Grab a fresh cut of gabagool and prepare to turn the dial back to the 2004 Emmys.

Ahead of the 2024 Emmy Awards, which will air Sept. 15 on Fox, we are going back 20 years to reminisce on the shows that defined the early 2000s.

While Shogun and The Bear are leading the nominations in 2024 (see the full list of nominees here), viewers two decades ago were captivated by onscreen mob bosses and an acclaimed adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play as The Sopranos and Angels in America led the 2004 Emmys nominations.

In fact, Angels in America, nominated for 21 awards at the ceremony, had an incredibly successful night, breaking the record—previously held by Roots—for the most Emmys given to a miniseries in a single year. Among the 11 trophies the HBO series walked away with were Outstanding Miniseries, with Al Pacino and Meryl Streep also winning Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress, respectively.
