<p>LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -“The Bear,” the story of a fine-dining chef trying to turn around his family’s Chicago sandwich shop, took several honors on Monday at Hollywood’s Emmy Awards celebrating the best of television.</p>
<p>Star Jeremy Allen White was named best actor in a comedy, and his co-stars Ayo Ededbiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach won supporting actress and actor, for the first season of the FX network show.</p>
<p>The series also won directing and writing honors and was in the running for best comedy series. </p>
<p>“I am so proud, so full of gratitude, to be standing in front of you all,” said White, who plays chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto. “I love the show so much.” </p>
<p>The top TV honors were broadcast live on the Fox broadcast network. The show was postponed from September because of labor disputes last year. </p>
<p>Jennifer Coolidge, who won her second supporting actress honor for playing a loopy vacationer on limited series “The White Lotus,” took the opportunity to thank “all of the evil gays,” referring to characters on the show involved in a murder plot against her character.</p>
<p>Several Black actors won awards at the show, which coincided with the U.S. holiday commemorating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.</p>
<p>Edebiri of “The Bear” thanked her family for “letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all of that.”</p>
<p>A jubilant Niecy Nash, a supporting actress winner for limited series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” hoisted her Emmy trophy in the air and proclaimed “I’m a winner, baby.” </p>
<p>“I want to thank me, for believing in me and for doing what they said I could not do!” Nash said.</p>
<p>Quinta Brunson was named best actress in a comedy for playing an optimistic teacher on “Abbott Elementary,” a show she created. She shed tears as she took the stage and was handed the honor by comedy legend Carol Burnett.</p>
<p>“I don’t know why I’m so emotional. I think it’s the Carol Burnett of it all,” Brunson said. “I’m so happy to be able to live my dream.”</p>
<p>Organizers were using this year’s milestone – the 75th Emmys – to honor classic television shows with cast reunions and other moments. </p>
<p>Host Anthony Anderson opened the show with a choir singing theme songs from shows such as “Good Times” and “The Facts of Life.” Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker joined to play the drum solo from “In the Air Tonight,” a song that aired during a pivotal moment in 1980s hit “Miami Vice.”</p>
<p>Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman and other stars of “Cheers” gathered around a recreation of the iconic bar set, and “Grey’s Anatomy” actors Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo spoke from a hospital room set up on stage.</p>
