76th Annual Emmy Awards: Every Viral Moment of the Night (Updating Live)

The 76th Annual Emmy Awards are going down just eight months after the last ceremony, which was pushed to January following delays from the Hollywood Strike. Going into this year's telecast, both The Bear and Shōgun are expected to dominate the competition -- meaning it's probably going to be a very good night for FX. Hosted by Eugene Levy and son Dan Levy, this year's event is sure to include a few shocks, surprises and unscripted moments. Check out all the highlights below -- we'll keep updating this post throughout the night! After an opening monologue from the hosts, Selena Gomez, Martin Short and Steve Martin hit the stage to present Supporting Actor In a Comedy to The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach ... and it didn't take long for everyone watching to start saying the exact same thing online. The trio's chemistry really shone through as they both celebrated and poked fun at each other with perfectly-timed jokes -- including one where Martin compared Short to a "former tennis women's champion." On X, the consensus was clear: Have them host an award show together, stat! The Bear won three of the first four awards of the night, taking home Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor in a Comedy Series right off the bat. Stars Ebon Moss-Bacharach, Jeremy Allen White and Liza Colon-Zayas started the show's early streak, after already sweeping at the Creative Arts Emmys last month. All three thanked their costars and family, with Colon-Zayas saying she ignored a suggestion from husband David Zayas -- who also played her husband on the show -- to write a speech beforehand. Becoming the first Latina actress to win in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category ever, she told all the Latinas watching, "Keep believing and vote, vote for your rights."

The 76th Annual Emmy Awards are going down just eight months after the last ceremony, which was pushed to January following delays from the Hollywood Strike.

Going into this year's telecast, both The Bear and Shōgun are expected to dominate the competition -- meaning it's probably going to be a very good night for FX.

Hosted by Eugene Levy and son Dan Levy, this year's event is sure to include a few shocks, surprises and unscripted moments. Check out all the highlights below -- we'll keep updating this post throughout the night!

Future Hosts In the Building?

After an opening monologue from the hosts, Selena Gomez, Martin Short and Steve Martin hit the stage to present Supporting Actor In a Comedy to The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach ... and it didn't take long for everyone watching to start saying the exact same thing online.

The trio's chemistry really shone through as they both celebrated and poked fun at each other with perfectly-timed jokes -- including one where Martin compared Short to a "former tennis women's champion."

The Bear Wins Big from the Start

The Bear won three of the first four awards of the night, taking home Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor in a Comedy Series right off the bat.

Stars Ebon Moss-Bacharach, Jeremy Allen White and Liza Colon-Zayas started the show's early streak, after already sweeping at the Creative Arts Emmys last month. All three thanked their costars and family, with Colon-Zayas saying she ignored a suggestion from husband David Zayas -- who also played her husband on the show -- to write a speech beforehand.

Candice Bergen, Cat Lady

Taking the stage to give out the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, Candace Bergen took a moment to reflect on Murphy Brown's legacy.

After sharing how much of an honor it was to play the titular role, she recalled how her character was attacked for deciding to have a child and raise it on her own after becoming pregnant. "Today a Republican candidate for Vice President would never attack a woman for having kids. So as I would say, my work here is done," she quipped, before adding, "Meow!"
