"Television. The most powerful medium ever created, watched by billions of people around the world. With that sign, to introduce a comedy sketch, the Emmy Awards began, honoring the best of American television. Perhaps today that maxim is debatable, with the arrival of the internet, but on this Sunday night, in the United States, it once again held true and relevant."
"The evening, with a dull and scarcely political ceremony aside from Javier Bardem's Palestinian keffiyeh left three clear winners. Adolescence (Netflix) became a success as a miniseries, with six out of seven awards, making it clear that this is no longer a minor category. The Pitt (HBO Max) pulled ahead as best drama over Severance (Apple TV+), its competitor, thanks to three awards, compared to two for the drama created by Ben Stiller."
"Creator Seth Rogen dedicated the award to dozens of people, among them Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, who was in the audience. But, to the disappointment of diehards of the show, Rogen made no mention to Sal Saperstein. R. Scott Gemmill, creator of 'The Pitt', collects the Emmy for best drama for his series.Chris Pizzello (Invision/AP) Colbert handed out the first award of the night Best Actor in a Comedy to Seth Rogen for The Studio."
