"Widow's Bay" won the Emmy for outstanding comedy series.
The other nominees included "Abbott Elementary" "The Bear," "Hacks," "Margo's Got Money Troubles," "Nobody Wants This," "Only Murders in the Building" and "Shrinking."
"The Pitt" won the Emmy for outstanding drama series.
R. Scott Gemmill, the series' creator, showrunner, and executive producer, accepted the award and spoke about the need to continue telling "honest stories about real human struggles."
"When I look around this room, I see something more important than the awards and the ratings," Gemmill said. "I see a whole community that is still trying to do the right thing."
He continued, "It is so hard to tell what is real and what we can believe anymore, which makes telling honest stories about real human struggles so much more important than ever. What you do, it changes people's lives."
Other nominees in the category included "The Diplomat," "The Gilded Age," "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," "Paradise," "Pluribus," "Slow Horses" and "Your Friends & Neighbors."
Jamie Lee Curtis took the stage to share words on Rob Reiner's legacy.
"He was generous and kind and funny as hell and a friend to all. And we all miss Rob and Michele, and all those we lost this year," Curtis said.
She also shared that with his posthumous Emmy win for his performance in "The Bear," Rob Reiner had broken the record for longest gap between acting Emmys, a title previously held by his dad, Carl Reiner.
The legendary filmmaker and his wife, a photographer and movie producer, were found stabbed to death in their family home in December 2025. The couple's son, Nick Reiner, was charged with the murders of his parents.
Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to murder charges and remains held on no bond. He is next due in court on Sept. 15 for a pretrial hearing. No trial date has been set.
Noah Kahan performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" during the "In Memoriam" segment.
The segment honored stars and others in the TV industry who have died over the past year, including Eric Dane, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, James Burrows and Bob Mackie.
