- David Harbour took home Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for HBO's DTF St. Louis, his first Emmy win after four career nominations.
- Harbour beat his own DTF St. Louis co-stars Jason Bateman and Richard Jenkins, as well as Half Man's Richard Gadd, calling the category "not a fair fight" in his speech.
- Harbour quipped on stage that he wanted to "thank HBO for all your tons of notes," drawing a big laugh from the audience.
- Harbour was previously nominated twice for playing Jim Hopper on Stranger Things before his DTF St. Louis role.
- DTF St. Louis earned 13 nominations at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, with the show's dark comedy love triangle — three adults in middle-age malaise, one ending up dead — also competing in costumes, mixing, and cinematography.
- Harbour is an executive producer on the series through his company Bravo Axolotl, meaning he could double his haul if DTF St. Louis wins Outstanding Limited Series at the main primetime Emmy telecast on Sept. 14.
- The Supporting Actor and Actress awards in the limited category were notably presented during Emmys Night 2 (formerly the Creative Arts Emmys), not during the main Sept. 14 primetime broadcast.
Why it matters: The win marks Harbour's first Emmy in four career nominations and elevates him from genre-TV fixture (Stranger Things) to prestige honoree. As both star and executive producer, Harbour stands to collect a second trophy if DTF St. Louis — which earned 13 total nods this year — takes Outstanding Limited Series on Sept. 14.
