Like every year, not everyone was pleased or satisfied with the announcement of the winners of the 74th Emmy Awards 2022, which recently ended. It is appropriate to say that most TV fans were displeased with something.
Many viewers have voiced their dissatisfaction and displeasure on social media platforms and other places about some of the choices the Television Academy judges made while selecting the winners. The winners in a handful of the categories also happily surprised others.
With 12 significant nominations, “Succession” was the front-runner in the ceremony. Ted Lasso and “The White Lotus” came in second and third, receiving 11 and 10 nods, respectively. The winner of the evening’s top award was “Succession.” However, with five victories, “The White Lotus” was the most significant overall winner. ‘Ted Lasso’ finished in second place with four awards.

‘Better Call Saul’
‘Better Call Saul’, a spinoff of “Breaking Bad,” has probably been the best television programme for most of its life. The show’s plot was to follow a respectable man’s transformation into a less deserving and sleazier version of himself, mainly due to his actions. However, the show became much more than even its forerunner. It is still astounding to believe that the programme has not received a single “major” Emmy award (excluding Creative Arts Emmys), including the portion of its excellent final season. This is true even though its second volume will participate in next year’s Emmys.
Rhea Seehorn, if not Bob Odenkirk, at least deserved an Emmy for her continuously devoted performance in a show that did not centre on her character but that she yet made her own.
It should be noted that only Part 1 of the show was considered for this year’s prizes. Next year’s contest will be for Part 2.

Surprise
‘Ted Lasso’
Jason Sudeikis received his second consecutive Emmy for the well-liked comedy series “Ted Lasso” on Apple TV+. He got the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. This is a welcome surprise considering how “Ted Lasso” soothed many suffering souls during the Covid-19 pandemic. The programme provided a cosy feeling of belonging during global distress. The show also showed in its second season that it had greater depth than was initially thought. Sudeikis has guided the show as a genuine leader, giving other gifted performers plenty of room to shine rather than dominating the scene as many other actors would have.
Additionally, Brett Goldstein received a prize for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, earning him his first individual Emmy. He portrays the show’s gruff and grumpy but good-hearted Roy Kent.

Anthony Carrigan(‘Barry’)
Bill Hader’s HBO dark comedy series “Barry,” which stars Anthony Carrigan as NoHo Hank, has become a success. But regrettably, the Television Academy has not honoured his outstanding job. And that isn’t very pleasant. He was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series this year, but he didn’t win, despite deserving the honour.
Surprise
Mathew Macfadyn(‘Succession’)
In the critically praised HBO series “Succession,” English actor Matthew Macfadyen pulls off a mean American accent, but it is far from his only accomplishment. Macfadyen has built a character about whom we learn something new pretty much every episode with his portrayal of Tom Wambsgans. Additionally, rather than feeling like a dramatic persona, the character still has a human-like quality. It’s terrific to see exceptional talent being acknowledged, and Macfayeden is terrifyingly good in the part.
