Scroll down for the complete 2022 Emmy winners list in all 25 categories, updated throughout the night as they were announced.
SEE2022 Creative Arts Emmys: Complete list of winners
“Succession” entered these awards with a leading 25 nominations, the most of any program in any genre. “Ted Lasso” was the top comedy with 20, tied with the leading limited series contender “The White Lotus.” But the lion’s share of categories were already decided at the Creative Arts Awards that took place over two ceremonies on September 3 and 4.
“Ted Lasso” was actually the biggest loser at those kudos going 0-10. It can still rebound at tonight’s main ceremony and repeat as Best Comedy Series, but that was a major hit, especially the Best Casting loss to “Abbott Elementary.” It was actually “Barry” and “Only Murders in the Building” that won the most Creative Arts prizes for comedy. Over on the drama side the academy spread the wealth. “Euphoria” and “Stranger Things” led with five awards followed by “Squid Game” with four. Our odds on favorite to win Drama Series, “Succession,” won a single award for casting. “The White Lotus” dominated among limited series with five wins.
Our official Emmy odds, based on the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users, anticipated “The White Lotus” would take home the most hardware. However, the Emmys are prone to surprises. Were we right? See who the television academy honored below.
