The Emmys, the awards that honour TV's best, will be unveiling this year's crop of nominees today -- but online and not on TV.
An Emmy statuette is displayed inside the Governor's Ball at the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards Press Preview Day at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2016, in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES -- Television has been America's constant companion amid an unyielding virus and whirlwind of racial reappraisal.
With isolation-forced time on their hands, TV industry members may have been more diligent about searching out potential nominees that otherwise would have been overlooked. That also required adjusting to the academy-mandated switch from series DVDs to online screenings . The academy has ground to make up in diversity. In 2019, less than a quarter of the acting bids went to people of colour, down from more than a third of the nominations in 2018. Last year's ceremony proved groundbreaking in one regard, as “Pose” star Billy Porter became the first openly gay winner of the top drama acting trophy.
“Ramy” had a season also had a notable season, one bolstered by the addition of Oscar-winning Mahershala Ali, a contender for best supporting actor, said Deggans, who also cited OWN's Black coming-of-age drama “David Makes Man” as worthy of attention. Top drama series contenders include newcomer Apple TV's drama series “The Morning Show” and its lead actresses Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Likely to face them: past winners “The Crown” and “The Handmaid's Tale” , and their respective stars Olivia Colman and Elisabeth Moss, who is seeking to repeat her 2017 best-actress win.
