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.

Niecy Nash-Betts won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or movie for "Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story."

"I'm a winner baby!" Nash-Betts said in her acceptance speech. "Thank you to the most high for this divine moment. Thank you, Ryan Murphy, for seeing me. Evan Peters, I love you. Netflix, every single person who voted for me, thank you."

"And my better half, who picked me up when I was gutted from this work, thank you," she continued. "And you know who I wanna thank? I want to thank me for believing in me and doing what they said I could not do. And I wanna say to myself and all you beautiful people, 'Go on girl with your bad self. You did that!'"

She added, "Finally, I accept this award on behalf of every Black and brown woman who has gone unheard, yet overpoliced. Like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor. As an artist, my job is to speak truth to power and do it till the day I die. Mama, I won!"
