We’ve got the top winners of the night right here but the real standout winner was diversity. Finally.

The 69th Emmy Awards had me hooked! It was fresh, funny, dare I say hip and colorful. Gina Rodriguez’s dress- oh my god. So fun to watch! But let’s skip to what we’re all here for… the winners.
Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series was won by Master of None’s uber talented Aziz Ansari and his co-star Lena Waithe who made history as the first black woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing.
Donald Glover also made history becoming the first black person to win an Emmy for best directing for a comedy series which of course he won for Atlanta. Now… What’s better than one Emmy? Two. D-Glover took home a 2nd Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Bravo Atlanta crew.
HULU’s The Handmaid’s Tale was one of the biggest winners of the night. The show won best writing and directing for a drama series, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a drama, Elisabeth Moss its lead star took home Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama, AND the series beat out The Crown, Stranger Things, Better Call Saul, This Is Us, House of Cards and Westworld for Best Drama Series. Talk about some tight competition!
Some of SNL’s cast received Emmy love, including a tearful Kate McKinnon and a passionate Alec Baldwin.
HBO’s Big Little Lies won big… and that’s no lie… with Alexander Skarsgärd AND Laura Dern each taking an Emmy home, and Nicole Kidman beat out Reese Witherspoon for Outstanding Lead Actress in a limited series. Louie Anderson of Baskets and John Lithgow of the Crown took home Emmys.
Riz Ahmed kept the diversity going when he won for The Night Of.
Sterling K. Brown brought us to tears for the umpteenth time following his well-deserved Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for This Is Us. Too bad he was rudely cut off by the music track.
HBO’s VEEP won almost every award they were nominated for, including Outstanding Comedy series, beating out Atlanta, Blackish, Master of None, Modern Family, Silicon Valley and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, however, made Emmy history when she took home her sixth best actress Emmy for her role on “Veep” becoming the single performer with the most Emmys for one role.
As you can see, a night that truly made history for artists everywhere, including many of the women and minorities who bring magic to our television screens. What did you think of all the winners?!

  6. 2:15 "kept the diversity going…" is it just me or is really racist to point out everyone's race repeatedly like this? Point out their TALENT, we know they're not white. We get it. They didn't win because they aren't white, they won because they're talented.

  7. Feud was ROBBED! Jessica Lange, Jackie Hoffman and Susan Sarandon were all more deserving. You call this diversity? It's just the same people (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and same shows (Handmaid's Delusional Fantasy) taking the awards for the same crap again and again. Fuck this bullshit sham agenda Hollywood keeps pushing.

  8. It's always sunny in Philadelphia should gotten nominated for once. How does a show that's been going on for 10 years not even get entered? But whatever they never get any recognition. But on the other hand, congratulations to Donald Glover winning 2 Emmys

  10. I laughed when they showed pictures of black ppl winning. You know damn well it was from them complaining and whining about not getting these awards. Notice the heirchy. They give it to blacks, Indians, Arabs, Hispanics who aren't even a minority and most are white. The irony is blacks are not discriminated like they claim.  The group most discriminated in Hollywood and white society are Asians.

  22. if they would cut off more of the winners by starting the music (and cutting their mic) …then ALL the award shows would be a lot more watchable (and not have to worry about running overtime….why do winners continue to do it? No one likes to see people drone on and on….its infuriating!!!

  27. After the pathetic display by brain-dead Liberals during 2017 Emmy Awards,, the REAL winners would be Conservative candidates in 2018 elections … AMERICANS ARE SO SICK AND TIRED OF THESE DOUCHENOZZLE LIBERALS !

  28. Westworld should have won something, easily the best series around, to make a single season that well written is astounding. But, awards being won by people and shows that most people don't even watch… standard awards.

  40. For those wondering why Game Of Thrones wasn't nominated for any awards this year is because they missed the deadline. The new season was released too late in the year and wasn't eligible for the 2017 Emmy Awards. But that just means it got pushed back, Season 7 will be honored in the 2018 Emmy Awards.
