00:07Baby Reindeer won big, history was made, we celebrated big TV anniversaries and archetypes,
00:13and there was plenty of political chatter.
00:15Here's everything that went down at the 76th Emmy Awards.
00:18Stars of some of this year's biggest shows graced the red carpet in downtown L.A.'s Peacock
00:22Theatre ready for the big night, which was hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy.
00:26The father-son duo kicked off the festivities with a little familial fun.
00:30Without question, my most rewarding dad role ever has been being your dad.
00:41In Schitt's Creek, because it got me my first acting Emmy.

00:51Baby Reindeer and Shogun, who already made history before the night even began, as the
00:56show with the most Emmy wins in a single season.
00:59The creators of Shogun actually had their scripts translated into Japanese, rewritten,
01:05and then translated back into English subtitles that you missed because you were also on your
01:09phone watching Sabrina Carpenter eat a hot wing.
01:13Big name presenters like Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short had the crowd on the
01:17floor before presenting Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy to Eben Moss-Bachrach.
01:22And when I see an actor I don't know, I just say, I loved your scene with Nicole Kidman.
01:27Other early wins of the night included Billy Crudup for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama
01:31Series, Elizabeth Debicki for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and Liza Colón
01:36Zayas, who made history as the first Latina actress to win Supporting Actress in a Comedy

01:42Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me a new life with this show.
01:47Throughout the night, the Emmys also highlighted character archetypes on television, including
01:51TV dads, TV moms, and TV villains.
01:54The downside is trying to have a nice, quiet, fine dining experience, and drug dealers start
02:00asking for advice on how to build their empires.
02:02Elsewhere, the telecast also celebrated 50 years of Saturday Night Live with Maya Rudolph,
02:08Seth Meyers, Kristen Wiig, and Bowen Yang, who praised SNL creator Lorne Michaels.
02:13We heard that our dear friend, our mentor, Lorne Michaels, has been nominated for and
02:18lost the Emmy 85 times.
02:22With the presidential election just around the corner, there was also plenty of references
02:26to politics throughout the night.
02:28Today, a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids,
02:33so as they say, my work here is done.
02:38Meow.
02:41Greg Berlanti was honored with the Governor's Award.
02:43There is no thank you that would ever, ever be enough.
02:46I wanted to be a part of television even before I knew how that was possible.

02:53I'm not okay, but it's all gonna be alright.
02:59Richard Gad won for lead actor in a limited series, and also gave an emotional speech
03:04for his writing win earlier in the night for Baby Reindeer.
03:07I don't know much about this life, I don't know why we're here, none of that, but I do
03:10know that nothing lasts forever, and no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better.
