Who doesn’t love a surprise ending?
The 76th Emmy Awards ended with a twist that saw the Max series “Hacks” best one of the night’s dominant winners – FX’s “The Bear” – to pick up best comedy. Don’t get us wrong, “The Bear” served up heaps of gold on Sunday, earning five Emmys, including three awards for its actors. But “Hacks” had, until the show’s final moment, only picked up two awards – one for Jean Smart and another for outstanding writing for a comedy. (Max and CNN are both part of Warner Bros. Discovery.)
In the drama categories, historical drama “Shōgun,” which was only the second non-English language program to be nominated in the outstanding drama category (the first was “Squid Game” was the first in 2022), picked up four awards, including individual acting honors for two its two stars and outstanding drama.
