LOS ANGELES, CA — Julie Andrews and the late Rob Reiner were among the winners as Emmys in 53 categories of scripted programming were presented Sunday at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE.
Reiner won for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for his recurring role as a business adviser sought for help by Ebra (Edwin Lee Gibson), a line cook, about his sandwich operation on the FX on Hulu comedy- drama "The Bear."
Reiner was a three-time winner of what is now known as the outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series Emmy for his role as Archie Bunker's liberal son-in-law Michael Stivic on "All in the Family," including 1978, his final full season on the groundbreaking CBS series before he embarked on a movie directing career.
The other nominees were Michael J. Fox and Brett Goldstein for their appearances on Apple TV's "Shrinking"; Hamish Linklater for portraying the town founder on "Widow's Bay"; and "Heated Rivalry" star Connor Storrie for hosting NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
Reiner and his wife Michele were found fatally stabbed at their home in Brentwood on Dec. 14, 2025. Their younger son Nick has been charged with their killings and pleaded not guilty.
Andrews won for outstanding character voice-over performance for the second consecutive year for being the voice of the anonymous newsletter columnist Lady Whistledown on `Bridgerton.
Andrews has been nominated in the category all five times Netflix's steamy alternate history period drama has been eligible.
The other acting winners were "DTF St. Louis" castmates Linda Cardellini and David Harbour for outstanding supporting actress and supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie; Shaliene Woodley ("Paradise") for outstanding guest actress in a drama series; Ernest Harden Jr. ("The Pitt") for outstanding guest actor in a drama series; and Betty Gilpin ("Widow's Bay") for guest actress in a comedy series.
"Widow's Bay" was Sunday's top winner with eight statuettes while `DTF St. Louis was second with six.
In addition to Gilpin's victory, the Apple TV comedy horror series also won for casting for a comedy series; cinematography for a series (half- hour); production design for a narrative program (half-hour); music composition for a series; music supervision; sound editing for a comedy or drama series (half-hour) and animation; and sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (half- hour) and animation.
The ceremony also included the presentation of the Television Academy's inaugural Legacy Award to the groundbreaking 1951-57 CBS comedy "I Love Lucy."
The 78th Emmy Awards began Saturday with the presentation of 49 awards for reality, nonfiction and variety programming and mainly in such technical categories as picture editing, sound mixing and lighting.
The awards presented Saturday and Sunday had been known as the Creative Arts Emmys, but a shift of seven awards from what had been known as the Primetime Emmy Awards to the earlier ceremonies prompted the recent rebranding of all three ceremonies to the 78th Emmy Awards.
The awards that were shifted were writing for a variety series, supporting actor and actress in a limited or anthology series or movie; directing for a limited or anthology series or movie; writing in a limited or anthology series or movie; and variety special (live).
The shift of the awards was prompted by what the Television Academy called an attempt to freshen what had been known as the Primetime Emmy Awards.
The Saturday and Sunday ceremonies will be edited into a single broadcast that will air at 8 p.m. Saturday on FXX and stream on Hulu the following day.
Awards in the top 19 categories will be presented Sept. 14, also at the Peacock Theater.
