At the next Emmys ceremony, taking place this September, the show&#x27;s even more acclaimed and ambitious second season is eligible.Quinta Brunson won for best actress in a comedy for &quot;Abbott Elementary.&quot;<div>Limited series </div>Netflix&#x27;s &quot;Beef&quot; dominated the limited series categories, for shows that run only a single season, with five prizes including best limited series, writing and directing.<div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt=" Lee Sung Jin embraces Ali Wong as he accepts the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series award for " at="" the="" Primetime="" Emmy="" Awards="" in="" Los="" California.="" Mario="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2024/entertainment/01/16/01-reuters-beef-rtr-01162024.jpg"/><figcaption>Lee Sung Jin embraces Ali Wong as he accepts the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series award for &quot;Beef&quot; at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California.
