Are you happy that Veep won Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2015 Emmy Awards? The HBO series also beat the record-holder, “The West Wing” series, which won nine awards in 2000, according to the Guardian.
The show’s popularity continues to grow despite increasingly controversial scenes in every season.
Jon Hamm finally snared an Emmy for his lead role as Don Draper in AMC’s 1960s advertising drama “Mad Men“, winning a standing ovation from the audience. He had been nominated seven times previously.
In the Lead Actress in a Drama category, Robin Wright of Netflix’s “House of Cards” lost to Viola Davis of ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder“.
Critics highlighted “Veep” and “Parks and Recreation” as more deserving of the Best Comedy Series title.
However, Davis wasn’t the only African-American woman to win, as Orange Is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba prevailed in the Supporting Actress Drama category and American Crime’s Regina King won for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series Or Movie. “Thank you to everyone who watched the show and thank you for this”.
The latest promotion encourages viewers to “fall in love again” with “Modern Family“, and more people may need to for the show to see continued success.
“I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote our political satire Veep: ‘What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight.’ Oh, no, no no. Donald Trump said that”.
“I’d like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community”.
The outstanding directing for a comedy Emmy went to Jill Soloway for the “Best New Girl” episode of “Transparent“.
The eighth time was a charm for “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm.
The Emmys have dropped to become just the 6th most popular awards show over the past year.
