And the winner is… All the winners from the 2021 Emmy Awards
By MiNDFOOD
Royal drama and feel good comedy nabbed the top prizes at television's Emmy awards on a night dominated by streaming shows, British talent and rare wins by women, including Kiwi Director, Jessica Hobbs for "The Crown".
The best drama series win for “The Crown” gave Netflix its biggest prize so far, while Apple TV+ entered streaming’s big league with the best comedy series win for “Ted Lasso.” Neither Netflix nor Apple TV+ had previously won a best comedy or best drama series Emmy.
Despite a nominees list that boasted the strongest showing in years for people of color, only a handful emerged as winners.
They included Britain’s Michaela Coel, who won for writing the harrowing sexual assault drama “I May Destroy You” in which she also starred and directed; RuPaul, host of the competition show “RuPaul’s Drag Race;” and the cast of hip hop Broadway musical “Hamilton,” which won the Emmy for variety special after it was filmed for television.
Dancer, singer and actor Debbie Allen was given an honorary award celebrating 50 years in show business. “It’s taken a lot of courage to be the only woman in the room most of the time,” Allen said.
