Meanwhile, though Anderson’s mom was a breath of fresh air when compared to award-show playoff music, she still cut speeches short, ending possibly stand-out moments before they even began in the name of broadcasting time constraints.
In the age of streaming, the FCC and time limitations of broadcast TV might not need to apply anymore.
The Emmy rotation among networks is in place until 2026. But with streamers like Peacock scoring record-breaking audiences for live events, there’s always a possibility the Emmys could make the jump off linear and leave constraints (and the need for Anderson’s mom to usher winners offstage) behind in the future.
Succession’s success
The 75th Emmys featured a diverse array of winners, and several shows—other than Ted Lasso and Better Call Saul—had big nights.
In addition to The Bear’s six awards, Beef brought in five wins on the night, including Best Limited Series. However, in its final season—and with 75 noms over its run—the most successful night belonged to Succession.
The series took home six Emmys, including the biggest prize of the night, the award for Best Drama.
