The 75th Emmy Awards were held on Monday night (January 15th) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. Originally scheduled for September 18th, 2023, and rescheduled due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the ceremony was hosted by Anthony Anderson and aired live on FOX. In lieu of play-off music, the Black-ish actor's mother, Doris Bowman, played the role of "enforcer" and nudged winners to wrap up their acceptance speeches. Falling in line with the Golden Globe Awards and Critics Choice Awards, Succession and The Bear were the big winners of the evening with six awards each—including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series respectively. Beef followed close behind with five wins. Quinta Brunson made history as the second Black woman to win the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on Abbott Elementary, becoming emotional during her acceptance speech. Isabel Sanford was the first Black woman to win the award in 1981 for her role on The Jeffersons, according to The New York Times. Niecy Nash stole the show with her acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role in Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. "And you know who I want to thank? I want to thank me," she said. "For believing in me and doing what they said I could not. And I want to say to myself in front of all you beautiful people, ‘Go on girl with your bad self. You did that!'" Nash added, "Finally, I accept this award on behalf of every Black and brown woman who has gone unheard yet over-policed. Like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor. As an artist, my job is to speak truth to power, and baby I'mma do it till the day I die. Mama, I won!" Ayo Edebiri thanked her parents while accepting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The Bear. "Thank you so much for loving me and letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all of that. I just love you so much," she said. "Probably not a dream to immigrate to this country and to have your kid be like, 'I want to do improv.' But you're real ones." While accepting the award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program for RuPaul's Drag Race, RuPaul addressed the rise of anti-drag legislation. "If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her because knowledge is power and if someone tries to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you so listen to a drag queen. We love you, thank you," he said. Presenters for the evening included Tracee Ellis Ross, Natasha Lyonne, Ke Huy Quan, Colman Domingo, Marla Gibbs, Peter Dinklage, Jenna Ortega, Pedro Pascal, Jon Hamm, and Jodie Foster. Pedro Pascal got revenge on Kieran Culkin for saying "Suck it, Pedro" at the Golden Globes after winning Best Actor in a drama series for Succession. Explaining what happened to his "shoulder" while presenting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, Pascal joked, "Keiran Culkin beat the shit out of me." Christina Applegate received a standing ovation after taking the stage to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, causing her to tear up. This comes after she announced in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. "Thank you so much," she said to applause. "Oh my god, you're totally shaming me with disability by standing up. It's fine … Body not by Ozempic. Okay, let's go." Cast members from shows such as Cheers, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Grey's Anatomy, Martin, Ally McBeal, and Community all reunited onstage to present awards as well. As the show took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it ended with a clip of one of his most famous speeches from the March on Washington.
