LOS ANGELES—The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards may have taken place four months later than usual due to Hollywood’s unprecedented strikes—but on Monday, Jan. 15, the show finally went off (mostly) without a hitch, despite some controversy surrounding host Anthony Anderson. The event took place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, and aired live on Fox. 

Highlights of the show included a standing ovation for Christina Applegate; an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) for Elton John; a moving tribute to Matthew Perry; and nostalgic cast reunions of shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Cheers, and Ally McBeal. Comedy series The Bear won big, along with Succession, and 2024 marked the first year in history that Black women received awards in both actress categories. 

Of course, the fun didn’t end with the last award; when the official show wrapped, Hollywood’s biggest TV stars let loose at the evening’s invite-only after-parties. The BizBash team was on the ground at some of the night’s most buzzworthy events, including Disney’s chic winter sanctuary-inspired fete and HBO Max’s eclectic bungalow bash.
