Complete list of winners at the 2024 Primetime Emmys

It was not a great surprise: three series won the most awards and applause at a gala that was held four months later than expected due to the writers' and actors' strikes. They were 'Succession', 'The Bear,' and 'Beef'.

 

High expectations for some...

But there were other winners too. And a little disappointment for series that had gotten a lot of nominations ('The White Lotus,' for example, which only grabbed an award thanks to this lady on the scooter). Click further to see the complete list!
