Are there going to be any major surprises at the 2024 Emmys? Let’s just go ahead and say that we are eager to find out!

After all, this is the sort of awards show that tends to be a mixed bag. You want to see deserving winners and yet, it’s also nice to see a little bit of drama. Shogun and The Bear are considered two of the major favorites leading into the show tonight; without Succession around, it does increase the chances that we could see a few surprises in other spots.

Think about it this way: Tonight is the opportunity to learn how the Emmys feel about shows that are not involved with Waystar Royco! Who is to say what is going to happen? We are going to have some updates throughout the night, so be sure to refresh the page often.

Supporting Actor, Comedy – Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The Bear. It is still strange to see him without the Richie scruff! You can argue about the show being a comedy, but “Forks” was a magical episode of TV.

Supporting Actor, Drama – Billy Crudup, The Morning Show – Well, we already have our first major surprise of the night! We didn’t think he was going to get it this time.

Lead Actor, Comedy – Jeremy Allen White, The Bear. Once again here, we get back to a place of predictability.

Supporting Actress, Comedy – Liza Colón-Zayas, The Bear. This is all the evidence you need that this show is going to clean up. She beat both Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett!

Supporting Actress, Drama – Elizabeth Debicki, The Crown. You can argue that she delivered the standout performance of the past couple of seasons, and she totally delivered with an incredibly challenging role.

Lead Actress, Comedy – Jean Smart, Hacks. This is the first time tonight we’ve seen The Bear lose in a major category, but it is also hard to go against an icon paying a brilliant role like this.

Reality Competition Show – The Traitors. We have a new winner for the category! That rarely happens…

Supporting Actress, Limited Series – Jessica Gunning, Baby Reindeer. This was the first appearance of Netflix’s underdog hit on the list, and it may not be the last.

Scripted Variety Series – Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. For some reason, this is in the same category as SNL.

Variety Talk Series – The Daily Show. Even though he’s only hosting one show a week, apparently it does not matter — he still won!

Supporting Actor, Limited Series – Larmorne Morris, Fargo. Is this the upset of the night? If so, it is an absolutely thrilling reveal!

Lead Actor, Limited Series – Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer. He was as surprised as anyone to get it and spent plenty of time praising Jon Hamm.

Lead Actress, Limited Series – Jodie Foster, True Detective. Just the applause from the room shows how much people love her … and also how deserving this was.

Limited Series – Baby Reindeer.

Lead Actor, Drama – Hiroyuki Sanada, Shogun. It took a while to see the show get the expected recognition tonight, but this was a performance like no other.

Lad Actress, Drama – Anna Sawai, Shogun. She gave arguably the best performance of the entire year, so this is not a surprise.

Drama Series – Shogun.

Comedy Series – Hacks. Now, this is the biggest upset of the night! The Jean Smart series upset The Bear, which felt like it was a sure thing.
