“The Emmys: also know as broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services,” Dan Levy joked alongside his cohost and father Eugene during their opening monologue at the Emmys 2024. And while the Primetime Emmys honored a few of those scenarios (hello, first-time Emmy winner Jodie Foster), the TV Academy spread the wealth among 15 different shows—from returning favorites like The Bear and Hacks to new entries including Shōgun and Baby Reindeer. While those four series dominated the Emmys 2024 winners, several other titles got a piece of the pie with a single win. Below, see how to stream all of the major Emmy winners and revisit what prizes went to which shows.
Shōgun (FX/Hulu)

Winner: best drama series; lead actor in a drama series (Hiroyuki Sanada); lead actress in a drama series (Anna Sawai); directing for a drama series (Frederick E.O. Toye)
Although Shōgun was frustratingly absent from the first two hours of the Emmys 2024 telecast, FX’s hit 17th-century epic about a pivotal power struggle in feudal Japan picked up four major awards in the broadcast’s final act. In addition to best drama series, an award that had previously been dominated by HBO’s Succession, the show’s leads—Sanada as Lord Toranaga and Sawai as Lady Mariko—were both honored, as was its directing. Heading into the evening, Shōgun had already broken the record for most single-season victories with 14 wins at the recent Creative Arts Emmys.
Baby Reindeer (Netflix)
Winner: best limited series; lead actor in a limited series (Richard Gadd); writing for a limited series (Gadd); supporting actress in a limited series (Jessica Gunning)
It was a big night for Baby Reindeer, the (very briefly) under-the-radar limited series from Scottish comedian Richard Gadd. Viewers—and, now, voters—have embraced Gadd’s deeply personal adaptation of one of the darkest chapters of his life, which included experiences with a stalker he names Martha (Gunning) and a previous sexual assault by a professional mentor. “I know the industry is in a slump right now,” Gadd said during his acceptance speech for outstanding limited series, before offering up series like his as a way forward. “If Baby Reindeer is proof, it’s that there’s no set formula to this. You don’t need big stars, proven IP, long-running series, catch-all storytelling to have a hit. Take risks. Push boundaries. Explore the uncomfortable. Dare to fail in order to achieve.”
The Bear (FX/Hulu)
Winner: best lead actor in a comedy series (Jeremy Allen White); supporting actor in a comedy series (Ebon Moss-Bachrach); supporting actress in a comedy series (Liza Colón-Zayas); directing for a comedy series (Christopher Storer)
Although The Bear’s third season just debuted in June, it was the show’s sophomore installment that captured four major awards during Sunday’s ceremony. White and Moss-Bachrach claimed back-to-back trophies for their performances as Carmy and Richie, as did their creator Christopher Storer, who during his acceptance speech for best directing thanked FX for investing in something they shouldn’t: “a restaurant.” Meanwhile, Liza Colón-Zayas earned her first trophy for playing Tina on the series—a category her costar Ayo Edebiri won last year before being bumped up to the lead lineup.
Hacks (HBO/Max)
Winner: best comedy series; lead actress in a comedy series (Jean Smart); writing for a comedy series (Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky)
It may have been a trophy shy of The Bear’s nightly total, but it was Hacks that emerged victorious in the best comedy series category for the first time in its three-season run. “I have no thoughts in my brain,” the visibly shocked Hacks cocreator Paul W. Downs said when accepting the award. The show’s first win in this category, which arrived with statuettes for Smart as lead Deborah Vance and writing for a comedy series, comes amid renewed conversation about whether The Bear should be classified as a comedy in the first place. “Being funny is central to what we’re trying to do,” Downs previously told VF when asked about the discourse. “It’s hard, because I’m also coming from the perspective of hearing feedback about the show, which is so nice…. We’re just trying to make something we would want to watch that people find funny.”
The Traitors (Peacock)
Winner: best reality competition program; best host for a reality or competition program
“We are so grateful because we are a new show—and you guys, you know when you like something, you tend to stick to it, which is a good quality—but we appreciate it all the more,” host Alan Cumming said while accepting The Traitors’ first win for best reality competition series. He’s not wrong: The Amazing Race won this category seven years in a row; The Voice had a three-year streak; and RuPaul’s Drag Race earned five of the past six years. If that track record suggests anything, it’s that Cumming (himself an individual winner for best host) and co. should get comfortable making acceptance speeches.
