  "account": "At the early Emmy ceremony on September 6, the Apple TV horror comedy Widow's Bay took eight Emmys, boasting wins in cinematography, sound, music, and production design. The series, based on a small New England town dealing with a centuries-old curse, also saw Betty Gilpin win best guest actress in a comedy. The Pitt, HBO Max's top nominee with 25 Emmy nominations, secured four awards, including prosthetic makeup and best guest actor in a drama for Ernest Harden Jr. For his role as Louie Cloverfield, the alcoholic emergency room presence, Harden wept backstage. Veteran actors David Harbour and Linda Cardellini became first-time Emmy winners in limited series categories. Harbour's portrayal of Young Frank Underwood in The Bear earned him best supporting actor in a limited series, while Linda Cardellini won best supporting actress in a limited series. A posthumous acting Emmy for Rob Reiner, who passed away nine months prior, was awarded for his work on The Bear. Among other winners, Bad Bunny claimed his first Emmy for the Super Bowl halftime show, securing seven trophies.",
  "summary": "DTF St Louis also won big with six awards in the limited series categories, with co-stars and veteran actors David Harbour and Linda Cardellini both becoming first-time Emmy winners.",
