The hilarious series Ted Lasso (Apple TV+) also re-entered as best comedy of the year, after its victory in 2021. Jason Sudeikis, who plays an American football coach parachuted into an English football team, also won the Emmy of the best actor in a comedy. In the mini-series, The White Lotus, which tackles the ambient hypocrisy of a Hawaiian luxury hotel, dominated the evening with 10 awards, including that of the best production of the genre – which brings together the series of a single season. Michael Keaton, for his part, received the Emmy for best actor in this category, for his role in dopesicka mini-series that examines America’s deadly addiction to opioids, while Amanda Seyfried was awarded for The Dropout.
Far from the sudden slap given by Will Smith to presenter Chris Rock during the last Oscars, the return of the Emmys to a theater hosted by comedian Kenan Thompson, took place without great surprise. The most significant moments of the ceremony were those celebrating diversity on screen, a central theme where Hollywood has been trying to improve for several years. So, actress Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary) sent chills through the audience, singing the title Endangered Species by African-American jazzwoman Dianne Reeves, to accept her award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy.
On the red carpet, photographers of stars such as Ben Stiller came with his daughter Ella, Sarah Paulson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sandra Oh, Andrew Garfield or Kaley Cuoco who formalized with her lover Tom Pelphrey.
