Ceremony brought plenty of people of color to the stage to present, but delivered most of the night’s awards to white stars and creators
took Best Competition Series, finally bringing the night’s first winner of color to the podium. Later,Hamilton
took home the award for Outstanding Variety Special. But most of the evening was spent watching people of color present awards to their white counterparts.
