Seth Rogen slams Emmys 2021 for being COVID unsafe

Comedian Cedric the Entertainer opened the 73rd Emmy Awards, the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars, in Los Angeles on Sunday with a group musical number.

Rappers LL Cool J and Lil Dicky, and actress Rita Wilson led the celebrities in attendance in a version of late rapper Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" riffing on the year's nominated television shows.&nbsp;

A scaled-down ceremony is being held in a tent at an outdoor venue with a limited live audience due to ongoing Covid-19 concerns -- a year after the show was forced to go virtual.

"Let me start by saying there are way too many of us in this little room," joked Seth Rogen.&nbsp;

"Why is there a roof? It's more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don't kill Eugene Levy tonight," he added.

Netflix is tipped to finally end its long wait for a top series prize at the Emmys, with "The Crown" a frontrunner in the drama category and "The Queen's Gambit" in the running for best limited series.

Hannah Waddingham won the night's first award for supporting actress in "Ted Lasso," which is expected to score across the comedy prizes. Her co-star Brett Goldstein took the supporting actor prize.

In-person Emmys open with musical number

Television's top stars gathered for the first time in two years on Sunday at the Emmy Awards, where "The Crown" took four awards in the first hour and is tipped to finally win the small screen's biggest prize for Netflix.

The critically adored British royals saga will battle for the best drama prize with "Star Wars" series "The Mandalorian" at a ceremony held in a tent at an outdoor Los Angeles venue with a limited live audience due to ongoing Covid-19 concerns.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-emmy-awards-2021-full-list-of-winners-414289">Emmy Awards 2021: Full list of winners</a>

Leading streamer Netflix has utterly transformed the TV landscape since creating its first original show in 2012, but surprisingly has never won a top series prize at television's equivalent of the Oscars -- best drama, best comedy, or best limited series.

"'The Crown' does feel like it finally has come to the moment where it's going to have its moment," Variety awards editor Clayton Davis told AFP. "It's going to be the first big series win for Netflix."

Indeed, the show captured both prizes for actors in supporting roles, including one for Gillian Anderson for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher. It also took awards for best writing and directing.

As well as "The Crown" -- which in its fourth season depicts the ill-fated marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana -- the streaming giant is banking on the wildly popular "The Queen's Gambit."

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as a gifted but troubled chess prodigy, that show sent chessboard sales skyrocketing worldwide, and is the favorite to win top honors in the fiercely competitive limited series section -- for shows ending after one season.

But Apple TV+ global smash hit "Ted Lasso" claimed the night's first two awards in comedy for supporting actress Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein.

The show about an out-of-his-depth American football coach handed control of an English soccer team is expected to score across the comedy categories, including for star Jason Sudeikis.

- 'Fun, ritzy party' -

Last year's ceremony -- held before coronavirus vaccines were available -- was a mainly virtual affair.

This time a strict guest list of 500-odd nominees gathered under strict pandemic precautions including proof of inoculation, with producers promising a "fun, ritzy party" for those who clear security.&nbsp;

The show opened with rappers LL Cool J and Lil Dicky and actress Rita Wilson leading the celebrities in a singalong of late rapper Biz Markie's "Just A Friend," riffing on the year's nominated television shows.&nbsp;

But following the musical number, actor Seth Rogen nodded to the circumstances, joking that "there are way too many of us in this little room."

"Why is there a roof? It's more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don't kill Eugene Levy tonight," he added.

In a change to the usual running order, the increasingly prestigious best limited series award will end Sunday's ceremony.

Quirky sitcom-inspired Marvel superhero show "WandaVision" -- up for the prize in that category -- on Disney+ has exceeded all critical expectations.

But it lost out on the limited series supporting actress award to Julianne Nicholson in "Mare of Easttown." The small-town detective drama starring Kate Winslet also earned supporting actor honors for Evan Peters.

The category also features "The Queen's Gambit," British break-out series "I May Destroy You," which examines the aftermath of a rape, and Barry Jenkins' slavery adaptation "The Underground Railroad."

- 'Not possible' -

If anyone can ruin Netflix's party in the big final prizes, it may be Disney+, the new kid on the TV streaming block in just its second year, bringing beloved big-screen characters from "Star Wars" and Marvel films to the Emmys party.

