The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were held Monday night, recognizing outstanding television and film from the past year.
The 2023 Emmys were postponed for the first time since 2001 because of a 118-day strike for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
The show began at 7 p.m. CT and was hosted by actor and comedian Anthony Anderson, known for his role on “Black-ish.”
Anderson paid tribute to influential television shows with a series of sets and bits referencing “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” “The Twilight Zone” and “The Facts of Life.”
Anderson’s mother assisted with hosting duties, having the designated role of “Playoff Momma,” who lets the winner know when their time is up.

The Emmys continued the theme of celebrating influential television throughout history by hosting multiple reunions, including “Cheers,” “The Sopranos,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Martin” and “Ally McBeal.”
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reprised their roles as co-anchors on “Saturday Night Liveʼs” “Weekend Update” to present Elton John’s win for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), awarding him EGOT status.
The 75th annual ceremony introduced new categories Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Scripted Variety Series in an attempt to separate news-based talk shows from sketch shows.
In nominations, “Succession” led with 27 for its final season while “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus” had 24 and 23, respectively.
“Succession” and “The Bear” swept the 2023 ceremony with six awards each, while “Beef” walked away with five.
