Emmys: Peter Dinklage Wins Supporting Actor Award

Veep, the political satire from HBO, bagged four, including the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Uzo Aduba, “Orange is the New Black“, Netflix.

Drama Series: “Game of Thrones“, HBO.

The show also won outstanding directing for a drama series (David Nutter, Mother’s Mercy) and outstanding writing for a drama series (David Benioff and D.B.Weiss). But was that second kiss just a way for him to ditch his gum?

In her acceptance speech, the Amazon Prime web-series creator told the Microsoft Theatre that America has a “trans civil rights problem”. She invoked the words and spirit of 19th-century American abolitionist Harriet Tubman in accepting the award.

“The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity”, Davis said.

Television’s biggest stars have hit the red carpet for the 67 Primetime Emmy Awards and of course we’re keeping a close eye on their footwear.

Comedy Central also scored several awards, thanks in large part to the final season of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”. Peter has been nominated each year since HBO aired the TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire.

Actress, Comedy Series: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep“, HBO. “It’s incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here”, Hamm said.

“I wasn’t prepared because the other actors in my category, I’m still sort of awed by all of their performances”.

Olive Kitteridge, written by one lesbian (Jane Anderson) and directed by another (Lisa Cholodenko), ended up with six awards: Best limited series, best director, best writing, best lead actress (Frances McDormand), best lead actor (Richard Jenkins) and supporting actor (Bill Murray).