Baby Yoda and a digitally de-aged Luke Skywalker helped "The Mandalorian" jointly top the overall nominations count alongside rival drama "The Crown."&nbsp;

An outside bet for best drama is "Pose" -- Billy Porter's LGBTQ-focused show exploring New York's 1980s underground ballroom culture has mounted a dazzling Emmys campaign for its final season.

Porter became the first openly gay black man to win the best drama actor prize two years ago, and co-star Mj Rodriguez could now make history as the first transgender winner in the lead actress category.

"I got into this business in the 80s -- this was not possible. I was not possible. I, Billy Porter, was illegal," Porter told presenters on the pre-show red carpet.&nbsp;

"So my goal is to remember how far we've come and... continue to move forward."

In-person Emmys return as Netflix eyes TV's top prize with 'The Crown'

The Rose family from the hit show 'Schitt's Creek' had a hilarious reunion on stage at the Emmy awards on Sunday night.&nbsp; 
 
The cast of the hit show 'Schitt's Creek' which swept 20202 Emmys- Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy and Catherine O'Hara- returned on stage this time to present the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy series and drew in some laughs themselves for their staged yet funny flub with the teleprompter.&nbsp; 
 
As the four walked, they were greeted with a standing ovation by the audience. As the quartet gathered around to announce the category, Dan noticed there was "nothing on the prompter" for them to read.&nbsp;

Annie accused Eugene's face of "being weird," and Dan asked if his dad had something to do with the blunder. 
The 74-year-old actor got defensive, saying, "I didn't do anything," but eventually he fessed up: "I may have passed the writers' room this morning and asked them to lift the dialogue a little bit," as the audience erupted into laughter. He alleged that this could be a possible 'punishment'.&nbsp;

Emmy Awards 2021: 'Schitt's Creek' cast reunites on stage for a hilarious staged teleprompter flub 

Netflix was the big winner at Sunday's <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/worst-dressed-celebs-at-emmys-2021-red-carpet-414381">Emmys</a>, bagging best drama and limited series awards for 'The Crown'&nbsp;and 'The Queen's Gambit'&nbsp;to finish on a joint-record overall haul of 44 awards.&nbsp;

Here are five other takeaways from television's version of the Oscars:

- 'Qwhite' the Emmy ceremony -&nbsp;

Hollywood's record on diversity has come under the spotlight in recent years.

A raft of nominees of colour at this year's Emmys could have helped rebalance what has traditionally been a very white-dominated event.

African-American actors including Courtney B Vance, Sterling K Brown and Maya Rudolph won for guest roles or voiceover performances, awards that were given out ahead of Sunday's gala.

There were gongs for Michaela Coel, writer of 'I May Destroy You,'&nbsp;and reality presenter RuPaul.

But in the end, all 12 major acting prize winners went to white performers, with frontrunners such as the late Michael K. Williams missing out.

"This is...qwhite a list of Emmy winners!" tweeted author Mark Harris midway through the show.

The television industry lost two of its favourite sons in the weeks leading up to the Emmys.

Michael K. Williams, whose Baltimore stick-up man Omar Little was a key ingredient in the success of seminal HBO crime drama 'The Wire,'&nbsp;died this month of a suspected drug overdose.

Kerry Washington ('Little Fires Everywhere') praised "a brilliantly talented actor, and a generous human being who has left us far too soon."

Williams missed out on a posthumous drama supporting actor prize, which instead went to Tobias Menzies of 'The Crown.'

The late 'Saturday Night Live'&nbsp;comic Norm Macdonald attracted plaudits, including from double-winner John Oliver. "No one was funnier in the last 20 years than Norm Macdonald on late night comedy," said the 'Last Week Tonight'&nbsp;host.

"If you have any time in the next week, do what I did and just spend time YouTubing clips of Norm and Conan (O'Brien) because it just doesn't get better than that."

- Women's rights -&nbsp;

Kate Winslet was one of several winners to praise Hollywood's progress on female representation, both in front of and behind the camera.

"It means a huge amount because it makes me feel genuinely that our industry is changing," said Winslet, who took home the prize for best actress in a limited series for 'Mare of Easttown.'

