Widow's Bay Wins 14 Emmys as Sally Field Upsets and Colbert's Late Show Stands Alone

3 articles · Updated · Hollywood Reporter · Sep 15

Summary

  • Apple TV+'s "Widow's Bay" emerged as the night's dominant comedy, finishing with 14 wins across Primetime and Creative Arts, including best comedy series, actor, supporting actor, supporting actress, directing and writing.
  • That surge came after the show arrived only in late April and gained momentum in June, benefiting from voters' appetite for fresh series over established contenders like "Hacks" and "Shrinking."
  • In drama, HBO Max's "The Pitt" repeated as best drama and won actor for Noah Wyle, but its 25 nominations did not translate into a sweep as Tom Pelphrey, Allison Janney, Rhea Seehorn, "Pluribus" and "Slow Horses" split major races.
  • Limited-series results followed the Creative Arts pattern: HBO's "DTF St. Louis" won best limited series, while Sally Field took actress for Netflix's "Remarkably Bright Creatures" and Matthew Rhys became the first performer to win 2 lead acting Emmys in one year.
  • CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" was the sole best variety series winner under a new 90% yes-vote area-award system, an outcome that suggested unusually broad support was hard to achieve.
