There are still endless records waiting to be broken after 78 years of Primetime Emmy Awards. But Matthew Rhys — who has already been honored by the Television Comedy once before — just set a pair.
On Monday, September 14, the 51-year-old star of both Widow’s Bay and The Beast in Me strolled into the Emmys with Best Actor nominations for his leading turns in both series. And he would ultimately stroll out of the Los Angeles ceremony with trophies in hand for both performances.
No other performer has ever achieved such a feat — but Rhys’ historic night didn’t stop there. In factoring in the last time he won an acting Emmy — for The Americans back in 2018 — that means the Welsh star has now won all three lead acting prizes at the TV Academy’s annual event.

Fans have since commented on NBC’s upload to show their love and support for Rhys’ big win. “Long awaited and anticipated. Good on him, so well deserved,” wrote one YouTube user, while another person commented, “He’s sooo good in this series.”
Oh, and make that four Emmys to Rhys’ name, by the way, after Widow’s Bay won for Best Comedy at the end of the night. Rhys is an executive producer on the show, in addition to starring in it.
This final race that was announced by “brothers” Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. After some expected banter between the True Detective co-stars — with Harrelson, 65, making jaw-dropping jokes about McConaughey’s mom — they finally revealed Apple TV’s hit horror comedy as the victor.
As Variety noted, Rhys’ bigger surprise of a win was the limited-series actor category, nabbing the prize over presumptive favorite Oscar Isaac (Beef) along with Riz Ahmed (Bait), Jason Bateman (Black Rabbit) and Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story).
