She also wrapped up the telecast by saying they had to go, as “Hacks” starts shooting in five days.

Eight minutes over — not bad as far as awards shows go, but not as tight as the January Emmys, which wrapped up at 7:57 p.m. Pacific to tonight’s 8:08 p.m.

“Shogun” is cleaning up the drama categories, winning its fourth Emmy of the night.

“The passion and dreams that we have inherited from you have crossed oceans and borders,” lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada said in Japanese.

The show received a standing ovation, as AP’s Kaitlyn Huamani backstage reports audible gasps in the press room and Beth Harris in the audience reports lots of whoops in the audience.

If you were waiting for the “Schitt’s Creek” theme, Catherine O’Hara’s arrival finally brought it. But not without a cameo from Annie Murphy, who “crashed” the stage for a Rose family reunion.

Bradley Whitford isn’t one to miss out on a “West Wing” reunion, typically — but this time, he was in Hungary.

“It breaks my heart not to be able to be with my West Wing family at the Emmys tonight or at the White House later this week to celebrate our 25th birthday, but I’m in Budapest on another White House set pretending to work for another administration,” the Josh Lyman actor wrote on X in a series of posts that made fun of his lack of range, remembered John Spencer (who played chief of staff Leo McGarry), and encouraged people to make a plan to vote.

The Oval Office-set show premiered 25 years ago. ”West Wing” stars Martin Sheen, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Allison Janney are presenting the drama series award.

After four previous nominations, actor Jodie Foster won her first Emmy, calling it a “incredibly emotional moment.”

“‘True Detective: Night Country’ was just a magical experience,” she said.

Foster thanked the Iñupiaq and Inuit people for sharing their stories.

“They just told us their stories, and they allowed us to listen,” she said. “And that was just a blessing.

Anna Sawai makes history with her win for “Shogun.” The actor, who is a first-time nominee, was tearful throughout her speech.

“I was crying before my name was announced. I’m a mess today,” she said.

“This to all the women who expect nothing and continue to be an example for everyone,” she added.

“I am beyond honored to be here with amazing nominees,” Hiroyuki Sanada said. “‘Shogun’ taught me when we work together, we can make miracles. We can create a better future together.”

Sanada received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Presenting lead actress in a drama series are the lawyer archetypes: Viola Davis from “How to Get Away With Murder,” Gina Torres from “Suits,” and Christine Baranski from “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight.”

The ominous score of “Baby Reindeer” is haunting the theater yet again as Richard Gadd accepts the award for best limited or anthology series. Gadd picked up the award for acting and writing the series, and his co-star Jessica Gunning won for her performance and the series cleaned up at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony.

Richard Gadd joins a small group of actors who have won two Emmy awards in the same year for acting and writing on a series for “Baby Reindeer.” He’s in good company with Tina Fey for “30 Rock” and Phoebe Waller-Bridge for “Fleabag.”

“You’re all crazy, honestly,” he said in his second acceptance speech before noting that he’s fellow nominee Jon Hamm’s “biggest fan.”

John Oliver, whose “Last Week Tonight” won for outstanding scripted variety series, said he was “honestly” happy to get the cue to wrap up when he mentioned his dog during his acceptance speech.

“I’m not well versed in sincerity, as a British person and as a comedian, so I didn’t really want to get upset and thankfully, whoever was on that board, I think said, ‘You can’t carry this off’ and walked me straight into a joke. So I’m very, very grateful that they gave me the parachute so I could avoid my feelings once more. But yeah, we had a great dog, and we had to say goodbye this week, and it’s brutal,” he said backstage.

“And now a TV archetype everyone in this room can agree on? Cops!” Dan Levy snarked.

TV cops are next up on the archetype celebration, with Jimmy Smits of “NYPD Blue,” Niecy Nash-Betts of “Reno 911!” and Don Johnson of “Miami Vice” taking the stage. The trio are joining forces to present the award for lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie.

Bob Newhart, the deadpan accountant-turned-comedian who became one of the most popular TV stars of his time after striking gold with a classic comedy album, died in July at 94.

▶ Read Newhart’s AP obituary.

Jimmy Kimmel has hosted the Oscars four times and the Emmys thrice. Billy Crystal has hosted the Oscars nine times. Neither could stay away from the Emmys as ABC took its turn airing the telecast.

Crystal presented the award for talk series and Kimmel paid tribute to Bob Newhart.

James Earl Jones died less than a week ago, but he’s been included in the Emmys memorial montage.

Nearly 2 1/2 hours into the show, food has run out for hungry audience members. The lobby concession stands only have drinks remaining. Emmy statuettes dot the lobby as winners take a break to chat and accept congratulations. The biggest crowds are in the restrooms, with mirrors jammed with those touching up their faces in the show’s final hour.

Jelly Roll has played sold-out shows across the U.S. and now the Emmys in memoriam stage, where he’s playing “I Am Not Okay.” But just recently, he played a different kind of venue: the Oregon State Penitentiary.

John Leguizamo took the stage to introduce the first Latino chair of the Television Academy Cris Abrego. Leguizamo, who has long championed diversity in Hollywood, took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times in June to call for the Television Academy to embrace equity and diversity in all categories at the Emmys.

