In contrast, the 2023 ceremony, which was seen on NBC and broadcast on Peacock, had reached 6.3 million viewers, a figure lower than that of 2022.

Diversity
The week that passed also brought the long-delayed awards ceremony Emmy for the 2022-2023 television season. The ceremony was designed as a tribute to the medium, and featured reunions of the casts of shows such as “The Sopranos” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” But the most notable point occurred in the rebound on networks due to the degree of diversity, and the focus it had on the speeches: it was addressed with humor.
Jennifer Coolidge thanking “all the evil gays,” and Niecy Nash thanking herself and “all the black and brown people.” Two years ago, the hashtag #EmmysSoWhite It was a trend when the Television Academy did not give any important statuettes to people of color. But the trend changed and this year’s ceremony awarded a record number of other races in all the main categories: drama, comedy, series, reality and variety.

But it was the FX series (seen here on Star+), “Bear”, the one that swept television series: not only did it win the award for best comedy in its first season, but it won practically everything else: actor (Jeremy Allen White), actress (Ayo Edebiri) and supporting actor (Ebon Moss ), direction and screenplay (both for Christopher Storer).
