

However, his chequered past, which includes multiple sexual assault allegations that Anderson has vigorously denied, has sparked a growing backlash to his casting as host.

Did the delay affect the voting process?

Sunday 14 January 2024 21:39 , Nicole Vassell

In many ways, no. The Television Academy, which runs the Emmys, wanted to maintain the same voting processes, even if there was no concrete idea of when the ceremony could go ahead.

As a result, the 20,000-strong membership of the Academy had to cast their ballots by 28 August as usual – meaning that the winners were decided months ago, regardless of how conversations around projects may have fluctuated.

Since the nominations were announced back in July, this also means an additional delay to what seasons and projects are in contention. The Bear, for example, which has now run for two seasons, has 13 nominations, but all for its first season, which was released on Hulu in June 2022.

By the time of the ceremony, season two of the hectic drama-comedy will have been out for nearly seven months.

Why are the 2023 Emmy Awards delayed to 2024?

Awards season is well and truly underway, with the Primetime Emmy Awards set to honour the best of TV from 2022 to 2023 just a week after Hollywood gathered for the Golden Globes.

In an unusual move, the Emmys will take place on Monday 15 January – four months later than its typical date.

The White Lotus creator Mike White teases ‘supersized’ season 3

Sunday 14 January 2024 19:39 , Maanya Sachdeva

The White Lotus has received 24 Emmy nominations this year, including Best Drama Series as well as a slew of acting categories.

The show’s creator Mike White gave fans a taste of what to expect from the show’s highly-anticipated third season in an interview last November.

“It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” White promised. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing ... I’m super excited about the content of the season.”

The cast for season three was announced earlier this month, with The White Lotus travelling to Thailand for its latest instalment.

The show was a smash hit for the network, garnering widespread acclaim including 24 nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

‘Yellowstone’, Prince Harry and Helen Mirren among snubs

Sunday 14 January 2024 17:39 , Tom Murray

Yellowstone, Prince Harry, and Helen Mirren were among the biggest snubs when the Emmy nominees were announced back in July last year.

Taylor Sheridan’s wildly popular cowboy drama Yellowstone was once again put out to pasture. He’ll be hoping that the arrival of Matthew McConaughey, who is set to take over from Kevin Costner as the series regenerates, will earn him more favour with the TV Academy.

Many expected awards show darling Helen Mirren to earn a nomination for her part in the Yellowstone sequel, 1923, in which she co-starred with Harrison Ford. Alas, no dice; though, Mirren holds four primetime Emmys already, so she’s unlikely to lose any sleep over the snub.

Netflix’s bombshell Harry & Meghan docuseries was also a notable abdication from the nominees. The Academy clearly did not agree with The Independent’s Jessie Thompson, who called the six-parter “intimate, self-aggrandising, and wildly entertaining” in her four-star review.

This year marks the first time in more than 20 years that the Emmys haven’t aired as planned in September. In 2001, the awards were postponed due to the 9/11 attacks which occurred just five days before the planned ceremony.

The Bear renewed for season three with star Jeremy Allen White an awards season favourite

Sunday 14 January 2024 10:20 , Maanya Sachdeva

Jeremy Allen White’s turn as chef Carmy Berzatto on The Bear has earned the 32-year-old actor a slew of nominations this award season – and he’s already off to a winning start.

White recently took home the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy TV Series, and is looking like a strong contender for the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series during the ceremony on Monday.

The show, which catapulted White to global stardom, has now been renewed for a third season after a nerve-wracking wait.

In many ways, no. The Television Academy, which runs the Emmys, wanted to maintain the same voting processes, even if there was no concrete idea of when the ceremony could go ahead.

Why were the Emmy’s postponed?

Sunday 14 January 2024 08:20 , Annabel Nugent

In an unusual move, the Emmys will take place on Monday 15 January – four months later than its typical date.

Usually, the Emmys are an outlier from the rest of the awards season as the ceremony tends to be held in September. Hollywood, however, was shut down for the better part of four months last year due to strike action by writers and performers, leading the awards show to be postponed.

Why are the 2023 Emmy Awards delayed to 2024?

Why has the Emmys been postponed?

Sunday 14 January 2024 21:31 , Tom Murray

Hollywood’s historic work stoppage among writers and actors, both essential to the Emmys, meant the show had a rare delay for an unprecedented four months.

Leaders of the Television Academy were among those breathing a sigh of relief when actors voted to approve their new strike-ending contract on 5 December and put a period on the entire stoppage.

With an autumn show date based around the traditional broadcast TV season, the Emmys have for years had some quirks based on the far more scattered schedule of cable and streaming. The delay makes those oddities even odder.

To give one example, the 13 nominations for Hulu’s The Bear are for its first season, even though the awards will be handed out six months after its second season dropped.
