The actors were among the early winners at the Emmy awards, Hollywood’s annual celebration of the best of television.

British actor Goldstein, named best comedy actor, said he was going to try not to swear after his profanity-laced remarks were cut off in Britain when he won last year, preventing his family from hearing them.

Ralph appeared shocked when her name was called as the winner of best supporting comedy actress in a comedy on “Abbott Elementary”, a show about a predominantly Black school in Philadelphia.

Among other winners, Michael Keaton was named lead actor in a limited series for playing a small-town doctor who becomes addicted to painkillers in “Dopesick”. Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge won awards for their roles on HBO limited series “The White Lotus”.

Matthew Macfadyen, who plays insecure son-in-law Tom on “Succession, said he was “deeply flattered” by winning the Emmy award for supporting actor in a drama.

“It really is such a pleasure to play this bonkers gift of a role,” he said.
