Emmys 2026 Winners - The Complete List (Primetime and Creative Arts)

The winners of the 2026 Emmy Awards have been unveiled. "Widow's Bay" won 14 trophies including Outstanding comedy series, setting a new record for the most wins by a comedy series in a single season.

The second season of HBO's "The Pitt" brought home six Emmys, including second consecutive wins for Outstanding Drama Series and Lead Actor (Noah Wyle). "DTF St. Louis" won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and six other Creative Arts Emmys, including wins for David Harbour and Linda Cardellini.

Vince Gilligan's hit sci-fi series "Pluribus" also won six awards, including Lead Actress (Rhea Seehorn) and Writing for a Drama Series (Gilligan). Jean Smart won her eighth career Emmy for her performance in the final season of "Hacks", tying Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman for the most acting Emmys ever.

Matthew Rhys made Emmy history, becoming the first actor to win in all three Comedy, Drama and Limited Series categories, and the first man to win two lead acting awards in the same year ("Widow's Bay" and the Netflix miniseries "The Beast in Me"). Rhys won his first acting Emmy in 2018 for his lead role in "The Americans".

Six-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox accepted the Television Academy's Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. It’s just the sixth time the honor has been bestowed since its creation in 2002.

The show aired live on NBC and streams on Peacock, and it was hosted by Mariska Hargitay ("Law & Order: SVU").
