Tadanobu Asano- Snubbed
Tadanobu Asano’s work in Shogun was seemingly overlooked as Billy Crudup ended up winning in the Best Supporting Drama Actor category for The Morning Show. However, his speech, mentioning his wife Naomi Watts was wholesome.
Liza Colon Zaya’s win- Surprise
The Bears’ Liza Colon Zayas took home her first-ever Emmy in Supporting Actress in Comedy Series which also included tough contenders, including Carol Burnett and Meryl Streep. The honor was well deserved and didn't provoke the thought that others deserved more than her.
OMITB- Surprise

Jodie Foster- Surprise
Jodie Foster won her first Emmy for Lead Actress In A Limited Series, for her role in True Detective: Night Country. The actress garnered a well-deserved standing ovation for the same.
Baby Reindeer- Well-deserved wins
Baby Reindeer, since its release, has been worthy of winning big time in almost all aspects, be it storytelling, acting, or casting. The show ended up collecting the trophies for editing, lead actor (Richard Gadd), supporting actress (Jessica Gunnings), producing, writing, and casting for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. And above all that, Gadd’s speech was a cherry on top.
