Emmys honor Dolly Parton amid wins for The Pitt and Widow’s Bay

The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards recognized “The Pitt” as Outstanding Drama, while “Widow’s Bay” reportedly dominated the evening with multiple wins. Dolly Parton was honored during a tribute featuring Sally Field and a performance by Reba McEntire. Book-based productions also performed well, with “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” “Slow Horses,” “Palm Royale,” “Love Story,” “Bridgerton” and “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” earning awards in major and craft categories. The ceremony also coincided with news of the death of legendary costume designer Bob Mackie at age 87. Outside the winners, a Sydney Sweeney advertisement for Novig Sports drew criticism from current and former female athletes who said it sexualized women in sports.
