The latest updates from the Emmy Awards

The victor for the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series goes to… Allison Janney of “Mom” and Tony Hale of “Veep” were repeat winners for supporting comedy acting honors.

“Transparent” creator Jill Soloway and star Jeffrey Tambor continued their impassioned speeches backstage at the Emmys following their wins on Sunday.

Donald Trump is running for president, to the delight of uncles everywhere.

Peter Dinklage nabbed the best supporting drama actor award for “Game of Thrones“, which also won writing and directing trophies. I’ve got to say, sure Donald Trump seems racist – what else?

This year’s ceremony could be the first time a black actress wins in the top drama category.

An emotional Davis, who won for her portrayal of a ruthless lawyer in “How to Get Away With Murder“, invoked the words and spirit of 19th-century African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

Samberg even brought out Jane Lynch, who played the “evil nun” from Game of Thrones, to help.

“There were eight of us in this category”, Janney said.

Its competition includes the final season of “Mad Men“, poised to set a record as the most honoured drama series ever with a fifth award.

In addition to topping the aforementioned “Inside Amy Schumer” and “Parks & Recreation” actresses, Louis-Dreyfus also bested Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback), and Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie).

Blackwell, a British writer, joked, “We’d also like to thank HBO for letting us come over here and make fun of American politics and make American money”.

She added: “If it’s been 67 years since and actress of colour has won an Emmy, then there’s certainly been a line and it needs to be acknowledged just like the emperor being naked in the room”. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Andy Samberg is hosting the celebration of television talent for the first time.

Andy skips around town, visiting the stars of all his fave shows, like Jon Hamm and Kerry Washington, who learn the hard way that there wasn’t a shower or toilet in his bunker.

Stars are fanning themselves and struggling to stay – and look – cool on the sweltering Emmys red carpet.

Taraji P. Henson – nominated for her performance as hip-hop matriarch Cookie Lyon on Fox’s “Empire” – smoldered in an edgy black Alexander Wang gown with a revealing lace skirt and bad-girl chain-link straps.
