2022 Emmys: Full Winners List From Lizzo to 'The White Lotus'

The race to hear your show's name called as the winner of an Emmy Award gets tougher every year, by the sheer number of applicants alone. 

This year, for the 74th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, there were 171 drama series, 118 comedy series, and 61 limited or anthology series competing for those coveted trophies. The individual categories for talent, both on-camera (lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, guest actor, and guest actress) and behind the scenes (everyone from writers to directors to cinematographers, choreographers, and editors) ballooned even further, with multiple entries for each coming from the same series.

Needless to say, the almost 20,000 voting members of the Television Academy who determine the one winner in each Creative Arts and Primetime ceremony category have a huge — and unenviable — responsibility. 

There are so many shows and people to celebrate, the 74th Annual Primetime Emmys were split into three ceremonies: The two Creative Arts ceremonies took place over Labor Day weekend (Sept. 3 and 4), with the Primetime ceremony unfolding live from Los Angeles, Calif. on Sept. 12.

Some of the biggest prizes handed out during the Creative Arts events were the Outstanding Television Movie Emmy, which went to Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Metascore: 66); Queer Eye (Metascore: 76), which took its fifth consecutive Outstanding Structured Reality Program trophy; Love on the Spectrum (Metascore: 83), which won Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program; Outstanding Host for a Reality Competition Program, which once again was snatched by RuPaul, who is now the incumbent winner seven times over, having won every year since 2016 for RuPaul's Drag Race; and the guest actor races. 

During Creative Arts, the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series trophy was handed to Colman Domingo for Euphoria, and Lee Yoo-mi from Squid Game took the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series statue. On the comedy side of things, Nathan Lane won Outstanding Guest Actor for his performance on Only Murders in the Building, while Laurie Metcalf won Outstanding Guest Actress for her role on Hacks. 

The Sept. 12 ceremony included the top prizes in comedy, drama, limited or anthology, and variety series, as well as the annual Governors Award, which this year went to the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
