The restaurant tale “The Bear” took home three of the four Emmys for best comedy performance on Sunday, trailing only Jean Smart, who earned her third trophy for her starring role as an ambitious comedienne in “Hacks.”
Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach of “The Bear” won their second consecutive Emmys in the comedy actor and supporting actor categories. White plays chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, a man trying to turn his family’s Chicago sandwich shop into an upscale restaurant.
“This show has changed my life and given me faith that change is possible,” White said as she held her award onstage at the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.
Moss-Bachrach won his trophy for his role as Cousin Richie, a restaurant manager and father.
“I’m so grateful for this show and to work with these beautiful people,” Moss-Bachrach said as she thanked her castmates.
Both actors won the same awards at the last Emmys, which were held in January after Hollywood labor strikes disrupted the normal schedule.
Surprisingly, Liza Colón-Zayas earned her third Emmy for “The Bear.” She was named best comedy supporting actress for her role as chef Tina Marrero, winning in a contest that also included such legends as Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett.
Smart received a standing ovation when she won her third Emmy as septuagenarian comedian Deborah Vance in “Hacks.”
“I appreciate this because I just don’t get enough attention,” Smart joked onstage.
“Schitt’s Creek” stars Eugene and Dan Levy shared hosting duties, the first father-son duo to host the awards.
“If things go badly, my name will be called Martin Short,” Eugene Levy said seriously, referring to the “Only Murders in the Building” star who was in the audience.
Dan Levy joked that the Emmys were known as “the biggest night on broadcast television to honor movie stars on streaming services.”
In the drama categories, “Shogun,” a historical epic set in feudal Japan, was the favorite to take home the night’s top trophy for best drama series.
Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki won best supporting actress in a drama film for her role as Princess Diana in “The Crown.” Onstage, she said she didn’t write a speech “because I’m superstitious and I’m in a real bind right now.”
Billy Crudup, a conniving media executive on “The Morning Show,” took home his second Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series. He pointed to his “eye candy, my wife” — fellow nominee Naomi Watts — as he held up his trophy.
The winners were chosen by the nearly 22,000 artists, directors, producers and other members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
