'Ted Lasso' wins the Emmy best for comedy series.
Even after he lost the award for outstanding variety talk series, Conan O'Brien got more face time at the Emmy Awards than most of the winners.
As John Oliver accepted the statuette for outstanding variety talk series, he sheepishly admitted that he"was kind of rooting for Conan, so this was kind of bittersweet.”He egged on the crowd into a standing ovation for Television Academy President Frank Scherma as Scherma was trying to get through an introduction for the Governor's Award.
O'Brien later took the stage with the winners of the variety special live Emmy,"Stephen Colbert's Election Night 2020," which didn't escape the notice of his onetime late-night rival.9m ago / 3:13 AM UTC“Stephen Colbert’s Election Night 2020: Democracy’s Last Stand Building Back America Great Again Better 2020” won the Emmy for outstanding variety special .“I want to thank 'Ted Lasso' and 'Last Week Tonight' for not being in this category,” he joked.
The shutout of nonwhite performers is especially notable given the scrutiny of diversity and representation at entertainment industry award shows in recent years.Josh O'Connor, who played Prince Charles on the fourth season of"The Crown," won the lead drama actor award.The award was presented by Catherine Zeta-Jones.Celebrities are showering Emmy winner Michaela Coel with support.
Coel, who stars in"I May Destroy You," won the Emmy for outstanding writing for a limited or anthology series or movie.
