Actress Claire Danes and her husband actor Hugh Dancy arrive at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California September 20, 2015. He bypassed the steps to the stage, scrambling onto it on his stomach. The show, on its fifth nomination for best drama, has yet to win top honors. So what? I certainly wasn’t anticipating that the guy would someday be hosting the Emmy Awards, let alone kicking the oft-dull ceremony’s ass, as he did on Sunday night.
With a total of 26 Emmys since it became eligible to compete in 2011, “Game of Thrones” is tied with “Hill Street Blues” and “The West Wing” as the most-honored drama series ever.
The full list of nominees for the 2015 Emmy Awards can be found here. Other African-American actresses who prevailed Sunday were Uzo Aduba and Regina King, who won for supporting performances.”Mad Men” star Hamm claimed the best drama actor Emmy that eluded him seven times before. Game of Thrones and Modern Family are up for awards as usual, with the former leading the race with 24 nods.
Even Samberg got in on the fun, tracking down Martin in the audience and saying, “Thanks for telling me during the commercial that Jon Snow is alive”.
“The Daily Show” won the Emmy for best variety talk series on Sunday, serving as a bittersweet farewell for Stewart’s reign as host of the late night show. My personal favorite Samberg observation: “Is it just me, or does Bernie Sanders always look like his flight is delayed?”
Besides Colbert, who left his Comedy Central show to become host of CBS’ late-night show, the tough competition included another channel alum, John Oliver, for his HBO series.
The Emmy for lead actor in a comedy series has been awarded to Jeffrey Tambor of “Transparent“.
“In my mind, I see a line”.
“We have a trans civil rights problem”, she said, urging people to visit the website of the National Center for Transgender Equality and voice support for a bill protecting trans-equality.
Jeffrey Tambor, one other Bay Space native.
“She’s everything that I thought she would be – creative, generous, warm, funny”, Bassett said of Gaga. In the drama category, “House of Cards” and “Orange Is The New Black” are in contention, but none of them are heavily fancied to win. She won a guest actress award past year for her portrayal of the series’ character known as “Crazy Eyes”.
Emmys voters didn’t give up their fondness for choosing the familiar over the groundbreaking. Nominated for Lead Actress in a Comedy alongside Lisa Kudrow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Amy Schumer, Edie Falco and Lily Tomlin, Poehler brought the laughs when the camera cut to her slouched in her seat wearing a hoodie and sunglasses.
