Richard Gadd is going home a major winner.

At the 2024 Emmys, the 35-year-old took home awards in three categories—Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series and Outstanding Writing for an Anthology Series or Movie—for his writing, directing and acting in Netflix's Baby Reindeer. (Check out all the stars who came out winners at the Emmys here.)

And that wasn't the only way Richard owned the spotlight during the ceremony hosted by Dan Levy and Eugene Levy at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. In fact, he earned a massive applause during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. 

"I know the industry is in a slump right now and that might force or put pressure on networks and stuff to tighten the purse strings and broaden the slate," Richard told the crowd during his third speech of the evening, "but I do believe a slump was never broken without a willingness to take risks."

And the comedian sees his black comedy series—which took home a total of six golden statues at the Sept. 15 Emmys—as a prime example of that sentiment. As he put it, "If Baby Reindeer has proved anything, it's that there's no set formula to this."

"Really, the only constant across any success is good storytelling," Richard continued. "Good storytelling that speaks to our times. So, take risks, push boundaries, explore the uncomfortable, dare to fail in order to achieve."

Baby Reindeer beat out Fargo, Lessons in Chemistry, Ripley and True Detective: Night Country in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category. Meanwhile, Richard won big over Fellow Travelers' Matt Bomer, Fargo's Jon Hamm, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans' Tom Hollander and Ripley's Andrew Scott for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. 

For Richard, all his success is going to take some getting used to. After all, it was only recently that he realized he no longer pop into a random pub and not be recognized. 

“It was bedlam, it was chaos,” Richard recalled of a recent night out in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published May 13. “I thought, ‘Oh, I can’t really go into pubs anymore and expect to sit quietly in a corner and have some food.” 

Noting that it's all been "quite surreal," he added,  “I still don’t think of myself as famous.”
