Liza Colón-Zayas, who plays Tina on the Chicago-based series, takes her first Emmy, and co-stars Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are repeat winners.
“The Bear” came back for seconds at the Emmys, scoring repeat wins Sunday night for best actor, best supporting actor and best supporting actress in a comedy.
The star of the Chicago-based show, Jeremy Allen White, won best actor in a comedy for the second straight year, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach repeated as best supporting actor.
A surprise came when Liza Colón-Zayas, who plays Tina, won best supporting actor over major competition.
“How could I have thought it would be possible to be in the presence of Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett,” Colón-Zayas said as tears welled in her eyes as she accepted the award on the stage of the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
She is the first Latina to win in the category.
“To all the Latinas who are looking at me,” she said, “keep believing and vote.”
“The Bear,” made by FX to stream on Hulu, could easily repeat the performance it had at the January strike-delayed Emmys, when it won six including most of the top categories in comedy.
