The 20 best, worst and most WTF moments from Emmys2019 — from historic speeches and surprise upsets to...an In Memoriam segment for TV shows?
Welcome to the Platinum Age of Television, everyone! Just kidding — literally no one will ever call it that except Television Academy chairman Frank Scherma, who used the epithet at the 71st Emmy Awards with the grinning desperation of a real estate agent trying to sell a house in an unfashionable neighborhood. That locale would be, of course, old-fashioned, subscription-package TV, which for years has been losing both ratings and critical acclaim to streaming services.
Hand-wringing aside, the 2019 Emmy presentation was marked by a few surprise upsets, a rudderless ceremony and a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit that only sometimes kept things interesting.
