![]() As deserving as it was, “The Crown” was not the only good drama on TV this past season. Across 14 drama and comedy series categories, only three shows won anything: “Ted Lasso,” “Hacks,” and “The Crown.” Those three shows certainly deserved recognition, but there’s far more good TV than that. But it also splinters viewership to the point that only a handful of the highest-profile shows can get any traction at all. The era of peak TV means there’s more good content than ever before. If tapes still mattered, then both should have been on that stage. I wish producers would simply trust that the highlights will come authentically without trying to force them. Why are we doing a bit about the VP debate fly? Very few of these will have any lasting value, especially when compared to the actual unpredictable moments. Were those necessary? Really? Considering that several winners’ speeches were cut off and that the ceremony went over by about 20 minutes, the answer is no. The lame comedy bits with Ken Jeong and the Mike Pence fly. SEE 2021 Primetime Emmy winners list in all 27 categories Not that I would want anyone to base a vote on something from a different Emmy cycle, but it was nice seeing Evan Peters and the “Broad City” team go straight to wins after repeated nomination snubs last decade. Finally, one of the best working actors of our generation has an Emmy to show for it! – Rob Licuria Also, “Emmy Award winner Tobias Menzies” has such a wonderful ring to it. A joy to watch these nominees and winners. That was one of the best Emmy Awards in ages. A tremendous mistake not having a Conan Cam on him at all times. – Denton DavidsonĬonan O’Brien being the best loser ever. But Michaela Coel’s win for writing “I May Destroy You” was probably my favorite of all. I loved seeing “Mare of Easttown” win big in the acting categories while “The Queen’s Gambit” took the the top prize and directing. In such a competitive year with so many great nominees, it would have been a disservice for any to of them to sweep. It was nice to see the wealth spread among the limited series. I was so nervous she may go home empty handed, and I started screaming with joy when she won for writing “I May Destroy You.” I can’t wait to see what she does next. Michaela Coel is one of the most exciting creative forces to come around in a while. “ The Crown” and Peter Morgan finally being rewarded for their crowning achievement. ![]() How wonderful to see the multitasking star herself, Michaela Coel, take home the writing award for one of the most compelling and important series of at least the last year. “I May Destroy You” not walking home empty-handed. After turning in stellar work for many years, both Evan Peters and Julianne Nicholson finally took home their career-first statuettes (both on their first tries) for what were incredible performances on “Mare.” Meanwhile, Kate Winslet took home her second Emmy for giving one of the best performances of the year. “Mare of Easttown” taking home all three acting awards. – Tony Ruizĭebbie Allen‘s marvelous speech when accepting the Governors Award, and an additional shoutout to anyone else who defied the tacky play-off music - yes, even Scott Frank. This woman is an absolute perfect human being. Her standing ovation was so well-deserved and her speech was amazing. I love acceptance speeches with true emotion that speak from the heart, and the night was full of them. ![]() ![]() The authenticity of so many speeches, from stars like Hannah Waddingham, Jean Smart, Kate Winslet and Olivia Colman. I wouldn’t be opposed to another Cedric-hosted Emmys next year. Cedric the Entertainer! Yeah, he sorta disappeared around the midway point, but he kicked things off with a bang during the first half of the show. ![]()