"I am honestly starting to feel that that the shifts are happening. And I think that we're finger-pointing a lot less at women, in terms of how they look, their shape."

But broader women's rights issues were highlighted through the show, with career achievement honoree Debbie Allen urging women "from Texas to Afghanistan" to "claim your voice."

And Coel, who penned 'I May Destroy You'&nbsp;about the aftermath of a rape, dedicated her writing award to "every single survivor of sexual assault."

- Scaled-down Emmys -

After last year's pandemic-mandated virtual event, nominees were welcomed back in person at the Emmys -- but only a lucky few of them.

Each nomination earned a maximum of three invitations to the socially distanced 500-person, partially outdoor venue (the ceremony typically has an audience of 4,000-6,000).

"We were only allowed a small number to come so the show sent the hottest writers -- which I understand is an oxymoron," joked "Last Week Tonight" writer Chrissy Shackelford.

Even so, actor Seth Rogen joked early in the ceremony that there were "way too many of us in this little room."

He added: "They lied to us. We're in a hermetically sealed tent right now."

- Not another recall? -

Less than a week ago, California held a recall election that saw its governor Gavin Newsom remain in place -- after the state had spent a fortune mounting the vote.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert poked fun at the process on Sunday, announcing that the 2018 Emmy awarded to comedy 'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel'&nbsp;had also been put up to a renewed poll.

"California law does allow for the recall of any Emmy Award if enough signatures are first obtained, meaning the 2018 Emmy winner for Best Comedy could soon be the Marvelous Mrs Larry Elder," said Colbert, referring to Newsom's Republican opponent.

"With 100 percent of precincts reporting, 'Mrs Maisel' has survived the recall... Congratulations, and it only cost California $275 million."

Emmys 2021: Five key takeaways from the big night

The 2021 Emmys is the latest awards show to have been called for its lack of diversity as it announced its winners in a glittering ceremony on Sunday night.&nbsp; 
 
To be fair, critics had already predicted this year's Emmy awards- considered the highest TV honour in America- would lack representation as shows like 'Ted Lasso', 'The Crown' and 'The Handmaid's Tale' led the nomination list. All these show have predominantly all-white cast and creative teams. The prophecy did come true on Sunday night as first 15 winners of the night were white.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-emmy-awards-2021-full-list-of-winners-414289" hreflang="en">Emmy Awards 2021: Full list of winners</a>

Even the unexpected winners of the night like 'Mare of Easttown' and 'Hacks' had white winners.&nbsp; 
 
The show though featured several presenters of colour- including Kerry Washington, Bowen , Bowen Yang, Taraji P. Henson, Ken Jeong, and the Native American cast of Reservation Dogs- but the winners list was mostly white, which did not go unnoticed on social media as #emmyssowhite started trending. The show was even hosted by&nbsp;Cedric the Entertainer.

Winfrey`s two-hour sit-down with Harry and Meghan in March sent shock waves through the British monarchy when Meghan accused Britain’s royal family of raising concerns about how dark the skin of the couple`s first child would be and said the stress of life as a royal newlywed had pushed her to the brink of suicide.

Emmys 2021: Covid-19 testing, proof of vaccine a must for attendees

Emmys 2021 will have to be different given the rise in coronavirus cases yet again. After it was announced to have a limited red carpet, the Television Academy announced that the 73rd Emmy Awards’ venue is being changed.&nbsp;

The Television Academy and CBS have decided to host all ceremonies, including the separate Creative Arts Emmys, on the Event Deck at L.A. Live, directly behind the Microsoft Theater. This will provide an opportunity to “utilize an indoor/outdoor setting and more socially-distanced audience seating.”&nbsp;

The Emmys 2021 event had been set to take place inside the Microsoft Theater. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/emmy-awards-2021-the-crown-the-mandalorian-lead-nominations-heres-the-complete-list-397919">Find the full Emmys nominations list here for this year</a>

Jennifer Aniston landed five, Lisa Kudrow earned six and Matt LeBlanc garnered three. David Schwimmer received one nomination.

