2024 Emmys: 'Hacks' Wins Best Comedy, 'Shogun' Best Drama

At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, 'Hacks' surprised many by winning the Outstanding Comedy Series, beating out the heavily favored 'The Bear'. This victory marked the first time 'Hacks' took home this top honor, despite previous nominations. 'The Bear' still managed to secure multiple awards, including acting accolades for Jeremy Allen White, Liza Colon-Zayas, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. 'Shogun' made history by winning the Best Drama Series and set a record with 18 Emmy wins in a single season, also marking the first non-English language series to win this award. The controversy over 'The Bear's' classification as a comedy persisted, with viewers and critics divided on whether it fits the genre. Hosts Eugene and Dan Levy humorously addressed this debate in their opening monologue.
