Congratulations are in order: The Bear just broke a major record at tonight’s 2024 Emmy Awards.
The FX comedy-drama nabbed 11 awards at tonight’s ceremony, beating their previous record of 10 awards last year.
With its 23 Emmy nominations, the Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri-led series broke the record in July for most-nominated series in the comedy categories, surpassing 30 Rock which had tallied 22 noms in 2009, according to Variety. HBO’s Game of Thrones has held the overall record since 2016.
The hit restaurant dramedy scored big with awards for lead comedy actor (Jeremy Allen White), supporting comedy actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), supporting comedy actress (Liza Colón-Zayas) and more.
White said the show "changed" his life in his emotional acceptance speech by instilling a "change" that he now knows is possible.
Showrunner Christopher Storer also accepted the Emmy for Directing in a Comedy Series and thanked FX for "investing in the first thing you probably shouldn't invest in: a restaurant."
The hit show follows Carmy (White) moving back from fine dining to his Chicago hometown after being tasked to take ownership of his late brother's restaurant. From there, he transforms the place into a fine dining restaurant of his own with aid from his family, friends, and right-hand Sydney (Edebiri).
