The outlet also reported that this year\u2019s show had a 1.0 rating among adults aged 18 to 49, which is the lowest score the Emmys ever received among this core demographic.<\/p>\n<p>The steep decline can\u2019t even be blamed on COVID aftermath. In 2021, there was a 16% increase in viewership compared to 2020. The Post notes that the last time the awards show gained double-digit results was in 2018 when it squeaked past that goalpost with 10.2 million viewers. This year the show was broadcast live from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles after going virtual in 2020 and filming in a large tent in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been a trend away from award shows in recent years, and the Emmys is no exception. While there were no major controversies at the 2022 show comparable to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards earlier this year, there also weren\u2019t any standout moments that would inspire fans to tune in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d got a lot of buzz for winning Outstanding Casting, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Supporting Actress. But that was tainted by an incident where comedian Jimmy Kimmel laid on the stage playing dead during the entirety of creator Quinta Brunson\u2019s acceptance speech. She was in on the bit and later professed she didn\u2019t care, but that wasn\u2019t enough to stop Twitter from coming after Kimmel with claims of racism and sexism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite men really are insufferable,\u201d one Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-men-really-are-insufferable-jimmy-kimmel-blasted-for-playing-dead-during-black-creators-emmy-acceptance-speech\">complained<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HBO\u2019s \u201cThe White Lotus\u201d was also a big winner Monday night, taking home awards for five categories for which it was nominated. \u201cSquid Game\u2019s\u201d Lee Jung-jae won for Best Actor. \u201cSuccession\u201d won best drama much to the disdain of \u201cBetter Call Saul\u201d fans who were hoping to see the show break its 46 Emmy nomination streak with no win curse. \u201cTed Lasso\u201d on Apple TV+ took home Outstanding Drama Comedy series.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most talked about jokes of the evening was at actor Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s expense. The 47-year-old A-lister has been mercilessly mocked since breaking up with his model girlfriend, Camila Morrone, soon after her 25th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZendaya just turned 26 last week, happy birthday,\u201d actor Kenan Thompson quipped during the broadcast. \u201c26 is a weird age in Hollywood. I mean, you\u2019re young enough to play a high school student but too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the trend of many other awards shows, the 74th Annual Emmy Awards saw a steep decline in viewership, delivering its lowest ratings yet.
