The Emmy Goes to…

The small screen had its big night Monday.

Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay stole the show at the 78th Emmy Awards, winning Outstanding Comedy en route to a comedy-record 14 statuettes. Its star, Matthew Rhys, left with a trophy in each hand, completing the first-ever lead-acting trifecta by adding Comedy (Widow’s Bay) and Limited Series (The Beast in Me) to Drama (The Americans, 2018).

The Pitt repeated as Outstanding Drama, Jean Smart (Hacks) and Allison Janney (The Diplomat) joined a four-way tie for most acting Emmys ever (8), and Stephen Colbert’s show won in its final season.

Olivia Benson Mariska Hargitay was the first female host in 15 years and brought Taylor Swift along (well, sort of). Dolly Parton, Catherine O’Hara, and Rob Reiner were honored; and the biggest surprise went to… the telecast ending three minutes early. See every winner.

Verse to consider when you win the award, make the shot, close the deal, or nail a meal: “Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
