Winners for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Sunday in the US, in the second ceremony for this year, due to Hollywood’s labour strikes pushing back 2023’s event to January. Held by the Television Academy, the awards celebrate the best in television for the year.
Australian actor Elizabeth Debicki won the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her spot-on portrayal of the late Princess Diana of Wales in the sixth and final season of Netflix series The Crown – a performance which many would say had true ‘main character energy’.
Debicki was up against The Gilded Age’s Christine Baranski, The Crown co-star Lesley Manville and Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman and Holland Taylor, all from The Morning Show.
Debicki played Diana in fifteen episodes, from season five until the The Crown’s sixth and final season, which covered her relationship with Dodi Fayed and her shocking death in Paris in 1997.
In her acceptance speech, Debicki thanked The Crown’s creator Peter Morgan and the cast and crew – including hair and makeup which were so integral to portraying the most famous and oft-photographed woman in the world.
Debicki said, ‘Playing this part based on this unparalleled, incredible human being has been my great privilege. It has been a gift’,
Big winners at the awards also included Shōgun, FX’s adaptation of James Clavell’s novel set in 17th-century Japan, which took home a record-breaking 18 awards and made history as the first non-English drama series winner.
Hacks, Baby Reindeer and The Bear also won numerous awards across categories.
