'Luck and timing': Matthew Rhys on his historic Emmy Awards double win
Speaking to the BBC, the Welsh actor described the "surreal" experience of becoming the first person to win two lead acting prizes in one night.
Ratings for the Emmy Awards dipped nearly 10% compared to last year, according to data from NBC. The 78th primetime Emmy Awards drew a total of 6.7 million viewers, marking a decline after a couple of years of growth. The event, hosted by "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Mariska Hargitay, saw "Widow’s Bay" from Apple TV set a record by winning 14 Emmys for a comedy. "The Pitt" claimed the best drama award for the second consecutive year.
The Emmys telecast reached an estimated 6.87 million viewers on ABC, 7.42 million on CBS, and a low of 4.3 million on Fox in January 2024, following strikes involving Hollywood writers and actors. The telecast rotates among the four major broadcast networks each year.
