The Best and Worst Moments From the 2022 Emmys
The 74th Primetime was a night of many winners as shows like "Succession," "Abbott Elementary," "Dopesick" and "The White Lotus" took home trophies. And while the wins and awards brought us to the telecast, some unpredicted side moments kept us there (or made us question why we stayed). The musical opening to different opening theme songs of nominated shows was ... interesting, but Sheryl Lee Ralph’s acceptance speech in the form of song and Jennifer Coolidge’s stalling tactic of dancing to the music used to play actors and actresses out of their acceptance speeches made up for the...…The 74th Primetime was a night of many winners as shows like "Succession," "Abbott Elementary," "Dopesick" and "The White Lotus" took home trophies.

Emmy Analysis: Voters Spread the Love for a Change, and Good for Them
BEATEarly in the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday night, host Kenan Thompson mentioned that the Emmys honored the hundreds of shows on television over the past year – “and we give awards to about five of them.”In the last couple of years, that pointed joke about Emmy voters’ propensity to throw lots of trophies at only a few shows would have been dead-on.
