The 76th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place this past Sunday (Sept. 15) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, bringing together the TV industry's top talents to celebrate their achievements. The ceremony featured notable appearances from Viola Davis, Niecy Nash, and Susan Kelechi Watson, with Lamorne Morris headlines for his win in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category for his role in FX's "Fargo." Another evening highlight was Liza Colón-Zayas’s victory in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category for her performance in FX’s "The Bear."
