\"Emmys<\/div>\n
\n
\n Los Angeles, United States: <\/b><\/p>\n

Japanese-language feudal epic Shogun made Emmys history on Sunday as the most awarded show in a single season and the first non-English language winner of the coveted Best Drama prize. The brightest stars of the small screen gathered in Los Angeles for the gala, the biggest night in television. Here are a few other memorable moments from the ceremony:<\/p>\n

‘It always gets better’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Netflix’s smash word-of-mouth hit Baby Reindeer has been controversial because of the streamer’s claim that it is a “true story.”<\/p>\n

Comedian Richard Gadd, whose dark story is the basis of the series, won a writing award for his efforts — one of three statuettes for him overall — and used his acceptance speech to encourage others going through difficulty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Ten years ago, I was down and out, right? I never ever thought I’d get my life together. I never ever thought I’d be able to rectify myself for what had happened to me, and get myself back on my feet again.<\/p>\n

“And then here I am, just over a decade later, picking up one of the biggest writing awards in television.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know much about this life… but I do know that nothing lasts forever, and no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better.”<\/p>\n

No rest for the winners<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Hacks” scored a surprise win as best comedy, beating out “The Bear,” showrunner Lucia Aniello revealed the cast and crew did not have much time to luxuriate in their victory.<\/p>\n

“Please support comedy. It speaks truth to power. It really does,” she said, as the music began to play her off the stage.<\/p>\n

“So support your local comedian, and we have to go because we start shooting the next season in five days.”<\/p>\n

The election<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a few weeks out from a hotly contested presidential election pitting Democrat Kamala Harris against Republican former president Donald Trump, it’s no surprise that a few of those present dived into politics.<\/p>\n

Candice Bergen, who played a TV journalist in the long-running US sitcom “Murphy Brown,” recalled how her character was attacked by former Republican vice president Dan Quayle for raising a child as a single mother.<\/p>\n

“Oh, how far we’ve come. Today, a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids,” she quipped, a reference to Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who has lashed out at “childless cat ladies.”<\/p>\n

“So as they say: my work here is done. Meow!”<\/p>\n

‘I come in peace’\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been few awards gala moments in recent years as memorable as when Will Smith barged on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So when another Will Smith took to the stage on Sunday to receive his Emmy for best writing for a drama series with Slow Horses, which stars Gary Oldman, he acknowledged the moment.<\/p>\n

“First of all: relax,” he told the audience.<\/p>\n

“Despite my name, I come in peace.”<\/p>\n

Who’s a good boy?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comedian John Oliver, whose Last Week Tonight with John Oliver scooped the Emmy for best-scripted variety series, began his acceptance speech with the usual litany of thanks to cast and crew, but then took a sharp turn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First he bungled the name of his son — calling the boy “husband” before correcting himself to “Hudson,” noting: “That’s going to come back to haunt me.”<\/p>\n

Then he veered into the topic of pets.<\/p>\n

“I also want to thank… our dog. We had the most fantastic dog, and she was at our wedding, and she got us through a pandemic. She was with us for two pregnancies, and… perfect choice of music,” he said as a funereal-sounding tune started up to encourage him to finish up.<\/p>\n

“We had to say goodbye to her.”<\/p>\n

“This isn’t just for her. This is for all dogs. All dogs, you’re all very good girls. You’re very good boys. You all deserve a treat.”<\/p>\n
