On the night of September 19-20 in Los Angeles, the seventy-third ceremony of the leading television award Emmy was held by the American Academy of Television. This year's event was held outdoors in The Event Deck at L.A. LIVE. It is located behind the Microsoft Theater, where the award ceremony was traditionally held. Actor Cedric Antonio Kyles, known as Cedric the Entertainer, hosted the ceremony. HBO and HBO Max received the most nominations this year (130), followed by Netflix (129), and Disney+ (71). The Emmys are a significant award for television projects (like the Oscars for the film industry).
Emmy nominees are divided by genre: comedy series, drama, mini-series, reality shows, etc.
The absolute favorite of the ceremony was "The Crown," taking all awards in the drama series category. Among comedy series, "Ted Lasso" and "Hacks" shared four and three awards, respectively. The highest number of awards in the Best Mini-Series category went to "Mair of Easttown," but the top prize still went to "The Queen’s Gambit."
