Baby Reindeer won a blockbuster four awards at the 2024 Primetime Emmys in LA on Sunday – with Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning triumphing.

Gadd, 35, was visibly emotional as he won the awards for Writing for a Limited or Anthology series or Movie and Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology series or Movie for the Netflix phenomenon – based on his own harrowing experiences of being stalked.

Martha actress Gunning, 38, won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie prize for her role as the crazed fan of Gadd’s Donny Dunn and the show also triumphed in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology series category.

Beating Black Mirror, Fargo, Fellow Travelers, Ripley and True Detective: Night Country to the Writing award, Gadd said: ‘Oh, wow. Thanks so much. This is the stuff of dreams. Thanks so much to the Academy. Thank you to Netflix for letting me tell the story to the world. 

‘Thank you to Petra, my brothers Matt and Ed. Thank you to all the amazing cast and crew, my amazing cast and team.’

‘Here I am just a decade later picking up one of the biggest awards in television, yeah. Now, I don’t mean that – I don’t mean that to sound arrogant. I mean that for anyone going through a difficult time right now to persevere. 

‘I don’t know much about this life. But I do know nothing lasts forever. And no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better. If you are struggling, keep going. And I promise you things will be okay. Thank you so much for this award.’

It was Gadd’s night with the comedian taking home his second award for lead actor, beating Matt Bomer – Fellow Travelers, Jon Hamm – Fargo, Tom Hollander – Feud: Capote vs. The Swans and Andrew Scott – Ripley. 

Gadd said: ‘You’re all crazy, honestly. Thank you. Thank you so much. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this one at all, and I didn’t prepare. I’m not Jon Hamm. I’m your biggest fan, as I told you last night over and over again. 

‘Thank you. Thank you to the directors, Veronica and Josephine. Thanks to all the people I mentioned previously as well. I’d like to thank my mum and dad, a glaring omission from the previous one as well. They’re the best. 

‘We’ve had trying times as a family and they have been there for me, a constant course of love and support. They never ever told me what I needed to do with my life and they never told me what I needed to be. 

‘I think that’s the greatest gift a parent can give a child. They always said follow your heart and the rest will fall into place. I think that’s good advice. Follow your heart and the rest will fall into place.’

The show also triumphed in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology series category over Noah Hawley – Lessons in Chemistry, Lee Eisenberg – Ripley, and Steven Zaillian. True Detective: Night Country.

An aghast Gadd was back on  the podium for a victory speech, saying: ‘Thank you so much. This is unbelievable. To our wonderful directors, wonderful cast and director. Amazing cast. I can’t believe I forgot to thank you guys. 

‘Look, you know, I know the industry is in a slump right now, and I know that it might force or put pressure on networks and stuff to tighten the purse-strings and broaden the But I do believe no slump was ever broken without willingness to take risks. 

‘I think if Baby Reindeer has proved anything is that there is no formula to this. You don’t need big stars, long-running series to have a hit. The only constant across any success in television is good story telling. Good story telling that speaks to our times. So take risks, push boundaries, explore the uncomfortable, dare to fail in order to achieve. Thanks so much for this award.’

Baby Reindeer enjoyed a stellar start to the night with Gunning’s win – which left her completely shocked.

She said: ‘Oh my Goodness me, blinking heck. Thank you so much. I honestly think I’m going to wake up any minute now and this whole thing has been a dream. Thank you very, very much indeed.

‘I’m so incredible proud to be a part of ‘Baby Reindeer’ so I just want to say a huge thank you to everybody who let me. Netflix and Clerkenwell films, Nina Gold casting, our amazing directors Ronald and Josephine, the show wouldn’t have been what it was without you.

‘Our incredible cast and crew, I loved coming to work with you all every day. It’s been a dream, thank you very much indeed.

‘Thank you so much to my agent… Thank you to everyone at prosper for all that you are and all that you do. To my friends and family, I love you more than anything.’

Jessica ended her speech with a heartfelt message for her co-star Gadd.

