Baranski had worked steadily since the 1970s. She debuted on Broadway in 1980’s Hide & Seek , and earned her first Tony just four years later for Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing. (She got another in 1989 for Neil Simon’s Rumors.) Add in her Emmy for Cybil and she’s halfway to being an EGOT.
Transparent creator Jill Soloway won the Emmy for Comedy Direction and voiced her happiness at being able to be “part of a movement” by putting queer people at the center of a television series changing the world.
“Thank you to the trans community for your lived lives,” she said before encouraging viewers to “topple the patriarchy.”
Additionally, Kate McKinnon brought home a win early on in the 68th annual Emmy Awards In Los Angeles, snagging the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Saturday Night Live.
The out lesbian star fought back tears as she thanked some of the women she’s imitated in several now-legendary skits, including Ellen Degeneres and Hillary Clinton.
Sarah Paulson took home the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayal of Marcia Clark in The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. (Paulson is bisexual.)
One of the evening’s standout moments occurred during Jeffrey Tambor’s acceptance speech. The actor claimed the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as transgender woman Maura Pfefferman in Transparent and challenged Hollywood to be more inclusive of trans people.
“Listen to me, I’m not gonna say this beautifully, but to you people out there, you producers and network owners and you agents and you creative sparks, please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions. Give them their story,” he said to an applauding audience. “I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female gender on television. We have work to do.”
His sentiments were echoed later in the evening by transgender actress Laverne Cox, who thanked Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan for giving her the opportunity to play her breakout role in the series.
Watch the moving moment from Tambor’s Emmy acceptance speech below.
It was an unusually dark moment in the vanilla-as-Puddin’-Pops ceremony known as the Emmy’s Awards when a certain “Dr. Bill Cosby” was crisply announced as the next presenter.
Turned out it was a bit of particularly ballsy trolling on behalf of host Jimmy Kimmel, who quipped, “Don’t worry, he’s not really here. I just wanted to see what you guys would do.”
The audience went ashen and gaspy. A certain Tina Fey attempted to quell her own rapidly melting face as she boggled at the announcement, quickly recovering when she realized it was a joke.
Take a look here:
Twitter quickly seized on the moment with a vice grip and has yet to release its grasp:
So said a visibly shellshocked Rami Malek upon accepting his first Emmy award for his arresting work in Mr. Robot, a show we’re compulsively watching, re-watching, re-re-watching, and occasionally re-re-re-watching.
While we can’t pretend to care too much what happens at any of these award shows, and in fact usually find them to be the televised equivalent of Nembutal, this was a well-deserved win, and we’re always happy to see Malek in anything, particularly that white tuxedo.
Kit Harington made a pass at Bloodline actor Kyle Chandler on stage at the Emmys Sunday night, and the internet unanimously agreed that theirs is one relationship worth shipping.
The Game of Thrones star joined comedian Andy Samberg to co-present the award for Best Variety Talk Series, but not before delivering some one-liners they hoped would make it into next year’s Emmy commercial.
“No, I won’t kiss you, Kyle Chandler,” Samberg declared, to which Harington replied coyly, “Yes, I will kiss you, Kyle Chandler.”
The camera cut to Chandler, who was seated in the audience, flashing an intrigued look that had fans on Twitter hoping for a kiss on the spot:
"Yes, Kyle Chandler, I will kiss you." And the entire internet was like: GET IN LINE, KIT HARINGTON.
Tambor made the statement in his Emmy acceptance speech Sunday night.

For the second year in a row, Jeffrey Tambor took home an Emmy for his portrayal of Maura Pfefferman, the transgender matriarch of the dysfunctional Pfefferman clan on Transparent.
Though Tambor has been widely praised for his powerful performance of Maura, he’s also faced criticism for playing a transgender woman as a cisgender male. Rather than ignore that feedback, as other actors in his position have, Tambor decided to give it voice in his impassioned acceptance speech.
“I’m not going to say this beautifully,” he began, “but to you people out there—you producers, you network owners, you agents and you creative sparks—please give transgender talent a chance…give them their stories.”
“I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender character on TV,” he concluded.
Tambor is just the latest in a long string of cisgender actors to receive critical acclaim for their portrayals of trans women, including Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club and Eddie Redmayne in the The Danish Girl.
Most recently, Mark Ruffalo has been taken to task for casting Matt Bomer as the lead in his upcoming film, Anything, which centers on the experiences of a transgender prostitute.
When it was announced that Bomer, an openly gay man, would be playing a trans female character, activists were quick to speak out against the offensive and problematic choice.
As GLAAD’s Nick Adams wrote: “If you are more concerned with the bottom line or with star power or with how your product will sell overseas, then don’t write transgender characters into your projects. We would rather be left out than be constantly portrayed as something we’re not.”
After three decades in the entertainment business, RuPaul made history this month with an Emmy win for Outstanding Host of a Reality Program.

OK, present Day Jon Voight I cannot get on board with... his politics mostly. But... Over the past year, having watching Deliverance and Midnight Cowboy... that Jon Voight, I could board.
First off, today's EMMY Post is a bit last minute. I have been covering Award shows on FH the last few years with a skin salute to the nominee's. Recently, they began to get a bit repetitive, and to be honest, they have been getting a little boring to put together, the nominee's were often the same actors, year after year. (how many nude Bryan Cranston scenes can you enthusiastically cap...) I also wasn't sure readers were enjoying the award themed days.But, after getting home tonight, my need for tradition took over...
I have always loved award shows, ever since I was a little kid. I admit the bloom is a bit off the rose, but growing up in a small city, far far away from Hollywood, they were a bit of window to a world I spent a lot of time dreaming about. Every award show has a few moments that stand out. I remember Charlie's Angelsreuniting at the 2006 EMMY'S and the DALLAS women given an award to Jane Fonda in the late 80's.
I also love the 'theme song' numbers that take me back recording TV show intros on my little 12 inch bedroom TV when I was growing up. I love television, and the EMMY'S always kick off the award season, and the fall television season. To stimulate my interest this year, I decided to take a brief look back to when I first started watching the EMMY'S. It gave me a renewed interest in posting this year. Hope you enjoy this year's edition and if not remember, the EMMY'S only come along once a year!
With a historic Emmy win under his belt and a nail-biting season of Drag Race All Stars on the air, RuPaul’s has never shined brighter.
The legendary entertainer called into VH1 Live! to talk to Marc Lamont Hill about the latest All Stars elimination and how the political climate has changed in recent years.
Ru also revealed that he was stunned to win the Emmy for Best Reality Host, sure it would go to Ryan Seacrest instead.
“He has made a lot of people rich and he has put a lot of people to work,” Ru said with a smile on his face and his Emmy in his hand.
Watch the full interview below.
The Creative Arts Emmys air tonight, September 17, at 8pm on FX. And watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 2 every Thursday at 8/7c on Logo.
"You’re going to be shocked by this, but I voted for RuPaul. He so deserves it. It’s a really funny show — it would be a feather in the cap of the TV Academy to give a trophy to a transgender [note: RuPaul is a drag queen, not a transgender person], and I’d give anything to hear his acceptance speech."
— Anonymous Emmy voter, spilling the tea on their 2016 ballot and being corrected by the good editors at The Hollywood Reporter. And on that note, what’s so shocking about it?! At least they got the part about Ru deserving it right.
