Succession,” which was nominated for the most awards of any series, took home the coveted best drama trophy.

While this year's winners are generally very impressive, there were also a few snubs. Here's our pick of the most notable moments.

She was up for two awards tonight – supporting actress in a drama series for Euphoria and supporting actress in a limited series for The White Lotus – but left empty-handed. Most stirring of all, though, was seeing Lee Jung-Jae become the first Asian actor to win the outstanding lead actor in a drama series award. Cast members Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seenhorn lost out again, meaning the show now has a 0 for 25 record in the Emmys’ major categories. In addition to the outstanding limited series prize, White himself collected trophies for writing and directing the savage six-parter. While the [winners’ list](https://www.nme.com/news/tv/emmys-2022-winners-rolling-list-3308386) was generally very impressive, there were also a few snubs along the way, as well as some history-making successes. [Emmys](https://www.nme.com/tag/emmys) returned tonight (September 12) with a three-hour ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Forget the fact that we're in the tedious 'Ted Lasso era' of the Emmys. Who really deserved their awards? And which win was nothing short of spectacular?

[Barry](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/apr/03/barry-hbo-breaking-bad-bill-hader-assassin-sitcom) didn’t win a single thing. The Emmys’ inexplicable fondness for [Ozark](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/may/02/ozark-farewell-crime-show-laura-linney-jason-bateman-byrdes-ruth) meant that Julia Garner won best supporting actress, when the award really belonged to [Better Call Saul](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/better-call-saul)’s Rhea Seehorn. Her win was entirely deserved, especially if it means that more people will watch The Dropout. What a stunning performance that was; it was as if Seyfried managed to physically alter her entire DNA a few episodes in. But I was wrong, and this was a victory for the ages. And nothing is safer than Ted Lasso, the comedy equivalent of rice pudding. The seas can rise, the mountains can fall, the sun can expand and swallow us whole, but the Emmys will still be there, doing its absolute best to do the exact same thing as it did last year. One of the knottiest, darkest, most stylish programmes of the last 10 years, hot off a season that rivals anything that has ever been made. We all know how the Emmys work by now. It turns out that, like it or not, we are now deep in the

We officially have our winners from the 2022 Emmy Awards, with some of the best of TV, including Ted Lasso and Succession, winning big.

The hugely popular series now has a total of 48 nominations, without having won an award. Supporting actor - limited series or movie Best actor - drama Best actress - drama Best actor - comedy Some online even dubbed it the ‘greatest Emmy speech of all time’. Best actress - comedy The stories that they share are not that unique. thank you very much. so my family never got to hear me say this,’ he said. ‘I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. Thank you, Squid Game team.

The 2022 Emmys handed out awards to Succession, Squid Game, Abbott Elementary, The White Lotus, Ted Lasso, Lizzo's Here's To The Big Grrrls and others.

Jean Smart won for Hacks for lead actress in a comedy series for the second year in a row. It's more an observation of public reaction than of the show itself, but standards seem to have changed for when a show has won "too much." Even a second or third win can seem rote by now, so bring on the new contenders, and we'll be glad to see them. Zendaya, who won the award for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for Euphoria two years ago, won again. Even the great Jean Smart, beloved by so many over such a tremendous career and absolutely marvelous on Hacks, might not have been the first choice of many people. The Emmys are starting to have an enviable problem: Even when people disagree with the outcome of a contest, it might be less that a show is undeserving and more that there's simply something else that deserves a shot in a stacked category. Lee Jung-jae won lead actor in a drama series for Squid Game, the first Asian man to ever be so honored. Amanda Seyfried took lead actress for The Dropout and Michael Keaton won for lead actor in Dopesick. Plus, Ted Lasso actors Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein won again in the lead and supporting categories. Perhaps the nicest surprise was Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, which broke RuPaul's Drag Race streak of four wins in the reality competition category. But there were also great speeches and encouraging wins, and we're here to look at five takeaways from the ceremony as a whole. At the same time winners fought for spare seconds, dull montages that were little more than "here are some TV shows" were allowed to linger, as were scripted bits that seemed less satisfying than the cut-off speeches, even when those sketches were performed by able comedians like host Kenan Thompson and the very funny Bowen Yang.

