View Date:2024-12-23 16:12:11
Grab a fresh cut of gabagool and prepare to turn the dial back to the 2004 Emmys.
Ahead of the 2024 Emmy Awards, which will air Sept. 15 on Fox, we are going back 20 years to reminisce on the shows that defined the early 2000s.
While Shogun and The Bear are leading the nominations in 2024 (see the full list of nominees here), viewers two decades ago were captivated by onscreen mob bosses and an acclaimed adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play as The Sopranos and Angels in America led the 2004 Emmys nominations.
In fact, Angels in America, nominated for 21 awards at the ceremony, had an incredibly successful night, breaking the record—previously held by Roots—for the most Emmys given to a miniseries in a single year. Among the 11 trophies the HBO series walked away with were Outstanding Miniseries, with Al Pacino and Meryl Streep also winning Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress, respectively.
Following closely behind was The Sopranos, up for 20 awards, which finally won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. (The series was nominated in the category for each of its six seasons, winning it again in 2007.) Several cast members also walked away with hardware, including Edie Falco, Drea de Matteo and Michael Imperioli winning awards for their performances.
Other big winners included Arrested Development starring Jason Bateman and Michael Cera—which won the award for Outstanding Comedy Series—and the biographical drama Something The Lord Made, which took home the award for Outstanding Made for Television Movie.
But some of the most exciting moments happened on the red carpet before the ceremony even began, as Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, and James Brolin and Barbara Streisand turned the evening into a glamorous date night.
The carpet also featured some exciting celebrity crossovers, with comedy legends Kelsey Grammer and Matt LeBlanc posing for a photo together in their dapper suits. Plus, The O.C. stars Benjamin McKenzie, Mischa Barton and Adam Brody reunited ahead of the season two premiere to take on the big night together.
To see who takes home this year’s glimmering trophies, tune in to watch father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy host the ceremony from L.A.’s Peacock Theater starting at 8 p.m. EST.
And while you’re putting in your guesses for this year’s winners, take a stroll down memory lane by looking back at the stars that attended the 2004 Emmys.
