  "account": "Los Angeles, September 15 - The gripping medical drama series \"The Pitt\" emerged victorious, claiming the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. This marks the show's sixth Emmy win of the year, outshining competitors such as \"The Diplomat,\" \"The Gilded Age,\" \"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,\" and \"Slow Horses.\" In the comedy category, \"Widow’s Bay\" secured the top prize, beating out popular shows like \"Hacks,\" \"Abbott Elementary,\" and \"The Bear.\" Star Matthew Rhys, who plays the mayor of an isolated and possibly haunted New England island in \"Widow’s Bay,\" collected a record-breaking 14 awards for his work on the Apple TV+ series. The Apple TV+ show's triumph surpassed the previous record for most Emmys won by a comedy in a single season, which was set just last year by Seth Rogen’s satire \"The Studio.\" The Apple TV+ drama series \"The Pitt\" also earned Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for its US actor Noah Wyle.",
