The 73rd Emmy Awards took place yesterday. Those of you who spent last night in front of the TV's watching the live broadcast may have been a bit disappointed, because all the nominees who make geek hearts beat faster unfortunately came away empty-handed.
There was also a certain one-sidedness to be noted, because there was usually one winner who took it all in the sections and associated actor categories. In the "Best Comedy" category, it was »Ted Lasso«, all actors awards also went to the series, with the exception of only the best leading actress. Here Jean Smart won in »Hacks«.
In the best drama series, »The Crown« took everything. So neither »The Boys«, »The Mandalorian«, »Lovecraft Country« nor »A Handmaids Tail« could score.
In the mini-series, »The Queen's Gambit« then beats »WandaVision«. In the actor categories, »Mare of Easttown« made the race with Kate Winslet as the leading actress. The leading actor award went to Ewan McGregor for »Halston«. The nominees for »WandaVision« Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany also received nothing. Supporting actor prizes were also won by »Mare of Easttown«.
Don't get us wrong, we liked »The Crown«, »The Queen's Gambit« and »Mare of Easttown« and they are certainly top-class and well-played series. Therefore we warmly congratulate all the winners, but we would have liked a little more versatility and geek stuff...
