LOS ANGELES — History was made at the 2022 Emmy Awards.
“Succession” headed into Monday night's ceremony with a leading 25 Emmy nominations, and won big with the best drama series award.
“Squid Game” star Lee Jung-jae made history as the first Asian actor to win lead actor in a drama series. He beat out the likes of Brian Cox, Jason Bateman, Jeremy Strong and Bob Odenkirk in the competitive category.
Repeat winners were the big theme of the night as “Ted Lasso” won its second straight award for best comedy series. What seemed like two dozen members of the cast and crew swarmed the stage as star Jason Sudeikis accepted the Emmy.
“This show is about good and evil, this show is about like the truth and lies, this show is about all that stuff, but it’s mostly about our response to those things and your response to our show has been overwhelming,” Sudeikis said.
Zendaya also added another Emmy to her mantle winning best actress in a drama series for her role as Rue in HBO’s “Euphoria” for the second year.
"Abbott Elementary" star Sheryl Lee Ralph stole the night with her win for best supporting actress in a comedy series.
In tears before gathering herself to accept the trophy, Ralph opened her acceptance speech with a powerfully delivered song. She was treated to a standing ovation as she was visibly overcome by emotion while taking the stage.
