Reiner broke record set by his father Carl Reiner at the ceremony formerly known as the Creative Arts Emmys, with The Pitt, Pluribus and DTF St Louis also winning big
Rob Reiner has won a posthumous Emmy for his performance in The Bear, nine months after his death – breaking the record set in the exact same category by his own father, Carl Reiner.
Reiner’s win for outstanding guest actor in a comedy was announced on Sunday night at the ceremony formerly known as the Creative Arts Emmys, a two-day awards event held a week before the main ceremony and telecast.
Reiner’s win prompted a long, standing ovation, with his friend and fellow The Bear guest star Jamie Lee Curtis among those in the crowd paying tribute.
The actor and film-maker was killed along with his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in December. Their son Nick Reiner, who has pleaded not guilty, has been charged with stabbing them to death.
