Steve Conrad’s DTF St. Louis capped off a strong run at the Emmys with the top prize in the limited series and anthology category. The series took home seven statues from thirteen nominations, including best writing, directing and supporting awards.
The win comes after a weekend of Creative Emmys where the show collected its first major awards. Conrad accepted the trophy and thanked his cast, crew and the families who supported them.
“We are grateful for a moment like this to say thank you to our families, their good cheer and their faith was our greatest resource along the way,” Conrad said.
The Win That Capped The Run
The series dominated the limited and anthology categories this year. Its competitors included All Her Fault, The Beast In Me, Beef and Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. Conrad’s remarks about family support were notable because they framed the show’s success as a collective effort.
The top prize was the final piece of hardware the show needed to complete its sweep. The series had already won best writing, directing and supporting awards for David Harbour and Linda Cardellini at the Creative Emmys last weekend.
Conrad thanked HBO and its leadership for their support and guidance, noting the achievement on behalf of the 175 people who worked on the show.
Why The Family Thanks Matters
Conrad’s remarks about family support were notable because they framed the show’s success as a collective effort. He thanked the friends and families who stood behind the cast and crew throughout the production.
That gratitude extended to HBO’s leadership, whom he credited for support and guidance during the project.
The show’s path to the top prize involved a steady accumulation of recognition. The Creative Emmys delivered the early victories, and the main ceremony confirmed the show’s standing as one of the strongest entries in its category.
