Emmys 2026: Live updates, winners, best moments

Rhea Seehorn won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her performance in “Pluribus.”

Also nominated in the category were Carrie Coon for "The Gilded Age," Chase Infiniti for "The Testaments," Keri Russell for "The Diplomat” and Zendaya for "Euphoria."

Seehorn recognized her fellow nominees in her acceptance speech, calling them “all brilliant, brilliant performances.”

She said her fellow nominee Russell “sent us a lovely gift and a card, quoting -- sadly we didn't know we would lose her so soon -- but quoting Gloria Steinem, saying, 'We are linked, not ranked.'"

“And I feel that way about all you women," Seehorn said.

Women's liberation icon Gloria Steinem died at the age of 92 earlier this month.

"The Diplomat" star Allison Janney won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.

"I'm very surprised and very, very grateful to be here," she said in her acceptance speech.

Other nominees included "The Pitt" stars Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, Katherine LaNasa and Sepideh Moafi; "Paradise" star Julianne Nicholson; and "Pluribus" star Karolina Wydra.

Matthew Rhys won the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his performance in the haunting hit show "The Beast in Me."

In his acceptance speech, Rhys shouted out his co-star, saying the show was “certainly led ferociously, fiercely, fervently by the incredible Claire Danes,” and called her an “intimidating scene partner.”

Other nominees in the category were Riz Ahmed for "Bait," Jason Bateman for "Black Rabbit," Charlie Hunnam for "Monster: The Ed Gein Story” and Oscar Isaac for "Beef.”

"Hacks" actress Jean Smart won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series.

Smart thanked her family, Paul W. Downs and more in her brief speech.
