The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, where the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honors the most outstanding performances and shows of the year, was aired Sunday on CBS. The TV’s biggest event, hosted by Stephen Colbert, was held at Microsoft Theatre, Los Angeles.
Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and HBO’s Big Little Lies are tied for most wins with five awards each, followed by Saturday Night Live with four including Outstanding Variety Sketch Series. Veep took home the Outstanding Comedy Series award for third consecutive year, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus made Emmy history for winning the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for sixth straight year in a row.
Donald Glover, the creator of FX series Atlanta, also made history as the first black director to win the award for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and later in the night, he won his second Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
Nicole Kidman, who earned her first Emmy, delivered a strong message about domestic abuse during her acceptance speech for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
“.. I want them to know that sometimes when you’re acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message, and this is their contribution and your contribution,” she said. “We shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease. It exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I bow down to you.”
