At the 2024 Emmy Awards, HBO's 'Hacks' claimed the Outstanding Comedy Series award, surprising many who expected 'The Bear' to win after its record-breaking haul of 11 awards. 'Hacks' also garnered awards for Best Actress in a Comedy for Jean Smart and Best Writing for a Comedy Series, bringing its total to three wins from 14 nominations. Despite its accolades, 'The Bear' dominated the night with major wins, including Best Actor for Jeremy Allen White and Supporting Actress for Liza Colón-Zayas, who made history as the first Latina to win in that category. The competition included other notable nominees like 'Abbott Elementary' and 'Only Murders in the Building', but 'Hacks' ultimately triumphed in a night that saw mixed reviews for its pacing and excitement. The results have sparked discussions about category placements, with some critics arguing that 'The Bear' is more of a drama than a comedy. Overall, the awards reflected a diverse recognition of talent within the industry, leading to both celebration and controversy.
