The FX series is facing criticism over its classification as a comedy, with many saying it should be classified as a drama.

At the ceremony on September 15, Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach won the lead and supporting acting comedy awards.

Laraine Newman, a past SNL cast member and mother of 'Hacks' actress Hannah Einbinder, also believes the show leans more towards the drama genre.

"Every time I think about The Bear being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing," the comedian wrote on social media.

Even Emmys host Eugene Levy said in his introduction of 'The Bear': "Now, I love the show. And I know some of you might be expecting us to make a joke about whether 'The Bear' is really a comedy. But in the true spirit of 'The Bear', we will not be making any jokes."

One commenter wrote on Reddit: "Every time I hear this show referred to as a comedy, I’m compelled to ask, 'What’s the funniest single scene you can think of in this show?'"

FX led this year's edition, winning 36 Emmys, mainly for 'Shōgun' and 'The Bear'.

Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai won the best actor and actress in a drama awards for 'Shōgun'.

'The Bear' set a record with 11 comedy series awards in one year.

Jean Smart won for lead actress in a comedy for 'Hacks', which was named Best Comedy Series.

Netflix's 'Baby Reindeer' won for best limited series and six awards overall.

Social media users expressed outrage over Duvall's absence from the tribute.

The Emmys' In Memoriam included Shannen Doherty, Bob Newhart, Gena Rowlands and James Earl Jones, among others.

Viewers criticized the exclusion not only of Duvall but also Joe Flaherty, Tyler Christopher, Johnny Wactor and Chita Rivera.

Others who were not mentioned included Eleanor Coppola and Lou Dobbs, with their names instead featured in a more inclusive In Memoriam list on the Emmys website.

Songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul joined the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) club with their Emmy win for 'Only Murders in the Building'.
