As someone who has been following and appreciating the art of television for the better part of my life, I must say that I am utterly captivated by the phenomenal series, The Bear. It’s not just the impressive ratings it has garnered or its Emmy wins that have caught my attention but rather the raw emotion and authenticity that it brings to the screen.
There’s no arguing that “The Bear” on Hulu is a veritable powerhouse, smashing records left and right. In just four days, its third season garnered over five million views, setting a new benchmark for a scripted series premiere on the platform. But viewership isn’t the only area where “The Bear” reigns supreme. Heading into this year’s Emmys with an impressive 23 nominations, it went on to break its own record for wins during last night’s ceremony.
As a passionate cinephile, I couldn’t help but feel perplexed when “The Bear,” with its impressive 11 Emmy wins, was categorized as a comedy. Donning Jeremy Allen White at the helm, it outshone its competitors in the comedy category, even setting a new record from last year. Yet, during and after the ceremony, many of us were left scratching our heads, wondering why this deeply moving series found itself in the comedy section.
Jeremy Allen White consistently delivers outstanding performances in an excellent series, yet hasn’t uttered a single humorous line over the past three seasons. It seems that the Emmys are missing something. Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Larry David are undeniably among the funniest individuals, and it’s time to consider comedy when awarding Best Actor in a COMEDY Series.
Fans Praise Jeremy Allen White, but Question The Bear’s Comedy Chops
Despite some debate about the genre of “The Bear,” there seems to be widespread agreement among fans that Jeremy Allen White deserves awards recognition. Another fan expressed, “I adore him and he truly deserves the praise, but his award category doesn’t quite fit, Steve Martin and Martin Short from ‘Only Murders in the Building’ are long past due.” Some viewers also noted the irony of White potentially winning for “The Bear” when his previous show, “Shameless,” faced a similar situation, being placed in the drama category despite often appearing comedic.
At last night’s Emmy Awards, even the experts were unsure if The Bear was a comedy or a drama. This confusion extended to the red carpet where Variety asked the actors about the series genre. Although the actors appeared unconcerned, viewers seemed to strongly feel otherwise. On platform X, one viewer expressed their dissatisfaction by saying, “I adore #TheBear, but I’m refusing to watch it until they shift it from the comedy category. I believe they’d triumph in Drama, but they are denying some exceptional comedic actors a chance at an award.
