Saturday Night Live Just Won Big at the Emmys — Especially for Ryan Gosling's Episode
The show added to its record number of trophies on September 8, nabbing Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series and more.
The 2024 Creative Arts Emmys announced winners in 99 categories on September 7 and 8 at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles — and Saturday Night Live had a fantastic night, nabbing wins in directing, makeup, hairstyling, and more.
The show's 49th season earned 18 Emmy nominations in total, and three of their six wins are from Ryan Gosling's April 13 episode alone. Among the honors, they took home the Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program — which may not surprise you, given that the viral smash sketch "Beavis and Butt-Head" transformed The Fall Guy star and cast member Mikey Day into real-life replicas of the iconic cartoon duo.
While Maya Rudolph's nominated "Call Me Mother" monologue lost the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category, she did win her seventh Emmy for her voice work in the animated series Big Mouth — and she's still up for one more big SNL award later in September.
