At last year's Emmys, Catherine O'Hara announced The Bear as the winner of the Outstanding Comedy Series, surprising attendees who expected a predictable lineup. Despite recent criticism regarding the show's evolving tone—leaning more towards serious drama than comedy—its win was celebrated by many in the industry. Competing shows like Abbott Elementary and Only Murders in the Building had their moments too, but the recognition for The Bear at a time of mixed reviews illustrates the unpredictable nature of awards and the nuanced sentiments of those involved in television production.
O'Hara declared the winner, and the show's contingent, led by creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, took the stage to jubilation from TV professionals.
The upset came at the end of a rough summer for The Bear, where some felt the show leaned harder into serious drama, losing its comedic edge.
