The Bear won best comedy series at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, capping a big night for the show.
The FX-produced Hulu series ended up with three awards at the Globes, with Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White also taking home lead acting honors. The Bear also won four Emmys on Saturday at the Creative Arts awards (which were delayed from September), making for a big weekend for the show.
The Bear beat out ABC’s Abbott Elementary — last year’s winner in the category — HBO’s Barry, Freevee’s Jury Duty, fellow Hulu series Only Murders in the Building and Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso for the Globes win.
The Bear is coming off a second season that saw its popularity explode, as it racked up more than 3.5 billion minutes of viewing time on Hulu in the five weeks after its release, according to Nielsen (it only made the streaming rankings once during its first season). The series also earned 13 Emmy nominations for season two, including best comedy series.
Cast member Lionel Boyce accepted the Globe for best comedy, albeit somewhat sheepishly: “I don’t know why they chose me” to give the acceptance speech, he said. “I guess maybe we thought we wouldn’t win.”
