• The Bear (FX on Hulu)
• Hacks (HBO|Max)
• Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
• Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
• Shrinking (Apple TV+)
• What We Do in the Shadows (FX on Hulu)

Ray Romano and Brad Garrett falling right back into their old dynamic absolutely rules. “You know, if you were this funny back then, we coulda won a few more of these.”

Directing for a Comedy Series

• WINNER: Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, The Studio, “The Oner”
• Ayo Edebiri, The Bear, “Napkins”
• Lucia Aniello, Hacks, “A Slippery Slope”
• James Burrows, Mid-Century Modern, “Here’s To You, Mrs. Schneiderman”
• Nathan Felder, The Rehearsal, “Pilot’s Code”

The Studio is so good I’ve almost forgiven them for Preacher. God, their Preacher series sucked ass. Ruth Negga not guilty, though.

Writing for a Comedy Series

• WINNER: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, & Frida Perez, The Studio, “The Promotion”
• Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary, “Back To School”
• Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, & Jen Statsky, Hacks, “A Slippery Slope”

• Hannah Bos, Paul Thureen, & Bridget Everett, Somebody Somewhere, “AGG”
• Sam Johnson, Sarah Naftalis, & Paul Simms, What We Do in the Shadows, “The Finale”

On the one hand, Hollywood loves to laud stuff about Hollywood. On the other, The Studio really is that good.

Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

• WINNER: Seth Rogen, The Studio
• Adam Brody, Nobody Wants This
• Jason Segel, Shrinking
• Martin Short, Only Murders in the Building

• WINNER: Hannah Einbinder, Hacks
• Liza Colón-Zayas, The Bear
• Kathryn Hahn, The Studio
• Janelle James, Abbott Elementary
• Catherine O’Hara, The Studio
• Sheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott Elementary
• Jessica Williams, Shrinking

On the one hand, clear category fraud: Einbinder is a co-lead and it’s insane to argue otherwise. On the other hand, she did end her speech with “Go birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine!” so we’ll let it slide.

Guest Actor in a Comedy Series

• WINNER: Bryan Cranston, The Studio
• Jon Bernthal, The Bear
• Dave Franco, The Studio
• Ron Howard, The Studio
• Anthony Mackie, The Studio

Guest Actress in a Comedy Series

• WINNER: Julianne Nicholson, Hacks
• Olivia Colman, The Bear
• Jamie Lee Curtis, The Bear
• Cynthia Erivo, Poker Face
• Robby Hoffman, Hacks
• Zoë Kravitz, The Studio

…they could probably do something about the gender imbalance, though.
