‘Succession’ and ‘Beef’ lead big wins at 75th Primetime Emmy Awards

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony was held on January 16 (IST) in Los Angeles. Hosted by comedian and actor Anthony Anderson, the over-two-hour-long show consisted of some surprise wins as well as some snubs. ‘Netflix’ series ‘Beef’, HBO’s ‘Succession’ and Jeremy Allen White-starrer ‘The Bear’ won big.

During the awards ceremony ‘In Memoriam’ section, which also featured late performers including Len Goodman, Andre Braugher, Lance Reddick, Paul Reubens, Barbra Walters, Kirstie Alley and more, ‘Variety’ claimed that ‘Friends’ actor Matthew Perry got an emotional tribute.

During the session, pop artist Charlie Puth and singer-songwriter duo ‘The War’ and ‘Treaty’ performed. Puth began with a rendition of his song ‘See You Again’ and then ‘The Rembrandts’ sang a pared-down version of ‘I’ll Be There for You’, which is the theme song from TV show ‘Friends’.