She said: ‘My biggest thanks has to go to Mr Richard Gadd – I’m going to burst out crying.

‘”I’ve tried so many times to put into words what working on Baby Reindeer meant to me and I fail every time so I’m going to sing… No, imagine! I’ll keep it simple and just say thank you for trusting me to be your Martha. I’ll never ever forget her or you, or this. It really means a lot, thank you Reindeer.

‘And thank you for this, I’m thrilled.’

Jessica took the award ahead of Dakota Fanning (Ripley), Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge), Aja Naomi King (Lessons in Chemistry), Diane Lane (Feud: Capote vs. the Swans), co-star Nava Mau and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country).

Baby Reindeer was created by Scottish comedian Gadd who also starred in the series alongside Gunning, who played his stalker Martha Scott.

The series was a hit and became one of Netflix’s most watched shows ever.

But the dark comedy thriller has came under fire from those who claimed to have been depicted by the series.

Fiona Harvey came forward claiming to be the inspiration behind Martha, alleging the story was inaccurate, and filed a lawsuit against Netflix.

At the beginning of the first episode, text appears on the screen which says: ‘This is a true story.’

In the drama, said to be inspired by the real-life experiences of Gadd, his character Donny Dunn is hounded by Martha after he serves her a free cup of tea in the pub where he works.

In the TV series, Martha receives a nine-month prison sentence and a five-year restraining order, which Ms Harvey has disputed.

MailOnline reported in July that Ms Harvey was demanding £135million from the streaming giant, claiming they spread ‘brutal lies’ because ‘it was a better story than the truth’.

Ms Harvey said: ‘The problem for Richard Gadd and now for Netflix is that Baby Reindeer is not a true story at all.

‘I am not a convicted stalker’.

Gadd was joined onstage by Gunning, and co-stars and nominees Nava Mau (Teri) and Tom Goodman-Hill (Darrien O'Connor)

Ms Harvey’s US legal representative Richard Roth said she has a ‘very, very strong case’ and he expects Ms Harvey, Gadd and Netflix executives to testify in court in California.

In a candid interview with Piers Morgan in June, Mr Roth said the fallout from the Baby Reindeer case ‘could be a watershed moment for streaming TV’.

Speaking about why he had taken the case, Mr Roth said: ‘[It] is really just reprehensible when someone says something’s ‘a true story’ […]. And if Netflix is going to say this is a true story, then it better well be true. And to do that is irresponsible of them.’

Speaking at Edinburgh TV Festival, Ms Mensah said publicity is ‘the antithesis of what I believe in’, when asked if the headlines about the show were good for Netflix.

She added: ‘I really believe the UK is this amazing place for content creators and the writers and the directors… and it’s 100 per cent about finding ways to take this space.

‘It’s not about trying to manipulate anybody (with) an algorithm. The truth is way simpler, which is the audience is incredibly clever and incredibly diverse, and they spot good and not boring.’

The HBO comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder ended the night on top over the FX series and a very impressive field for Outstanding Comedy Series which also included Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Reservation Dogs, Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale, and What We Do in the Shadows.

Regardless of falling short in the top comedy category, The Bear earned early honors for stars Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Colón-Zayas.

The 33-year-old Brooklyn native Jeremy took home major honor in the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series category for the second consecutive year.

He triumphed over Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Steve Martin, Only Murders in the Building, Martin Short, Only Murders in the Building, Matt Berry, What We Do in the Shadows, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Reservation Dogs.

During his acceptance speech Jeremy said: ‘Thank you so much. My heart is just beating right out of its chest. Thank you, thank you to the academy, my fellow nominees. I’m so honored to be in your company. Chris and Joe, thank you for choosing me. I am so, so, so lucky. I’m so grateful. Thank you. 

‘My beautiful cast, I love you forever. I love to work with you, and I just — I want us to be in each other’s lives forever. I love you so dearly. Joe, this show has changed my life.

The hunk concluded his speech by recognizing his family including his two children. 

