The show’s triumph was a culmination of its successful run, including 14 Emmys from the Creative Arts Emmys. This achievement surpassed the previous record of 17 Emmys held by the 2008 miniseries "John Adams."

Despite "The Bear" winning four Emmys in total, including Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Jeremy Allen White and Best Supporting Actor for Ebon Moss-Bachrach, it was "Hacks" that captured the night’s major comedy honor.
The evening was also marked by notable wins in the limited series category. "Baby Reindeer" took home Best Limited Series, with creator and star Richard Gadd winning both Best Actor and Best Writing in a Limited Series. Gadd’s moving acceptance speech emphasized the importance of bold storytelling and exploring challenging topics.
Additionally, Jodie Foster won her first Emmy for Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role in "True Detective: Night Country," a performance that highlighted her versatility and dedication to her craft. Foster's gratitude extended to the Indigenous contributors involved in the show, underscoring the collaborative spirit of the project.
