"Succession," aired on HBO and centered around a fierce battle for control of a global business empire, won the award for Best Drama in its fourth and final season. "The Bear" received the award for Best Comedy Series at the ceremony, which was delayed by four months due to the Hollywood labor strikes last year.

After winning the Best Drama Series for a third time, creator Jesse Armstrong said, "The presentation of the final season of the series was a sad thing, but it was my pleasure to do it."
