The [2023 Primetime Emmy Awards](https://www.emmys.com/awards?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) have officially wrapped up - yes, *2023* even though it's 2024, because last year's actors and writers strikes pushed the ceremony to a later date - and we have all the winners, history-makers and nominees!

The evening opened with Christina Applegate appearing on stage. The *Dead to Me* star, who is living with MS, received a standing ovation as she walked on and greeted the audience.

*The White Lotus,* *Succession, The Bear* and *Ted Lasso* were among the TV shows entering the night with the most nominations and it turned out being a huge night for Succession - actors Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin took home the lead acting awards in a drama plus the series won the Best Drama, Best Writing and Best Directing categories!

*The Bear's*Jeremy Allen White and *Abbot Elementary's* Quinta Brunson took home the lead acting awards in a comedy series, making Quinta the first Black woman in over 30 years to win the category. (*The Jeffersons* star Isabel Sanford won way back in 1981!)

*Beef* stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun were named the lead actors in a limited series. Ali made history by becoming the first woman of Asian descent to win the category.

And Ayo Edibiri who won Best Supporting Actress in a comedy became the third Black woman in Emmys history to win the award.

*Wednesday* star Jenna Ortega and *The Last of Us* actor Pedro Pascal didn't take home awards but they also made a little history with their nominations. Jenna, who was up for Best Lead Actress in a comedy series, was the first Latina actress to receive a nod since 2008 when America Ferrera earned a nomination for *Ugly Betty*. And Pedro is the first Latino to be nominated for Best Lead Actor in a drama series since Jimmy Smits' nomination for his role in *NYPD Blue* back in 1999!
