January TV 2024

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards

Another successful campaign

So, The Emmys happened! Trevor Noah hosted again, and I'm still unsure of how I feel about it. I like Trevor, but I feel like we could use another respectable Black person to host award shows. I mean, Issa Rae was right there. Anyways, the winners were predictable for the most part but the amount of wins The Bear racked up this awards season was INSANE. This is probably my most successful campaign yet.

Outstanding Comedy Series

Who I wanted to win: The Bear

Who won: The Bear

I'm a little sad that Abbott Elementary will probably never win this category again as long as The Bear is in the running. However, I LOVE The Bear, so I'm also happy with this win.

Outstanding Drama Series

Who I wanted to win: Yellowjackets

Who won: Succession

Okay, I'm not THAT delusional. Of course, I knew Succession had this category on lock. But, a girl can dream!

Outstanding Reality Competition Program

Who I wanted to win: RuPaul's Drag Race

Who won: RuPaul's Drag Race

Well, yes! I'm so glad I finally got into Drag Race because this is QUALITY television.

Outstanding Talk Series

Who I wanted to win: The Late Show with Stephen Cobert

Who won: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

Now, I don't watch The Daily Show, and I don't religiously watch The Late Show. However, Stephen usually gives the best interviews during press tours, so I wanted him to finally get a win. But I'm also not going to complain about the only Black person in the category taking the Emmy. Also, I'm just glad John Oliver is finally out of the category.

Outstanding Lead Actor

Who I wanted to win: Jeremy Allen White

Who won: Jeremy Allen White

I just KNOW Jason Sudeikis was bitter after Ted Lasso left with no main-category Emmys. I've never seen a single episode, but I'm relieved that the reign of terror is finally over.

Outstanding Lead Actress

Who I wanted to win: Quinta Brunson

Who won: Quinta Brunson

Yeah, that's queenie.

Outstanding Supporting Actor

Who I wanted to win: Ebon Moss-Bachrach

Who won: Ebon Moss-Bachrach

Again, Tyler will probably never win this Emmy again as long as Ebon is in the category, but Ebon IS the comedy, so I'm glad he was recognized for his outstanding work.

Outstanding Supporting Actress

Who I wanted to win: Ayo Edebiri

Who won: Ayo Edebiri

I really hope Janelle James wins an Emmy for playing Ava at some point during the series run.
