Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus takes a selfie with presenter Mel Brooks as she accepts Outstanding Comedy Series award for Veep onstage. This was the last nomination he’ll get for this role because the show wrapped up after seven seasons. “There has been a bad mistake clearly”, Hamm said. “I turned around on stage and saw all those people and was surprised and it was lovely”.
On a milestone night for diversity, Viola Davis became the first African-American to win a drama lead actress Emmy for her role as a tough criminal defense lawyer in ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder“.
“The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity”, an emotional Davis said. “They said you could win with dragons this year”, Weiss joked.
“Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor, considered a front-runner for the best comedy actor trophy, would earn the first Emmy for portrayal of a transgender character.
“Thank you to everyone who ever watched the show”.
Morgan said, “Well, Jimmy, thanks to my fantastic doctors, the support of my family and my lovely new wife, I’m here”.
Jill Soloway, who based the series on the life of her own “moppa”, as she calls her parent, used her directing trophy acceptance speech to ask for equal rights for transgender individuals.
We’re always suckers for a attractive chartreuse gown, and we couldn’t get over just how gorgeous Padma Lakshmi looked in her strapless Romona Keveza dress. “We have a trans civil rights problem”.
King of “American Crime” won supporting actress honors for a limited series. Uzo Aduba, who plays Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren in “Orange” is nominated for her second acting Emmy. It was Janney’s sixth Emmy; she won five times before for “The West Wing“.
“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” won three Emmys, for variety talk series, writing for a variety series and as well as Chuck O’Neill for directing. “This show fights for what we believe in”, Schumer said.
“So many shows and so little time” was the musical lament with which Andy Samberg began his Emmy hosting duties.
