Emmy Awards Recap: ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘The Crown’ Make History

Last night’s Emmys award ceremony was swept by British shows. Ted Lasso was the most surprising winner of the night taking home four Emmys and leading all comedies with 20 nominations. The hit show is a product of Apple TV’s network. This story brought light to a time as negativity wrapped in sickness surrounds the world.

Ted Lasso is led by Jason Sudeikis, a household name after starring in films such as Horrible Bosses, We’re the Millers and Hall Pass. Sudeikis finally received his flowers as a football coach who moves to London to coach a professional soccer team in the English Premier League. Lasso brought in awards for best lead actor (Sudeikis), outstanding comedy series, supporting actress (Hannah Waddingham), and supporting actor (Brett Goldstein).

The Crown brought in 24 nominees which tied with Disney+’s The Mandalorian for most-nominated drama series. The series is led by Olivia Colman, who you may know from Peep Show and Hot Fuzz. Colman, alongside Josh O’Conner, who has played in numerous supporting roles throughout the last decade of his career, stole the show last night at the Emmys.

Last night’s fans were rooting for some nominees to make history, shows like Marvel’s WandaVision. It would have been interesting to see the comic book giant take home an illustrious award for not just special effects, but great storytelling on the small screen.

HBO’s Lovecraft Country was another Emmy miss we wanted to break barriers especially with the recent passing of Legendary Actor Michael K. Williams.

Who do you think got snubbed last night, also what do you think of last night’s winners? Let us know in the comments.
