Emmy Awards 2024 recap: Biggest moments from the 76th annual awards show

Jelly Roll delivered a moving rendition of his song "I Am Not Okay" during the night's "In Memoriam" segment.

Before his performance, he said, "I believe that music is therapeutic. I believe that music can heal. I also believe that storytelling is just as cathartic."

He continued, "I hope that this song can act as a healing moment for those mourning the storytellers we have lost this year. If you are feeling lost or alone tonight, I want you to know that it's OK to not always be OK."

Some of the late stars that were honored included Martin Mull, Piper Laurie, Terry Carter, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Dabney Coleman, Richard Moll, Ryan O'Neal, Louis Gossett Jr., Gena Rowlands, Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty, Chance Perdomo, Carl Weathers, Richard Lewis, Donald Sutherland and James Earl Jones.

At the very end of the segment, Jimmy Kimmel paid a special tribute to the late comedian Bob Newhart, whom he said he knew personally.

"Bob was one of our most loved and funniest people, and we will miss him for many years to come," Kimmel said.

Jodie Foster called her Emmy win for outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie an "incredibly emotional moment," saying "True Detective: Night Country" was a "magical experience" for her.

She went on to thank the cast and crew, giving a special mention to her co-star, Kali Reis.

Foster said the message of her speech is "love and work equals art."

The actress also shouted out her sons, Charles and Kit, as well as her wife, Alexandra Hedison, whom she called "the love of my life."

"Baby Reindeer" star Richard Gadd dedicated his Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie to his parents in a speech thanking them for their support.

"Follow your heart and the rest will fall into place," he added.
