The Emmys 2022 winners list in full: Squid Game makes history as Better Call Saul gets snubbed
A handful of shocks and surprises dominated the conversation at this year's Emmys
The Emmys took place in Los Angeles and, while Succession was once again the big winner, the main talking points revolved around Squid Game’s success – and Better Call Saul’s lack thereof.
Succession beat out the likes of Stranger Things, Euphoria, and Severance to once again land the award for Outstanding Drama Series. Squid Game’s Lee Jung-Jae became the first cast member of a non-English speaking series to take home the Emmy for Best Actor in a Lead Series, while Better Call Saul went home completely empty-handed. Actor Michael McKean, who played Chuck on the AMC show, tweeted "fuck that noise" after the ceremony, perhaps echoing the thoughts of many after Rhea Seehorn – who was largely seen as a frontrunner for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series – was overlooked by the awards body.
Here's the full 2022 Emmys winners list, including wins for Zendaya and Jean Smart, and a repeat success for Ted Lasso.
