"the only black nominee' is par for course in White Hollywood

Is Zendaya the first person to compete on Dancing With The Stars and only have their career go up from there?

I mean she was also the hot new thing which tends to work in a show's/actor's favor. Her and Jennifer were the only two so if Zendaya didn't get it I'd expect it to have been Jennifer. I have to respectfully disagree about the quality of her performance. She's terrific. I didn't even like Zendaya until Euphoria. She won me over.

Yeah she was fantastic. The only unfortunate thing about it is I forgot Hunter Schafer didn't get nominated in Supporting. I'm fine with the show not getting nominated for Drama, it was wildly uneven. But the performances were terrific.

It's a pretty big accomplishment to see a little Canadian show sweep the four major acting categories, Writing, Directing and the top honor prize. Never been done before in comedy or drama. I think they're getting attention for sweeping the acting categories as that in itself hadn't been done either, but it's a huge deal to sweep them all. The Emmys are notorious for spreading the wealth. Good for Schitt's Creek.

Zendaya definitely won for this scene.



She was AMAZING on that series so that win was a lovely surprise. Though I also thought Jennifer and Laura were great on their respective shows too.

Also the "Schitt's Creek" sweep was fantastic.

Zendaya's win was definitely earned IMO even if a part of me would have liked to see Laura Linney get that award, especially after her incredible work in Ozark: Season 3. Eurphoria is what finally convinced me that she was indeed a talented actress, because I saw none of that in the MCU Spider-Man movies.

Watchmen also getting so much love last night really warmed my hear though, because damn does that show deserve it, especially after all the woke backlash it endured online last year. It was good seeing The Mandalorian win something as well, but I knew it wouldn't dominate no matter how much I love that show.
