Out of the 12 acting categories at Sunday’s Emmy Awards ceremony, not a single actor of color won a performance award, despite the record number of diverse nominees this year.
ceremony, not a single actor of color won a performance award, despite the record number of diverse nominees this year.
Even Emmy host Cedric the Entertainer made a joke in passing hinting at how difficult it is for a nominee of color to win a performance award. While the show itself featured an array of diverse presenters, the first hour only rewarded white performers. RuPaul Charles became the first Emmy winner of color to speak on stage after winning his 11th statuette for outstanding competition program for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” — surpassing cinematographer Donald A. Morgan and making him the most decorated Black artist at the Emmys., Courtney B. Vance, Dave Chappelle and Maya Rudolph all won winning guest actor awards.
To the"allies" who told me that they are losing jobs to diversity & there is too much diversity in TV PLEASE look at the winners of tonights Emmy. Who got extensive budgets & campaigns? Still so much work to do for actual equality.
