Succession creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong delivered an acceptance speech for the show’s Outstanding Drama win that matched the show’s arch tone, at least in part.
“When partisan news coverage gets intertwined with divisive right-wing politics,” Armstrong ventured, before adding the quip, “After four seasons of satire, as I understand it, that’s a problem we’ve now fixed.”
Armstrong appeared utterly at ease on the Emmy stage, which is unsurprising given that the show won the top Emmy three times in its four-season run, plus armloads of additional trophies. “Thank you very much indeed,” he began, before acknowledging a number of parties individually, including HBO. “This wasn’t necessarily an easy show to commission at the beginning,” he said. He also thanked a number of cast members, including Bryan Cox, “around whom the show has revolved around” and Jeremy Strong, who “is shooting a movie.”
