1. The ‘Succession’ Farewell Tour Continues
Look, we all knew ‘Succession’ was going to sweep, right? But seeing them take home Outstanding Drama Series AGAIN just felt… right. It’s the perfect send-off for the Roy family’s chaos. I’m not crying, you’re crying. Still processing that series finale though, tbh.
2. Pedro Pascal Still Reigns Supreme

Okay, my heart! Pedro Pascal snagged Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2. He’s just THAT good, you know? His range is insane. We’re all just living in his post-apocalyptic world, and honestly, I’m okay with it.
3. ‘The Bear’ Was the Comfort Food We Needed
Outstanding Comedy Series for ‘The Bear’! YES. Chef’s kiss! This show is my ultimate comfort watch. The drama, the food, the sheer anxiety – it’s everything. Carmy is a mood, and I’m lowkey obsessed with Sydney’s hustle. This win? No cap.
4. Anya Taylor-Joy’s Stunning Win
Anya Taylor-Joy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for ‘The Queen’s Gambit: The Next Gambit’? ICONIC. She is just magnetic on screen. Every look, every line delivery – perfection. I’m still trying to channel her energy for my next Zoom call.
5. Did Anyone Else Scream for ‘Severance’?
Okay, I was PRAYING for ‘Severance’ to get more love. While they didn’t win the big comedy/drama awards, Outstanding Directing for Ben Stiller was a HUGE moment. That show is pure, mind-bending genius. We need Season 3 ASAP!
6. The Surprise Comedy Hit of the Year
Who saw ‘Abbott Elementary’ taking home Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series? Okay, maybe some of you did, but I was SHOCKED! It’s such a sweet, funny show. Quinta Brunson is a queen. This felt like a real win for genuinely good vibes.
7. The ‘Squid Game’ Comeback Was REAL
OMG, ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 FINALLY dropped and snagged Outstanding International Series. FINALLY! It was everything we hoped for and more. That cliffhanger though? Ugh, the waiting is torture.
8. Supporting Actor Chaos!
The supporting categories were WILD. Jeremy Strong for ‘Succession’ (obvs), but the Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Ayo Edebiri in ‘The Bear’? YES. She is just a force. I’m living for her energy.
9. The Unsung Heroes of TV
Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series went to ‘Beef’. Sach mein! That show was a rollercoaster. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun were phenomenal. It’s the kind of show that sticks with you long after the credits roll. So deserved.
10. That Shocking Limited Series Actress Win
Okay, I’ll be honest, I did NOT see Brie Larson winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for ‘Lessons in Chemistry’. She was good, but… was she THAT good compared to the competition? My hot take: it was a bit of a surprise snub for others.
11. The Most Stylish Acceptance Speech
Whoever won for costume design for that period drama? Iconic. The looks on the red carpet and during the acceptance speeches were next level. My Pinterest board is officially overflowing. Fashion goals, people!
12. The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Love
While they didn’t snag the big comedy series award, ‘Only Murders in the Building’ did win for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series. It’s about time! The wit and charm of that show are unmatched. Steve Martin and Martin Short forever!
13. The Most Emotional Moment of the Night
There was definitely a moment during one of the acceptance speeches that had everyone tearing up. Someone’s heartfelt thank you to their family? Total mood. These are the moments that remind us why we love TV.
14. The Internet’s Favorite Show Was SNUBBED?
Okay, real talk: where was the love for ‘Bluey’?! My absolute fave. It didn’t even get a nomination for Outstanding Children’s or Family Programming? Arrey yaar! This is a travesty. We need to talk about this injustice.
15. The Final Takeaway: TV is UNHINGED (in the best way!)
Honestly, looking back at these wins, it just proves how diverse and incredible TV is right now. From intense dramas to laugh-out-loud comedies, there’s something for everyone. What a night! We’re already counting down to next year.
