Other winners from the event include The Bear, another FX production. It picked up seven prizes, including acting wins for guest stars Jon Bernthal and Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis. Following the ceremony, Curtis told Variety “I'm the luckiest girl in the world. It's just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple [of] years that I get these opportunities, so I'm humbled and incredibly grateful.”

The show also won the Emmy for Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series.

The + documentary Jim Henson Idea Man picked up five awards, while Netflix's adult animated series Blue Eye Samurai took home four prizes. Other winners from the night include 's Only Murders in the Building, Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Netflix's Ripley.