Here are the winners at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, with Succession, Ted Lasso, and The White Lotus leading nominees.

Jennifer Coolidge, “The White Lotus” - WINNER Smith-Cameron, “Succession” Zendaya, “Euphoria” - WINNER "I am an endangered species, but I sing no victims' songs. [Netflix ](https://www.hellomagazine.com/tags/netflix/)series Squid Game also picked up three with star Lee Jung-Jae making history as he became the first actor from a non-English show to win in the best actor in a drama series category. However on the night Succession won only three including outstanding drama series and Matthew Macfadyen the only acting win for the series.

Zendaya made history, Lizzo ended Drag Race's winning streak, and The White Lotus dominated at the 2022 Emmys.

She’s also the first Black woman to win the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series twice. And after her Grammys successes, she’s now half-way to an EGOT. Quinta Brunson was yet another history-maker at the 2022 Emmys – she picked up the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for Abbott Elementary, making her only the second Black woman to win in that category. The actress won in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the sitcom, which quickly won critical acclaim when it debuted on ABC. [#QuintaBrunson]stepping over [#JimmyKimmel]who literally laid in her spotlight on the day she won an Emmy isn’t a metaphor for what it means to be a WOC in a white mans world I don’t know what is. [won the entire night](https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/09/13/emmys-sheryl-lee-ralph-speech-song/) with her powerful acceptance speech and her rendition of “Endangered Species” at the Emmy Awards. Murray Bartlett, who won a new legion of fans by doing a whole lot of rimming in The White Lotus, took home the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, and it was truly a moment to behold. “When I was a little girl all I wanted to see was me in the media – someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me.” In a moving acceptance speech, Zendaya thanked the cast and crew of Euphoria for creating a “safe space” to make what she described as a “very difficult show”. Taking to the stage, Lizzo delivered a plea to the television industry to “tell more stories”. “I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know that I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me and I carry them with her.” Zendaya, who is just 26, won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the second time for her star-making turn in Euphoria.

Here are the best looks as stars from The White Lotus to Succession hit the red carpet at the 74th annual Emmy awards in Los Angeles.

There were few surprises – and a few standout speeches – for a telecast that handed out trophies mostly to repeat winners and clear favourites.

As with last year, the Emmys packed in over 25 awards around occasional bits from Thompson (as well as announcer Sam Jay), and a special Governor’s Award to the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which has worked to increase representation for women in front of an behind the camera. Squid Game, the first non-English language series ever nominated for best drama, kept Succession from taking a full sweep with wins for director Hwang Dong-hyuk and star Lee Jung-jae, the first person to win an acting award for a non-English language performance. Ralph, a 40-plus year veteran of the screen and first-time winner, took advantage of the Emmys’ pre-submitted thank yous that ticked on-screen below acceptance speeches and provided arguably the emotional highlight of the evening with a rendition of Endangered Species by Dianne Reeves. Noting that her “greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people”, the 26-year-old Dune star acknowledged those who shared stories related to her character, Rue, who struggles with addiction in the prestige HBO teen soap. HBO’s limited series The White Lotus, tied with Ted Lasso for second with 20 nominations apiece, swept all the awards for which it was nominated (the ensemble series about privilege and perversion at Hawaiian resort submitted all its performers to the supporting categories). The bit-packed show, hosted by Saturday Night Live veteran Kenan Thompson, included several back-to-back wins – Hacks’s Jean Smart for comedy actress, Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis for comedy actor and co-star Brett Goldstein as supporting – as well as repeat nods from previous years.

