Yes, chef.
“The Bear” won the Emmy Award for comedy series on Monday.
Although creator Christopher Storer was unable to attend the ceremony because he was sick with COVID-19, Matty Matheson, who plays the team's electrician Neil Fak, gave a speech that honored those in the real-life industry that the show portrays in screen.
“I just want to thank the restaurants as a whole, the hospitality as a whole,” he said before being interrupted by a long kiss from his co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach. “I love restaurants: the good and the bad. It's hard. We're all broken inside and every day we have to show up and cook and make people feel good by eating something and sitting at a table, and it's really beautiful.
“And all of us here can put on a show together, and it seems like we can make people feel good or anxious or triggered,” he added as the audience laughed inside the Peacock Theater at LA Live. “There are so many people who make this show happen every day, and it's really beautiful.”
When asked about the kiss backstage, Matheson said “it was nice.”
Created by Storer, who serves as showrunner alongside Joanna Calo, the hectic but meditative FX series centers on Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), a talented chef who leaves the world of fine dining to run a family sandwich shop after suicide. his brother's. The show beat out “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “Jury Duty,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Ted Lasso” and “Wednesday.” The win broke the streak of “Ted Lasso,” who has taken home the award for the past two years.
“The Bear” entered the Emmy race with 13 nominations. He also won awards for lead actor for White, supporting actress for Ayo Edebiri and supporting actor for Bachrach, as well as directing, screenplay, casting, picture editing, sound mixing and sound editing.
