The Emmy Awards saw "Widow's Bay" dominate the comedy categories, securing a single-season record of 14 wins, including best comedy series and best actor for Matthew Rhys. Rhys also won for best actor in a limited series, making him the first man to win two leading actor categories in the same year. "The Pitt" repeated as best drama series with Noah Wyle also repeating as best actor in a drama, but the show earned no other awards. Rhea Seehorn received her first Emmy for best actress in a drama for "Pluribus," while Jean Smart earned her fifth best actress in a comedy Emmy for "Hacks." Every other comedy award went to "Widow's Bay," which had previously won eight Emmys and swept its remaining six categories on Monday. "Widow's Bay," a horror-comedy created by Katie Dippold, also won for directing and writing, solidifying Apple TV's dominance in comedy categories. "Hacks" and "The Pitt," despite leading in nominations, had minimal wins, with "Hacks" only securing Smart's award. "The Pitt's" only other win was for best drama series, though it had won four awards at an earlier ceremony. Allison Janney and Tom Pelphrey won supporting acting awards in drama, beating out nominees from "The Pitt." "DTF St. Louis" won best limited series, with its stars having already won supporting acting awards at a previous ceremony. "Widow's Bay" was praised for its elite cast, featuring both newcomers and veterans. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" won best variety series, adding to its six Emmys this year. The telecast also included emotional tributes to Dolly Parton, Catherine O'Hara, and Rob Reiner.
