HBO's The Last of Us won the most Emmy Awards on night one

Many of us think HBO and PlayStation Productions did a fantastic job of making The Last of Us into a TV series, so it was really fun to learn the show had been nominated for 24 Emmy Awards last July. Do you know what's better than that though? Winning a bunch of them.

Because the first night of the 75th Creative Arts Emmy Awards is now over, and The Last of Us won an amazing eight categories, including outstanding guest actor and actress in a drama series to Nick Offerman and Storm Reid respectively. As a Norwegian, I obviously also have to highlight that Storm Studios took home the Emmy for outstanding special visual effects.

The Last of Us didn't exactly take everything, but it says a lot when the second place in terms of numbers of prizes was a three-way tie with The Bear, The White Lotus and Wednesday winning four each.

Meanwhile, it's interesting to see that The Last of Us hasn't won a single Golden Globe at the time of writing, but we'll see if that changes when season 2 comes in 2025.

Tune in this weekend to see if Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal can win best lead actress and actor at the Primetime Emmys.
