The Bear stars celebration into the early hours at Emmys bash

The cast of The Bear celebrated their record-breaking 11 gongs at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards with an epic night of partying.

The giddy cast posed for social media snaps as they enjoyed the bar and canapes, while lead Jeremy was besieged by autograph hunters as he departed, with a cigarette dangling between his lips. 

Molly Gordon, who plays Carmen’s girlfriend Claire in the hit FX series, swapped her heels for complimentary slippers, matching actress Holland Taylor as they waited for their rides home at the valet station.

The Bear was one of the night’s early winners at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday and by the end of the night it had broken the record for most wins in the Comedy series category.

But fans and viewers of the series were perplexed to see the show nabbing so many comedy awards — because many of them didn’t think it was a comedy at all.

The series — which is set in the high-pressure environment of a restaurant and follows an executive chef pushing himself and his colleagues to earn a Michelin star — tends to depict more screams and sobs than laughs and smiles.

Many fans were upset that The Bear was snagging Emmys from shows that more easily fit into the comedy categories.

Even Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, who are making history as the first father–son duo to emcee the program, took a moment to poke fun at The Bear’s ill-fitting comedy nominations. 

‘I know some of you might be expecting us to make a joke about whether The Bear is really a comedy… but in the true spirit of The Bear we will not be making any jokes,’ Levy said while delivering his opening monologue with his son Dan.

On X, several users vented about nominees who lost out on potential Emmy gold in the comedy categories.

‘The Bear already winning awards in the comedy category over talented people who were actually in comedic roles,’ one person wrote.

Former Saturday Night Live star Laraine Newman — whose daughter, Hacks star Hannah Einbinder, lost in the Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series category to The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas — seethed: ‘Every time I think about The Bear being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing.’

Later, she was more blunt: ‘F***. THE. BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

One viewer joked: ‘Can’t wait to spend the night yelling ‘IT’S NOT A COMEDY’ every time The Bear shuts out a deserving actual-comedy nominee.’ 

Justice was served for the critics though as Hacks beat The Bear in a major upset for the top comedy honor.

The HBO comedy starring Jean Smart – who earned Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series – and Hannah Einbinder ended the night on top with a win in the Outstanding Comedy Series category over the FX series.
