Primetime Emmy 2024’s biggest snubs and surprises

The Bear bears a major snub over a comedy series

The Bear which was surprisingly added to the Outstanding Comedy Series category, lost as Hacks, which is in fact a comedy show ended up bagging the award.


Seth Meyers- Snubbed

The anticipation of Seth Meyers taking home the Emmy was seemingly high as his name appeared for the first time in the Talk Show Host category only for Jon Stewart to grab the trophy after returning part-time on The Daily Show.

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.

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.
