The Office US won five Primetime Emmy Awards during its nine-season run. Those wins recognized the series in major comedy, writing, directing, and editing categories.
The show’s first Emmy victory came in 2006, when it won Outstanding Comedy Series for its second season. Greg Daniels won Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 2007 for “Gay Witch Hunt,” while Jeffrey Blitz won Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series in 2009 for “Stress Relief.”
The series later won Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series for “The Job” at the Creative Arts Emmys, and David Rogers and Claire Scanlon won the same broad editing honor for “Finale” in 2013. Counting these recognized Primetime and Creative Arts wins produces the total of five.
Viewers sometimes confuse Emmy nominations with wins: The Office received 42 Primetime Emmy nominations, but only five resulted in victories. Steve Carell, despite six nominations for lead actor, never won an acting Emmy for the series.
