The 74th Emmy Awards, held on Monday, September 13, 2022, were hosted by SNL star Kenan Thompson, who began the ceremony by doing a dance number to iconic TV theme songs, including The Brady Bunch, Friends, and Game of Thrones.

Ted Lasso and Succession earned the top honors in the Comedy and Drama categories, respectively. Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, which had been up for 20 awards, won four awards overall, including Outstanding Comedy series and Best Actor for Jason Sudeikis, while the HBO original series Succession, the most-nominated title of the night, had three wins, including Outstanding Drama series.

Netflix’s hit South Korean show Squid Game was up for 13 and took home two trophies, in the acting and directing categories. Check out all the winners below. ~Alexandra Heilbron
