Seth Rogen’s ‘The Studio’ Dominates Emmys with 13 Wins

Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series, “The Studio,” made a historic sweep at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, taking home a record-setting 13 wins. This impressive haul not only established the show as a critical darling but also cemented its place in television history as the most awarded comedy series in a single season, surpassing the previous record of 11 set by “The Bear.”

The show’s victory was a cumulative effort, with nine of its wins coming from the Creative Arts Emmy Awards held a week prior. “The Studio” then added four more major trophies to its collection during the main telecast, with Rogen himself personally taking home a significant portion of the awards.

Among the show’s notable victories were the highly coveted awards for:

• Outstanding Comedy Series: The series triumphed in the night’s top comedy category, beating out formidable contenders and solidifying its standing as the year’s best.
• Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Seth Rogen’s portrayal of a frazzled studio executive earned him his first-ever Emmy, a victory he said he was completely unprepared for.
• Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series: Rogen and his longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg were honored for their direction, particularly for their work on the lauded episode “The Oner.”
• Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series: The writing team, led by Rogen and Goldberg, was also recognized for their sharp and witty script.

The show, a satirical look at the inner workings of Hollywood, resonated deeply with both critics and the industry, and its monumental success at the Emmys proved that a clever, self-aware comedy can achieve both critical and popular acclaim.
