Shôgun and Baby Reindeer were the big winners at the 76th Emmy Awards. In a surprise twist, Hacks won the prize for Outstanding Comedy Series, but frontrunner The Bear still took home a number of other awards.

Hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the ceremony spotlighted groups of television archetypes, like iconic onscreen dads and memorable doctors. It also featured reunions for shows like Happy Days and The West Wing.

The whole audience was on its feet when Jodie Foster won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for True Detective: Night Country. With two Oscar and three Golden Globes, she's one letter away from an EGOT status.

To honour 50 years since the iconic TV series Happy Days premiered, two of its cast members, Ron Howard and Henry Winkler, reunited on stage. Billy Crystal took a couple of good-natured swipes at his long career as a comedian before he presented the Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series. While thanking the audience for their applause, he quipped, "Just great to be ... anywhere."

Kristen Wiig, Bowen Yang, Seth Meyers and Maya Rudolph presented the Emmy award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special and they used the opportunity to poke fun at Saturday Night Live boss Lorne Michaels ... because he's lost an Emmy Award 85 times. "Eighty-five times, it's just wrong," Yang said. "You do have value. You are worthy and you are not and have never been a loser, even though you have lost a lot," Wiig added.

It was the second primetime telecast of the year for the Emmys, as the 75th show was postponed from 2023 to January 2024 due to the writers' and actors' strikes.
