Los Angeles, 13 September 2022 (tca/dpa/MIA) - "Ted Lasso" and "Succession" came away the biggest winners at this years Emmys on Monday night, as the awards show returned to LA's Microsoft Theater for the first time since 2019. The Apple TV+ favourite "Ted Lasso," about an English football team and their folksy American coach, played by Jason Sudeikis, took home the top comedy award at the Emmys Monday, the second year in a row. Sudeikis also won for lead actor in a comedy, while co-star Brett Goldstein failed in his promise to not swear during his acceptance award for supporting actor in a comedy. On the other side of the aisle, HBO's "Succession" was a predictable win for outstanding drama, while star Matthew Macfadyen took home the trophy for supporting actor as the hapless Tom Wambsgans, which he called a "bonkers gift of a role." "Abbott Elementary" star Sheryl Lee Ralph brought down the house with a stunning rendition of Dianne Reeves' "Endangered Woman" during her acceptance speech for supporting actress in a comedy series for playing the stern yet dedicated Ms. Howard in the ABC sitcom about an inner-city Philadelphia school. "To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn't, wouldn't, couldn't come true, I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like," the 56-year-old actress said in her acceptance speech. Zendaya also made history, becoming the first Black woman to win an Emmy for lead actress in a drama series twice and the youngest two-time winner of any Emmy for her role as the teenage drug addict Rue. "My greatest wish for 'Euphoria' was that it could help heal people," she said while accepting her award. "Squid Game" star Lee Jung-jae scored a historic win for best lead actor in a drama series, making him the first Asian man to win the award and the first actor to win for a non-English-speaking role. In one of the more competitive categories of the night, Amanda Seyfried won outstanding actress in a limited series or movie for the true-to-life role as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in "The Dropout." "The White Lotus" was a voter's dream, winning trophies for limited series or anthology, supporting actor for Murray Bartlett and supporting actress for Jennifer Coolidge in Mike White's farcical show about a Hawaiian resort and the awful people who populate it.
