Succession won Outstanding Drama at the Emmys last night, for the second year in a row. It defeated crowd favorites such as Severance (a critics’ darling and a fan favorite), Squid Game (Netflix’s most-watched TV series in a foreign language), and Stranger Things (which holds the same record but in English). Over the course of its three seasons, Succession has become an awards season behemoth – one you simply expect to see score nominations and wins across multiple categories.

After helping Succession creator Jesse Armstrong avoid a Royal faux pas at the Emmys last night, the HBO show’s star may have committed one of his own per Hollywood’s unspoken etiquette.

The winners of this year's Emmy Awards, the most prestigious honours in television, have been announced. Succession, Ted Lasso, The White Lotus and Squid Game are among the shows that walked away with top awards.

There were tears and surprises at last night's Emmy Awards on Monday as Julia Garner triumphed for playing the role of Ruth in Netflix’s Ozark. It was Julia's third Emmy having won the accolade in 2019 and again in 2020.The star fought of other nominees to win the award including Patricia Arquette who was nominated for her role in Severance.

Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus were the victors in their respective drama, comedy and limited categories at this year’s Emmy Awards. In total, the trio bagged 12 awards at Monday’s ceremony, including the big prize in their respective fields.

Jesse Armstrong said it had been a “big week for successions” as his hit HBO drama scooped a top prize at the 74th Emmy Awards. In his acceptance speech for the final award of the night, the British writer suggested there had been “a bit more voting involved” in the show’s win than with the ascension of the new King.

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, who saw his HBO series take home four Emmys this season, made it brief, really brief, backstage.

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic The moment Sheryl Lee Ralph opened her mouth and let loose the first jaw-dropping note of Dianne Reeves’ “Endangered Species,” it was an Emmy speech for the ages. Quaking with emotion and palpably overcome, Ralph’s acceptance for her best supporting actress trophy was as impassioned as it was memorable — especially, perhaps, because she didn’t have to recite a litany of names before the timer ran out. Instead, a simple ticker of people Ralph wished to mention scrolled by in a chyron as she lifted her Emmy to the sky in triumph.   With most nominees appearing to submit names ahead of time in case they should win, the most memorable speeches of the night were freer to go off-script and embrace their moment, in the moment.

Instead, they whizzed by underneath as she told the story of growing up wishing “to see someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me.”