Like Rihanna and the Met Gala, Zendaya is fast becoming the indisputable queen of the Emmys red carpet. One of one, number one, the only one. American Horror Story’s Sarah Paulson walked the Emmys red carpet in a custom two-piece Louis Vuitton look – a square cropped top and a ruched skirt with peplum waist. There were winners, there were losers, there were jaw-dropping moments and a couple of head-scratchers.

It hit me far worse than I thought it would and the enormous pressure that our king has on his shoulders now. Former Roseanne star Laurie Metcalf took best guest actress in a comedy show too.

Brett Goldstein, who plays sweary Roy Kent, relapses into profanity in 'second-chance' acceptance speech.

Goldstein, who was born in Sutton, Surrey, and studied film at Warwick University, was hired as a writer by the Ted Lasso team. Jason Sudeikis, the show’s creator and star, won best lead actor in a comedy series. Ted Lasso centres on an eponymous NFL coach who moves to England to coach a struggling Premier League football team.

The Emmys tend to go all in on their favorite shows—nearly the entire casts of Schitt's Creek or Ted Lasso winning, or a multi-hyphenate like Waller-Bridge ...

They are why we watch awards shows and for the most part they delivered—a reminder that, even at the Emmys’ most redundant or sloppy, good TV can come out of giving actors shiny things. Sheryl Lee Ralph’s bracing win for comedy supporting-actress was a huge surprise in and of itself, but that had nothing on her astonishing speech—the best I’ve ever seen at the Emmys, and maybe any awards show. Winners were played off more egregiously than usual; given too little time to bring on a translator, for the Squid Game winners, say, or in the case of Jennifer Coolidge, barely giving her a second before cranking the play-off music up. As if anticipating hearing the same walk-up music over and over again, as has happened in years past—will we ever get the Schitt’s Creek theme song out of our heads?—a newly installed DJ played a bizarre, often discordant collection of top 40 hits from the past to welcome winners to their big moment. In an era of too much TV, the Television Academy decided a while ago to settle on a few favorites and call it a day. To the latter point, there was no Crown-level sweep; the most acting trophies that any show won was two, in The White Lotus and Ted Lasso; while most of the shows that always win won again, including Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, one streak was finally broken when Lizzo’s freshman Prime Video hit Watch Out for the Big Grrrls dethroned four-time reality-competition champ RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Jimmy Kimmel has been criticised for lying on the stage during Quinta Brunson's acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards 2022.

Best actor - drama I was happy it was Jimmy. ‘He was so excited it was going to be on ABC. He was the first person to message me on Instagram. The bit didn’t bother me.’ Brunson didn’t appear to be too bothered by Kimmel’s actions and speaking after her win said: ‘I don’t know.

At last night’s Emmys, Bob Odenkirk, John Turturro, Michael Keaton, Tony Shalhoub—all distinguished actors of a certain age—let us in on their secret: wear the classic suit, but also throw on a pair of sunglasses.

It also felt like the actors were having fun getting all dressed up, too, as evidenced by

When the house band played Lizzo’s song “About Damn Time,” Lizzo was front and center on the dance floor singing along — surely a boost to the ego of the house band’s lead singer. The warm-up MC, comedian Chris Spencer, who shared lots of other advice with the attendees and potential winners about what to do if they won, made a very specific point about any potential stage jumpers: “If any of you have the urge to come up on this stage, just know you will get your ass severely beat,” he told the crowd, adding that there were MMA fighters in disguise in the audience who would swiftly take down any potential stage crashers, famous or not. The upper half of the theater remained in row seating for the rest of us. But there was plenty of action at the 2022 Emmys that didn’t make it onto the broadcast, and Rebecca Ford, Joy Press, Natalie Jarvey and Chris Murphy were at the ceremony and the after-parties to catch it all. But this year, the orchestra part of the Microsoft Theater in Downtown LA was transformed into ballroom seating, with talent at tables that also included food and drink service. Pre-pandemic, the Emmys almost always featured theater-style seating, which put the talent in rows with the rest of the attendees.
