The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were a respectfully understated affair given that audiences had already sat through the ceremony once already this year. The 75th Emmys, which were scheduled to take place in 2023, actually took place this February due to last year’s actors and writers strikes. There was no slapping – though Slow Horses writer Will Smith (not that
Will Smith) reassured everyone that despite his namesake he came “in peace” as he accepted the award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.
Father-son hosts Dan and Eugene Levy avoided any political levity as the US presidential elections loomed, delivering on their pre-show promise to keep things “light and bright”. Instead, they poked fun at the nominees, spoofing Martha’s creepy texts from Richard Gadd’s stalker drama Baby Reindeer for a skit about how older people struggle with technology.
The same could not be said for the celebrity presenters, many of whom used their time on stage to poke fun at Republican vicepresidential nominee JD Vance’s comment about “childless cat ladies”. “Let me say what an honour it is to work with two guys who are this far away from being childless cat ladies,” Selena Gomez said while presenting alongside her senior Only Murders in the Building colleagues Martin Short and Steve Martin.
