"The Bear” and "Succession” racked up the acting awards at Monday night's Emmys, Quinta Brunson scored an emotional and historic win for "Abbott Elementary" and the Netflix series "Beef” made its own mark with five victories.

"The Bear,” the FX dramedy about a squabbling family and a struggling restaurant at the center of the life of a talented chef, won best comedy series for its first season. The Emmys also heaped honors on its acting cast, naming Jeremy Allen White as best actor in a comedy, best supporting actress in a comedy for Ayo Edebiri and best supporting actor in a comedy for Ebon-Moss Bachrach. All three were first-time nominees.
