Zendaya, “The Squid Game” Prince Charles: Emmy Awards are handed out in the USA

Academics decided to award their favorites

Bright, sweeping, not without peppered jokes. The Emmy Awards returned to their pre-pandemic high-society format and were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with great excitement. Star smiles and outfits were a success, the choice of academicians turned out to be much more boring.

Zendaya in Valentino, Elle Fanning in Sharon Long, Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive and stuff like that. Star youth sparkled for everyone’s joy, and wits practiced irony. Comedian Pat Davidson, for example, copied the look of Kanye West at the Costume Institute’s Met Gala three years ago. And it’s not so much about a white T-shirt and a black zippered jacket, but about the intention to quip about the fact that Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriends should have something in common. In general, broshenki go in black, although they do not look sad at the same time.

Prince Charles has been more of a sympathetic remark than a joke lately. But he did not have time to try on the crown, as it started. “New king in the UK this week, for us. Obviously, a little more votes participated in our victory than in the victory of Prince Charles,” said Jesse Armstrong, the creator of the series “Heirs”, Briton, receiving the prize for “Best Drama Series” together with the project team.

With the choice of the favorites of the ceremony, everything was not so fun at all. TV academics, apparently, decided that the old horses do not spoil the furrow, and voted for the series that have been treated kindly more than once, including at the Emmy, and which have become leaders this year in terms of the number of nominations. According to experts, “Heirs” (25 nominations) is still a spectacular sight even during the third season of the show. And the second season of Ted Lasso (20 nominations) is just as funny as the first. As a result, a ruthless social pamphlet about the immoral offspring of a media mogul and an American’s adventures in the wilds of British football received prizes in two main categories: “Best Drama Series” and “Best Comedy Series”.

Thus, the greatness of the “Squid Game”, which everyone has been talking about lately, has not yet been clearly recognized at the official level. However, it is also unfair to claim that the Korean hit was given a ride with awards. Actor Lee Jong-jae won Best Actor in a Drama Series, while Game of Squid director Hwang Dong-hyuk won Best Director for Drama.

Euphoria star Zendaya is probably starting to get used to going out for trophies. It seems that everyone loves her: teenagers, tabloids, and TV academics. The latter again voted for her in the nomination “Best Actress in a Drama Series”. Thus, Euphoria has already brought the actress two very prestigious awards.

Not far behind Zendaya and Jason Sudeikis. He, like a year ago, won the Best Actor in a Comedy Series nomination for Ted Lasso. Opening champagne in honor of the victory in the same nomination is becoming a tradition for the star of “Tricks” Jean Smart. The actress again received the award for “Best Actress in a Comedy Series”.

For Hollywood legend Michael Keaton, this year’s ceremony was something of a revelation. The famous actor won his first Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries. This is how the game of 71-year-old Keaton in Lomka was marked. Definitely better late than never.