He finished his speech by saying: ‘I thank this show. My parents, I love you. My sister, thank you for coming with me tonight. Ezra and Dolores, I love you so, so, so, so much. You are my heart. Thank you. Thank you, everybody.’

Jeremy portrays Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto as a young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich shop only to turn it into a fine dining restaurant on a quest for a Michelin star. 

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old New York native Ebon – who portrays Richie Jerimovich on the FX series –  earned the win in the Outstanding Supporting Actor An A Comedy Series category for the second year much like Jeremy.

He beat out an impressive field including castmate Lionel Boyce in addition to Paul W. Downs, Hacks, Paul Rudd, Only Murders In The Building, Tyler James Williams, Abbott Elementary, and Bowen Yang, Saturday Night Live.

He kept his speech short and sweet as he said: ‘Okay. Wow. Thank you so much. I don’t know what to say. I’m so grateful for this show and to work with these beautiful people. Chris, thank you so much. I love you so much. Joanne that, Josh, Tyson. I work with this incredible family every day. It is such a privilege. 

‘Lionel, liza, Mattie, all my little forks crew, Andrew and Sara and Olivia. Thank you, Jeanie for putting such a nice family together. Thank you to my parents. They’re taking such nice care of my cat. And thanks to my sweet daughters. Elena, I love you so much. You’re everything to me. Thank you.’

Ebon’s character Richard ‘Richie’ Jermovich is the de facto manager of the restaurants in The Bear who has a contentious relationship with Carmy due to his relationship with the chef’s late older brother Michael.

The wins kept coming for the critically-acclaimed series as  Liza Colón-Zayas took home Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series.

 The 52-year-old New York native – who is an actress and playwright – beat some high-profile names in the industry including: Carol Burnett, Palm Royale, Hannah Einbinder, Hacks, Janelle James, Abbott Elementary, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott Elementary, and Meryl Streep, Only Murders In The Building.

She was emotional during her acceptance speech as she said: ‘Thank you for lowering the microphone for me. Thank you so much. Thank you so my husband, David Zayas. He told me to write a speech, and I didn’t because I didn’t think it would be possible. ‘

Liza recognized her fellow nominees as she continued her speech:  ‘How, how could I have thought it would be possible to be in the presence of Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett and Janelle? Anyway, I love you all. I revere you to the bottom of my heart. And other women and my mommy. Mommy, I thank you. My family. My grandkids. Grandkids? Yeah, thank you. 

‘Thank you to my beautiful cast. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me new life in this show. And to all the Latinas who are looking at me, keep believing and vote. Vote for your rights. Thank you! Thank you. Gracias.’

In the award-winning series Liza portrays Tina Marrero, an acerbic and stubborn veteran line cook who embraces the opportunity to train professionally. 

The Bear was vying for a sweep of the comedy series acting categories but it did not happen as Ayo Edebiri was beat out by Hacks star Jean Smart in the Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series category.

In addition to Ayo, the 73-year-old Seattle-native also bested Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary, Selena Gomez, Only Murders in the Building, Kristen Wiig, Palm Royale, and Maya Rudolph, Loot.

And I appreciate this because I just don’t get enough attention. I’m serious. Okay. Anyway, no, thank you. I have so many, so many people to thank starting with our beautiful show runners. 

‘Thank you for thinking of me. I will never be able to thank you enough for thinking of me with this incredible role. And Casey and Sara and everybody at HBO. At Max– I’m sorry. Just what we needed, another network. 

‘But, sorry, anyway, this is — I’m going to honor tonight, my agent Scott Henderson of 30 plus years who is retiring and breaking my heart, the most amazing, cultured, tasteful, kind, funny man that never tried to talk me in or out of things I really didn’t feel great about. I wish you all the best. He’s going to bicycle through France because that’s better than representing me? I don’t know. Thank you. Thank you. I love you all. Thank you.’

In the series Jean portrays  legendary Las Vegas stand-up comedian Deborah Vance who must co-exist with down-on-her-luck comedy writer Ava Daniels (portrayed by Hannah Einbinder) as she makes a career comeback.
