B次元官网网址淕ame of ThronesB次元官网网址� resurrected the Iron Throne at SundayB次元官网网址檚 Emmy ceremony, ruling as top drama on a night of surprises in which B次元官网网址淧oseB次元官网网址� star Billy Porter made history and the comedy series B次元官网网址淔leabagB次元官网网址� led a British invasion that overturned expectations.
B次元官网网址淭his all started in the demented mind of George R.R. Martin,B次元官网网址� said B次元官网网址淕ame of ThronesB次元官网网址� producer David Benioff, thanking the author whose novels were the basis of HBOB次元官网网址檚 fantasy saga.
Porter, who stars in the FX drama set in the LGBTQ ball scene of the late 20th century, became the first openly gay man to win a best drama series acting Emmy .
B次元官网网址淕od bless you all. The category is love, you all, love. IB次元官网网址檓 so overjoyed and so overwhelmed to have lived to see this day,B次元官网网址� said an exuberant Porter, resplendent in a sparkling suit and swooping hat.
AmazonB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淔leabag,B次元官网网址� a dark comedy about a dysfunctional woman, was honoured as best comedy and earned writing and top acting honours for its British creator and star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as well as a best director trophy.
B次元官网网址淭his is getting ridiculous,B次元官网网址� Waller-Bridge said in her third trip to the stage to collect the top trophy.
Her acting win blocked B次元官网网址淰eepB次元官网网址� star Julia Louis-Dreyfus from setting a record as the most-honoured performer in Emmy history.
In accepting the writing award earlier, Waller-Bridge called the Emmy recognition proof that B次元官网网址渁 dirty, pervy, messed-up woman can make it to the Emmys.B次元官网网址�
Porter, a Tony and Grammy Award winning performer, relished his groundbreaking moment. Quoting the late writer James Baldwin, he said it took him many years to believe he has the right to exist.
B次元官网网址淚 have the right, you have the right, we all have the right,B次元官网网址� he said.
English actress Jodie Comer was honoured as best drama actress for B次元官网网址淜illing Eve.B次元官网网址� She competed with co-star Sandra Oh, who received a Golden Globe for her role and would have been the first actress of Asian descent to win an Emmy in the category.
B次元官网网址淢y mum and dad are in Liverpool (England) and I didnB次元官网网址檛 invite them because I didnB次元官网网址檛 think this was going to be my time. One, IB次元官网网址檓 sorry, two I love you,B次元官网网址� Comer said after saluting Oh.
Bill Hader won his second consecutive best comedy actor award for the hit man comedy B次元官网网址淏arry.B次元官网网址�
Peter Dinklage, named best supporting actor for B次元官网网址淕ame of Thrones,B次元官网网址� set a record for most wins for the same role, four, breaking a tie with Aaron Paul of B次元官网网址淏reaking Bad.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淥zarkB次元官网网址� star Julia Garner won the best supporting drama actress trophy against a field including four actresses from B次元官网网址淕ame of Thrones.B次元官网网址�
The auditorium erupted in cheers when Jharrel Jerome of B次元官网网址淲hen They See Us,B次元官网网址� about the Central Park Five case , won the best actor award for a limited series movie.
B次元官网网址淢ost important, this is for the men that we know as the Exonerated Five,B次元官网网址� said Jerome, naming the five wrongly convicted men who were in the audience. They stood and saluted the actor as the crowd applauded them.
The ceremony was brisk but, without a host, was overly reliant on the hit-and-miss jokes of presenters. It was ultimately the surprising wins such as ComerB次元官网网址檚 and the meaningful selections of Porter and Jerome that made the show.
