Yahoo Lifestyle Emmy Awards: ‘Hacks’ Wins Comedy Series Prize As ‘The Bear’, ‘Shōgun’ & ‘Baby Reindeer’ Lead Field – Full List
Hacks was the surprise winner for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards tonight, its third triumph of the night. The HBO/Max show’s stunning triumph followed prizes for its Lead Actress Jean Smart and its writing team.
But it was a record-breaking Bear market for comedy tonight. FX’s The Bear won four awards and, combined with last weekend’s Creative Arts ceremonies, amassed 11 wins this year. That breaks its own record for Comedy Emmys in a single year after it scored 10 at the strike-delayed 75th anniversary show in January.
