The 2026 Emmy Awards took place on Monday night, with Mariska Hargitay hosting.
Including awards that were presented earlier this month during the Creative Arts Emmys, the new horror-comedy “Widow’s Bay” collected the most wins this year — 14 — including for best comedy.
“DTF St. Louis” won the best limited series Emmy and took home awards in the supporting actor and actress categories as well as for writing and directing. In the reality television realm, “The Traitors” secured seven wins including for best host, for Alan Cumming, and best reality competition show.
The medical drama “The Pitt,” which had the most nominations of the night, triumphed in the best drama category for the second year in a row, and its leading man, Noah Wyle, again won the award for best actor.