True Detective: Night Country (HBO/Max)
Winner: best lead actress in a limited series (Jodie Foster)
With two Oscar wins under her belt, it was Foster’s first time accepting an honor on the Emmys stage, for her role as no-nonsense Alaskan police chief Liz Danvers in showrunner Issa López’s first season with the anthology series. Foster thanked her costar Kali Reis, who played fellow officer Evangeline Navarro and expressed gratitude to the Iñupiaq and Inuit people of Northern Alaska. “They just told us their stories and they allowed us to listen, and that was just a blessing,” said Foster. “It was love, love, love and when you feel that, something amazing happens. It’s deep and wonderful and it’s older than this place in this time. That’s just the message, which is love and work equals art.”
Fargo (FX/Hulu)
Winner: best supporting actor in a limited series (Lamorne Morris)
Back in August, Lamorne Morris didn’t mince words when sharing his career aspirations. “Essentially, I want to be Morgan Freeman,” he told VF. “I want to be working forever, and I don’t want to have to go on these long hiatuses because people are tired of me or whatever. I just want to keep doing good work and working with great people and having fun at work, and my daughter loves coming to set, so I want her to keep coming to set. I want her to be able to see what daddy does for a living until she’s older.” With a surprise win for supporting actor in a limited or anthology series, Morris—who next stars as original Saturday Night Live cast member Garrett Morris, no relation, in Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night—got one step closer to that goal.
Ripley (Netflix)
Winner: best directing for a limited series (Steven Zaillian)
“I knew from the beginning that I wanted to have this high contrast film-noir style,” Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve Zaillian previously told VF of his approach to Ripley’s look, as lensed by cinematographer Robert Elswit. “We didn’t want to do anything that was familiar to us… I didn’t want to make a pretty travelogue.” He earned best directing for a limited series for his take on Patricia Highsmith’s enduring grifter tale starring Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, and Dakota Fanning as Dickie’s girlfriend/Tom’s nemesis, Marge.
The Morning Show (AppleTV+)
Winner: best supporting actor in a drama series (Billy Crudup)
Ahead of its upcoming fourth season, The Morning Show earned Crudup his second statue for best supporting actor in a drama series. Alongside series leads Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, Crudup plays the eccentric Cory Ellison, president of the entertainment division of fictional network UBA. He first won this prize via Zoom—during the largely virtual version of the Emmys held in 2020.
The Crown (Netflix)
Winner: best supporting actress in a drama series (Elizabeth Debicki)
Taking over for Emma Corrin, who played Princess Diana during the Netflix show’s fourth season, Debicki played Lady Di during her final days. “Playing this part based on this unparalleled, incredible human being has been my great privilege,” she said during her acceptance speech for supporting actress in a drama series. “It has been a gift. Thank you so much.”
Slow Horses (AppleTV+)
Winner: best writing for a drama series (Will Smith)
“First of all, relax. Despite my name, I come in peace,” the show’s coincidentally named writer said upon taking the stage at Emmys 2024. This Will Smith’s introduction on the main stage was long overdue. While Slow Horses, which stars Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden as M15 agents living in London, is currently airing its fourth season, this is the first major Emmy win for the series.
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (HBO/Max)
Winner: best scripted variety series; best writing for a variety series
Shifting to a new category last year—and away from the competition in best talk series—has done nothing to stop John Oliver’s staggering Emmys haul. His show once again bested fellow nominee Saturday Night Live and secured two more Emmy wins, bringing the HBO show’s total to 30 Emmys since 2014.
The Daily Show (Comedy Central/Paramount+)
Winner: best talk series
“You’ve made an old man very happy,” host Jon Stewart, who after helming decades of the nightly series now emcees Monday nights of the show, said at the start of his acceptance speech. As predicted, The Daily Show won for the second year in a row since Last Week Tonight moved out of the talk-series category. While onstage, Stewart praised series executive producer Jennifer Flanz, whom he said had been working on the show since 1998, when she started as a production assistant. He called her “the heart and soul of the team.”
Alex Edelman: Just for Us (HBO/Max)
Winner: best writing for a variety special
Edelman emerged victorious against Jacqueline Novak and Mike Birbiglia for his one-man Broadway-show-turned-comedy-special. Much of the material hinges on observations from the Jewish comedian’s one-time presence at a meeting of white supremacists in 2017. “I love my show. It’s the best, truest expression of myself,” he told Vanity Fair in April. “Which sounds really crazy, but I do think I’m the type of person that takes an hour to two hours to explain to people. But I’ve been doing this show for six years, with some serious breaks in between. It’s time for people to see it on the screen. It’s what’s best for the work.”
