Jon Bernthal (‘The Bear’) wins Emmy for Comedy Guest Actor

Jon Bernthal (“The Bear”) won his first ever Emmy Award for Best Comedy Guest Actor at Sunday night’s Creative Arts ceremony in downtown Los Angeles. He had received his first nomination last year for playing the late brother Michael Berzatto of lead actor Jeremy Allen White‘s character Carmy.

For this weekend, he defeated Matthew Broderick (“Only Murders in the Building”), Ryan Gosling (“Saturday Night Live”), Christopher Lloyd (“Hacks”), Bob Odenkirk (“The Bear”) and Will Poulter (“The Bear”). According to Gold Derby odds, he was predicted to win at 31/10 odds ahead of Gosling in this guest star category.

According to the official description of his FX episode on the Emmy ballot: Mikey, the eldest Berzatto sibling, wrestles with inner turmoil amid strained relations with Uncle Lee. He softens when Carmy discusses revamping The Beef, exposing Mikey’s financial worries and past battles with depression. Tensions climax as Mikey’s pent-up frustrations erupt in a heated clash with Lee.
