- Thanks to his Emmy win, musician Elton John is now considered the 19th “EGOT” award winner – an artist who has won the four most important entertainment honors: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
- At the 75th Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, the restaurant series “The Bear – King of the Kitchen” won the award for best comedy series of the year.
- The social satire “Beef” won five Emmys, including the award for “best miniseries, anthology and television film”. The series “Succession” was honored with the award for best drama series.
Elton John won the Emmy television award for his concert “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” as the best entertainment special of the year. The 76-year-old Brit had previously won five Grammy awards from the record industry, a Tony Award from New York’s Broadway Theater for the music of the musical “Aida” and two Oscars for film songs from “The Lion King” and “Rocketman”.
The 18 other personalities who have achieved an “EGOT” so far include Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg and most recently Viola Davis. The term probably goes back to actor Philip Michael Thomas, who announced during his time as Ricardo Tubbs in “Miami Vice” that he wanted to win the four awards within five years.
Jeremy Allen White: Best Actor
The two main actors Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, as well as Lee Sung Jin, also received awards in Los Angeles for best direction and best screenplay in a miniseries. In ten episodes, “Beef” tells the story of two strangers who get into increasingly aggressive arguments following a car accident.

The opulent media satire “Succession” won the Emmy for best drama series of the year. At the awards ceremony, the series regarding a declining family empire also won awards for best actor Kieran Culkin and best actress Sarah Snook, among others.
Television awards in 120 categories
At the Emmys, prizes are awarded separately for drama, comedy and mini-series, and entertainment programs are also honored. In total, there are around 120 categories in the world’s most important television awards. The event had to be postponed for several months due to the strike by writers and actresses in Hollywood.
