Emmy night was a big one for a lot of different shows: Squid Game, Succession, Ted Lasso, The White Lotus. There were very strange music choices (why did Jesse Armstrong collect an Emmy for writing Succession and walk on stage to "Shake Your Booty"?) and bits that dragged on too long (especially Jimmy Kimmel's play-dead routine that lasted right through Quinta Brunson's win for comedy writing for Abbott Elementary). But there were also great speeches and encouraging wins, and we're here to look at five takeaways from the ceremony as a whole. (Here's a complete list of winners.)
1. The great Sheryl Lee Ralph won the night.
