The Pedro Pascal-Fronted Video Game Adaptation Has Won Big, Leading With Eight Prestigious Prizes Ahead Of The Main Event Of The Creative Arts Emmy Awards On Sunday, January 7.
Beating off competition from fellow “The Last of Us” guest stars Murray Barlett, Lamar Johnson, and Keivonn Montreal Woodward as well as “Succession” ‘s James Cromwell and Arian Moayed to take the honour, Nick thanked his “magnificent” partner, Megan Mullally, for encouraging him to take on the role of paranoid survivalist Bill, and was delight to take home his first award after three previous nominations. He said, “Fortune presents gifts not according to the book.”
Meanwhile, Storm wept as she picked up her award ahead of more “The Last of Us” guest stars, Melanie Lynskey and Anna Torv and “Succession” trio Cherry Jones, Hiam Abbass, and Harriet Walter. The 20-year-old star tearfully said on stage at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre, “I’m such a mess! This is proof you can do anything. I’m just a young girl from Atlanta, Georgia.”
On the comedy side, Sam Richardson took the Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Edwin Akufo in “Ted Lasso” ahead of Jon Bernthal and Oliver Platt from “The Bear“, Luke Kirby (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel“), Nathan Lane (“Only Murders in the Building“), and Pedro Pascal (“Saturday Night Live“).
He gave a brief speech, in which he paid tribute to co-stars Hannah Waddingham and Toheeb Jimoh as well as Apple for “making the show and putting me in it.” He told reporters afterwards, “It means the world to me. Some of my best friends wrote it [Ted Lasso] … so it’s nice to come back to family.”
“Poker Face” star Judith Light won Guest Actress in a Comedy Series and paid tribute to her fellow nominees, “Saturday Night Live” host Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary” guest Taraji P. Henson, and “Ted Lasso” trio Becky Ann Baker, Sarah Niles, and Harriet Walter. She exclaimed, “What a way to start a new year!”
Elsewhere, Ed Sheeran scooped his first Emmy Award, taking Best Original Music and Lyrics in a Television Show for “A Beautiful Game”, from the show’s season three finale, but wasn’t at the ceremony to accept the honour.
“Wednesday” also won big, taking home five prizes, including Contemporary Costumes for a Series, Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour or More), Composition for a Series (Original Drama Score), and Original Main Title Theme Music.
The ceremony largely focused on the scripted awards that won’t be handed out at the Primetime Emmys on January 15 while the second installment of the awards on Sunday, January 7 will be largely devoted to non-fiction and reality TV.
