The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards are in the books, and the story is Apple's record-breaking night. But the ceremony itself drew sharp reviews, with Mariska Hargitay's hosting taking most of the heat.
The awards themselves were a clear win for Apple, with Widow's Bay setting records and comedy acting honors going to its stars.
Apple's 28 wins, including a record haul for a comedy series, is the headline. Widow's Bay's dominance is a signal that the streamer's bet on genre-blending comedy paid off.
Widow's Bay's 14 wins out of 19 nominations is a clean sweep. The Pitt and DTF St. Louis tying at seven each shows the spread of winners beyond the big winner.
Matthew Rhys's first comedy win for Widow's Bay caps a career shift from prestige drama to comedy, and it's a notable milestone for Apple TV+.
Jean Smart's five-for-five record for Hacks is unprecedented. She's now the performer with the most Emmys for a single series, which is a legacy-defining stat.
The ceremony around those wins didn't land, with critics panning Mariska Hargitay's hosting and the show's pacing.
The review argues Hargitay's hosting was a waste of her talent, with the script and a Taylor Swift cameo falling flat. The 'bicoastal' theme came off as disjointed.
