EMMYS RECAP;

Michaela Coel became the first black women ever to win the Emmy for writing in a Limited Series.

Hulu’s ‘The Handmaids Tale’ lost all 21 nominations at the Emmys, setting the record for the most losses in a single year, topping AMC’s ‘Mad Men’ zero for 17 that occurred in 2012.

Emmy Awards made a history with the amount of diverse nominations for their acting categories this year, 50% of the nominees were people of color and none of them brought anything home yet again.

Billy Porter and Mj Rodriguez (“Pose”), the late Michael K. Williams (“Lovecraft Country”) and Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang (“Saturday Night Live”) were among the favorites to win an Emmy award this year.

Anya-Taylor Joy was completely robbed at the Emmys as well.

Issa Rae and Robin Thede gave us a moment.