“And for years, I didn’t complain about the limited roles my people were offered the spicy sexpot, the Latin lover, the maid, the gang banger,” he said. “It turns out not complaining doesn’t change anything.”

This year’s Emmys, Leguizamo said, included the most diverse list of nominees. Abrego thanked Leguizamo for using his voice for change.

“Well, there’s still a long way to go to address the opportunity gap,” Abrego said. “This year tells us what we all want to see, that we all want to see content that is in dialog with a real world.”

Olympians Ilona Maher, Caeleb Dressel and Stephen “Pommel Horse Guy” Nedoroscik take the stage alongside Paralympian Ezra Frech.

The Olympics air on NBC but Maher and Nedoroscik are competing on “Dancing With the Stars,” which premieres this week.

Jon Stewart, fresh off his win for “The Daily Show,” says he can’t leave the show (again) anytime soon in a backstage interview.

“My feeling is, this election will never end, so why would I, how could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until the election, until we’re all ground to some sort of calcified nub by the emotion of the moment,” he said.

Jane Lynch and Brendan Hunt are teaming up on stage — well, in a locker room — to present. Lynch, best known for her role of the tracksuit-wearing Sue Sylvester in “Glee,” and Hunt, the beloved Coach Beard on “Ted Lasso” presented the award for directing for a drama series. Lynch has won five Emmys, one for “Glee,” and Hunt has won two Emmys for his producing work on “Ted Lasso.”

In presenting Greg Berlanti with the Governors Award, Matt Bomer says the creator “has always given us big moments, ones that challenge us to be better versions of ourselves.”

“In everything he does, his impact on the LGBTQ community, on our industry and on humanity is immeasurable,” Joshua Jackson added.

As Governors Award recipient Greg Berlanti received a standing ovation, he shared a kiss with husband Robbie Rogers. Rogers was the first openly gay man to compete in a top North American pro sports league when he played soccer for the LA Galaxy in 2013. He’s also a producer on “Fellow Travelers,” a show nominated tonight.

After her win for best supporting actress in a limited series for “Baby Reindeer,” Jessica Gunning reflects on calling co-star Richard Gadd “reindeer” in her speech, using the same nickname her stalker character calls him in the series.”

We’re still extremely close and obviously we’ve come together quite a lot talking about the show since it’s been out,” she said. “He’s an amazing man, and I think some of the writing he did in the series and the story he told, especially in episode four, was some of the bravest piece of television I’ve ever seen or been part of. I’m incredibly proud of him. He’s just, really brave, brilliant writer and actor and person all around.”

Greg Berlanti, a television and film producer and director, receives the Governors Award, the Emmys’ nod for a long-running career in television. Berlanti, 52, is known for work as an executive producer on series including “Dawson’s Creek,” “Riverdale,” “All American,” “The Flight Attendant” and “You.” He has also directed movies like “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Love, Simon,” and is being awarded for “depicting the underrepresented” in his work, per the Television Academy.

He accepted the award from Joshua Jackson and Matt Bomer.

The Governors Award is given to a person or organization that has made a “profound, transformational, and long-lasting contribution to the arts.” Recent recipients include GLAAD, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, Debbie Allen and Tyler Perry and The Perry Foundation.

“For the past few years, I’ve been complaining,” John Leguizamo says on the Emmys stage, speaking about the history of poor representation for Latinos in Hollywood.

He spoke of the great diversity among tonight’s Emmys, shouting the Latino and Latina actors and creatives nominated.

While Leguizamo noted strides, reports have consistent found that Latinos are underrepresented in film and television.

“According to the numbers, the dominant narrative our industry puts into the world is that Latinos either don’t exist or they are poor, immigrant criminals,” Emmy winner America Ferrera said late last year at the Academy Women’s Luncheon.

Both accessorized their pink gowns with matching pink feather boas.

Eiza Gonzalez’s strapless plunging neckline was identical to one from Tamara Ralph FW24 Couture. Rita Ora’s was also strapless but the neck was less dramatic and the front was ruched as opposed to sculpted.

The similarities were hard to ignore. No immediate word from the designer.

Richard Gadd, writer, creator and star of “Baby Reindeer” is accepting the award for writing on the series based on his life. Gadd is also nominated for his performance and as a producer, with the show up for best limited series. “This is the stuff of dreams,” he said, contrasting the win with the darkness of earlier years that inspired the show.

Yes, “Happy Days” and “Saturday Night Live” are almost the same age. While the latter celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, its 50th season premieres later this month.

And to celebrate the 50th anniversary this year of “Happy Days,” Ron Howard and Henry Winkler, also known as Richie Cunningham and Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli, are having a happy day as they joined forces on stage in a near-perfect reaction of their hit sitcom’s Arnold’s Drive-In.

Winkler has been nominated for nine Emmys, three of those coming from “Happy Days,” but has only won once for “Barry.” Howard didn’t get any nods for “Happy Days,” but has received 13 other nominations for his work as a producer and director, and has taken home three awards and one honor from the Television Academy.
