Actor Jeremy Allen White achieved a significant milestone by winning his inaugural Emmy Award in the category of 'Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series' for his exceptional performance in the series 'The Bear.'
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Television Academy shared a post and wrote, ‘Congrats to Jeremy Allen White on a first-ever #Emmy nomination and win for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for @TheBearFX (@FXNetworks/ @hulu)! #Emmys #75thEmmys.’

The 75th Emmys, initially slated for September 2023, were postponed because of the Hollywood strikes.
