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. And while Television Academy head Frank Scherma presented the Governors Award to dancer, choreographer, actress, writer and director Debbie Allen — the first Black woman to receive that honor — his introductory speech crowing about diversity was particularly jarring in light of the night’s events.
Despite a few much-deserved wins, the Emmys seem to have a lot of work to do in terms of representation. For now, it looks like the label #EmmysSoWhite remains fitting.
2021 EmmysSoWhite was a shitshow.
Cedric hit on this repeatedly throughout the ceremony. Awards can’t just be handed out to minority actors because they are nominated-it is a contest. There was a wealth of talented minority actors nominated!
So tired of this! Yes, awards shows should consider actors, directors, etc of all races and ethnicities. And, I do think that is much better. But, the winner should represent the best of the year, and The Crown definitely deserves the wins! noaffirmativeactionforemmys
Enough of this shit already.
Stir that pot RS. Maybe not everything is a race contest, and maybe, just maybe, if only these guys won maybe the rest weren’t so talented? CancelCulture
Stop. Just stop. Diversity is great but it doesn’t apply to crap like this.
Ridiculous. It should be based for performance, not skin color.
They could have taken a lesson from South Park.
Don’t want to block you Rolling Stone, but you’re asking for it.
xciegox I am so tired of this diversity shit even in my morning cereal, I hope diversity gets destroid and only the original purpose of things is celebrated.
The guy in the middle looks like my Persian friend Bahram. He was like eucalyptus to a koala bear. No lie. He had three girls all over him at the disco. Plus one very angry Southern gal he’d come there with. So four in total buy one was trying to kill him. Sweet memories.
The entire world is a diversity fail these days thanks to piss poor articles like this 🤨 Bullshit
Check out the comments RS. Nobody cares. It’s not 2014 anymore. Tell your woke millennial writers there are bigger problems at the moment.
Here we go again
Who wrote this article? Coca-Cola?
The CCP funds Rolling Stone.
Maybe they just deserved to win... just because youre not white doesnt mean u should get an award just to be fair...lmao... the best man or woman won... maybe people that lost need to step up their game
Stirring the pot
Blah blah blah
This is BS. Weak.
And unfollow you get
Did you even watch it? It was the most diverse broadcast I’ve ever seen. It was incredible actually
Sorry rs but you’re creating a bullshit controversy where there isn’t one. Why don’t you applaud and celebrate the winners and diversity of audience and nominees. Wouldn’t get you clicks? How lame.
Diversity for diversity’s sake ruins everything.
It is and should always be based on performance. Stop politicizing everything. My lord! These were all great performances by these actors and actresses. Say congrats instead of this crap.
So…we should hand it awards to minorities not because they’re good, but because it should be more diverse? Imagine a boxing fight where a white man KO’d a black man-should we give the title to the black man just for diversity’s sake? Ted Lasso & The Crown deserved their wins.
Mj Rodriguez was deserved better imo
The winners of tonight deserved. Only maybe I woulda went Michaela over Kate but otherwise…this article is baseless
Why not just scrap the current process and have a quota awards system based on race/ethnicity?
This whole schtick is getting so old. Television is incredibly diverse. There were more women and more actors of color in that room than ever before.
WHY should it be 'diverse?' Honor the people who DESERVE it and not to make up numbers!
What is the acceptable number of white winners?
Go to bed weirdo.
so what? the way you put it, makes it sound like you would like them to alter the judges votes just so there was more 'diversity'? smh
Definitely the worst aspect of the evening. I was hoping Billy, MJ, and MKW would win big. Check out my review of the Emmys and my thoughts on the big winners (and losers).
Have you measured the distance from their brows to the tips of their noses? If nothing else, get some bloodwork done on the racial compositions. You have work to do, . You may not be here in 3 more months. Get on it, race detectives!
