There was no shortage of surprises and curious moments at the 2024 Emmys ceremony, but not everything went smoothly and politically correctly. Shogun, Hacks y My stuffed reindeer dominate in awards that are considered unfair, including the one that won Jodie Fosterwho won his first Emmy with one of his least acclaimed works.
The 76th Annual Emmy Awards were held on Monday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.The ceremony, hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, crowned the night’s big winners: Shogun in the drama category, Hacks in the comedy and Baby Reindeer (My stuffed reindeer) in the miniseries category. Despite being a gala without any big surprises, there were moments that stood out for both their brilliance and their discomfort. It was the second gala of the year after the previous edition was delayed due to the strike in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps the most notable historical moment was Jodie Foster, who took home her first Emmy for her performance in True Detective: Night CountryIn his speech, Foster thanked Alaska’s indigenous communities, whose support was essential to the making of the series. He also dedicated the award to his wife, “the love of his life,” Alexandra Hedison.
Another of the big stars of the night was Liza Colón-Zayas: the actress from The Bear won his first Emmy for his portrayal of Tina, the tough but vulnerable cook in the series. Colon-Zayas, A veteran of the New York theater scene, she encouraged Latinas to continue fighting for their rights: “Keep believing and vote,” she exclaimed with great emotion.
Absence of political speeches
With the current situation in the US, jokes and political demands were missed.: The absence of political speeches has been commented on on social networks. It is true that John Leguizamo and Billy Crudup tiptoed around the issue of the presidential elections, but in general self-censorship prevailed.
In one of the most confusing moments of the night, British screenwriter Will Smith (not to be confused with the actor from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air)from the series Slow Horsesmade a comment about his name while collecting his award, ironically recalling the infamous Oscars incident with the other Will Smith.
Besides, Jeremy Allen Whitewinner for the second consecutive time as Best Actor in a Comedy Series for The Bearsuffered the censorship of a part of his speech. “This series has changed my life. It has instilled in me the faith that change is possible. Change is possible. If you are able to reach out you will never be alone. I thank this program, my parents, I love them. Annabel, my sister, is here. I love you so much. Thank you for coming with me tonight. Ezra and Loui, I love you so, so, so much, you are my heart. Thank you all, thank you all,” he said. Then, the Academy prevented the expression with which he ended his words from being heard, considering it blasphemous, “Jesus Christ!”
The winners of the red carpet
As for the looks (transparencies, glitter and lots of pink), the best of the red carpet goes to Jennifer Aniston. The protagonist of Friends She was the queen of the red carpet along with Selena Gomez, Sofia Vergara, Eiza Gonzalez. Naomi Watts o Meryl Streep were perhaps the most elegant.
