The 75th Emmy Awards were held on Monday night (January 15th) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. Originally scheduled for September 18th, 2023, and rescheduled due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the ceremony was hosted by Anthony Anderson and aired live on FOX. In lieu of play-off music, the Black-ish actor's mother, Doris Bowman, played the role of "enforcer" and nudged winners to wrap up their acceptance speeches. Falling in line with the Golden Globe Awards and Critics Choice Awards, Succession and The Bear were the big winners of the evening with six awards each—including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series respectively. Beef followed close behind with five wins. Quinta Brunson made history as the second Black woman to win the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on Abbott Elementary, becoming emotional during her acceptance speech. Isabel Sanford was the first Black woman to win the award

So the awards they gave out tonight are for a season long since over and in some cases replaced already by a new one. They were voted on last summer.
And because the Emmys had to wait so
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver beat Saturday Night Live and A Black Lady Sketch Show to win the first ever Emmy for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series.
