Newman also, incidentally, deleted the post—which actually garned many replies of agreement, but presumably also left a bad taste in a few too many dramedy fans’ mouths. “I know,” she posted in reply to someone asking if that was necessary. “I took it down. Not my best moment.”
(Some of the hate included digs at her daughter being a nepo baby, a topic Einbinder has weighed in on: “Ever-present,” she quipped to Interview in May regarding the children of celebs. “Here to stay.”)
Newman clarified at 7:37 p.m., “I think the Bear is a great show but IMHO it’s not a comedy- not even a dark comedy.”
And then, a half-hour later, Hacks won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. So…
While The Bear didn’t repeat in the top category, Colón-Zayas will probably win again next year (or she should win something, whichever category embraces the hard-to-pin-down show) for the heartbreaking-turned-heartwarming Tina-centric episode that was one of the highlights of the polarizing and oft-heartbreaking third season that premiered this past summer.
Also during the Sept. 15 ceremony, Jeremy Allen White won for Outstanding Lead Actor and Ebon Moss-Bachrach took the prize for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, while Christopher Storer won for directing. Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal picked up guest actress and actor wins at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend for season two’s epic “Fishes” episode.
While Newman certainly provided a moment, look at all the candid moments you missed that occurred at the 2024 Emmy Awards:
