For the first time in Emmys history, black actors swept all four guest acting categories at the Creative Arts Emmys yesterday. The Guest Actor in a Drama winners were Samira Wiley for The Handmaid’s Tale and veteran character actor Ron Cephas Jones (Luke Cage) for This is Us. The Guest Actor in a Comedy awards went to comedian Katt Williams for Atlanta and the hilarious Tiffany Haddish for her gig hosting Saturday Night Live. Boo Boo Jeffries forever!
This year’s Emmy nominations feature a record 36 diverse acting nominees across all categories, a sign not only of television’s growing diversity but of the industry’s recognition of their talent. Here’s hoping we’ll see more of this at the Primetime Emmys on September 17th.
