Matthew Rhys Makes Emmy History as 'Widow's Bay' Breaks Records
Actor wins two lead acting awards in a single night as the comedy series sets a new record with 14 Emmy wins.

Actor Matthew Rhys made Emmy history this year by winning two lead acting awards in the same night, according to France 24. The achievement came as the comedy series "Widow's Bay" swept its category, setting a new record with 14 wins overall, the broadcaster reported.
France 24's arts program looked back at what it described as some of the biggest moments from television's "biggest night," featuring commentary from critic Dheepthika Laurent. Among the other winners highlighted were "The Pitt," "Hacks," and television host Stephen Colbert, according to the report.
Separately, France 24 noted the return of the Israeli series "Fauda" for a fifth season, which the broadcaster described as politically charged and inspired by the events of October 7. The report did not provide further detail on the season's content or reception.
The program also referenced an Australian thriller titled "Last Seen," described as containing multiple twists, though no further details were given in the source material.
Additionally, France 24 pointed to "Brothers," a project featuring actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, noting what it called "a very unexpected family secret" within the storyline, without elaborating further.
