Emmys 2026: Red carpet and backstage with winners

FULL 2026 EMMYS RED CARPET FASHION AND INTERVIEWS AND BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWS WITH WINNERS A “Widow’s Bay” wave slammed into the Emmy Awards on Monday night as the Apple TV show set a single-season record for a comedy with 14 wins, including best comedy series and best actor for star Matthew Rhys, who personally took home three trophies. “The Pitt” won best drama series for the second straight year, and star Noah Wyle repeated as best actor in a drama, but the HBO Max emergency room drama won no other Emmys and underperformed its expectations. Rhea Seehorn won best actress in a drama for “Pluribus,” and Jean Smart won her fifth best actress in a comedy award for the fifth and final season of “Hacks." No actor had won an Emmy every year for a series that lasted more than three seasons until Smart did it Monday. Every other comedy award went to “Widow's Bay," which unequivocally owned the night and broke the comedy series record set last year by “The Studio” when it won 13.
