Emmy Awards recap: Biggest moments from the 75th annual awards show

The awards show saw several TV cast reunions and a new EGOT winner.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards honored the best in television Monday night.

"Succession," "The Bear" and "Beef" took home the top awards, winning for outstanding drama series, outstanding comedy series and outstanding limited or anthology series, respectively.

The three-hour telecast, hosted by Anthony Anderson, saw numerous cast reunions -- bringing together stars from iconic shows like "Martin," "Cheers" and "Grey's Anatomy" -- and paid tribute to those we've lost since the previous Emmy Awards, which aired in September 2022.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were originally scheduled to air on Sept. 18, 2023, but were rescheduled due to the Hollywood strikes.

Check out a recap of how the night unfolded.

Emmys end with clip of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech

The Emmy Awards, which took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, ended with a clip of the Civil Rights leader's famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

Host Anthony Anderson introduced the clip, which featured the closing lines of King's speech delivered Aug. 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" King says in the clip.
