The 70th Emmy Awards was definitely an eventful one despite the dull hosts who made Emmy's atmosphere more like watching the Academy Awards. Their constant jibes at the racism that has been prevalent when shortlisting the winners, became a bit of a killjoy. Some of the scripted scene sequences did not have the humour that they expected to showcase. Even celebrities spelling out the jokes for the audience weren't giving it their all because it certainly wasn't humorous, caustic or interesting in any way.
The awards, to be honest, were also quite predictable. Those who have been following the latest in the television world would know for sure that the celebrities or TV shows that took home the coveted trophy did deserve them! Sure, not all the favourite faces of TV won the award but their red carpet presence definitely helped us cheer up! The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, The Assassination of Giannini Versace: American Crime Story were the big winners of the night with maximum awards in their kitty. Check out all the winners of the nights!