Don Cheadle is surprised at earning an Emmy nod for his 98 second cameo: 'I don't really get it'

"The Crown" and "The Mandalorian" led the charge in Tuesday's Emmy nominations, as television prepares to honor a year transformed by the pandemic.

Here are six takeaways:

- Streamers sink or swim -

In a TV era widely dubbed the "streaming wars," the various new online platforms had a hugely mixed day.

Disney+ and Apple TV+ triumphed among the new kids on the block, earning 71 and 34 nods in their second years (up from 19 and 18 on debut.)

And HBO Max chipped in with original streaming titles such as "Hacks" and "The Flight Attendant" to edge HBO's combined total, just past rival Netflix in the overall network race.

But in an increasingly crowded marketplace, Paramount+ earned just six nods and NBC's Peacock crashed out with only two nominations on their launch years.

- TV or not TV? -&nbsp;

With each passing year, the Emmys is forced to re-assess an existential question: what actually is television?

Is it Steve McQueen's critically adored "Small Axe" -- an anthology of five films made for the small-screen about London's West Indian immigrants, which did not compete at the Oscars?

Or is it "Hamilton" -- a live taping of the Broadway smash-hit stage musical, bundled onto Disney+?

The boundaries are becoming more and more blurred by streaming, but Emmy voters at least made their preferences clear on Tuesday.

"Hamilton" bagged 12 nods, including a whopping seven acting nominations, while "Small Axe" earned a paltry one for cinematography.

- First-time noms -

With the pandemic restricting TV productions all year, many established shows were missing -- creating room for a flock of first-time acting nominees to break through.

Forty-four rising stars earned debut acting recognition this year, including "I May Destroy You" creator and actress Michaela Coel, "Bridgerton" heart-throb Rege-Jean Page, and "WandaVision" lead Elizabeth Olsen.

"The Crown" newcomers Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin are first-time favorites for their lead roles as Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as is Anya Taylor-Joy for "The Queen's Gambit."&nbsp;

And Kaley Cuoco finally took her first nomination for "The Flight Attendant," after years without recognition in the massively popular sitcom "The Big Bang Theory."

- Transgender history -

MJ Rodriguez, another first-time nominee, made history as the first transgender woman nominated for a lead acting role at the Emmys.

Rodriguez stars as mother hen Blanca Rodriguez in "Pose," the groundbreaking FX show which explores New York's underground ballroom culture in the 1980s.

GLAAD, a US organization that promotes greater LGBTQ inclusion in the media, hailed her nomination as "a breakthrough for transgender women in Hollywood."

- Courteney and Conan -

There was a strong nostalgic air to Tuesday's nominations -- in particular for Courteney Cox and Conan O'Brien.

Cox was famously the one "Friends" star never nominated for an Emmy during the wildly popular sitcom's original run.

Voters finally remedied that -- to an extent -- that by nominating the much-maligned "Friends: The Reunion," on which Cox served as an executive producer, for four awards including best pre-recorded variety special.

Meanwhile veteran late-night talk host O'Brien, who retired "Conan" last month, received his first Emmy nod in the variety series section for 10 years.

- Britney doc -

Pop star Britney Spears is embroiled in a high-profile legal battle to end the guardianship she has been under ever since her very public breakdown in 2008.

Just a day before another major hearing at Los Angeles court, she is back in the spotlight thanks to a pair of Emmy nominations for feature-length documentary "Framing Britney Spears."

Produced by FX and The New York Times, it focuses on the role of paparazzi and the tabloid press in the downfall of the singer, and helped draw attention to her adoring fans' #FreeBritney campaign.

Cedric The Entertainer will host this year’s Emmy Awards.&nbsp;

On bagging the hosting job, Cedric The Entertainment said, “Since I was a little boy huddled up next to my grandmother, television has always been my reliable friend, so it is an enormous honor for me to host this year’s Emmy Awards. Throughout the roller-coaster of a year that we have all lived through, television has helped us stay connected as a society like never before. It not only entertained us, but as it always has, it helped to open our eyes, educate us, and hopefully brought about a better understanding of who we are as a people. I can’t wait to take the stage to celebrate all of the great shows and performances that made us laugh, cry, dance and sing over the past year.”

The Emmy Awards 2021 will return to the Microsoft Theatre venue in downtown Los Angeles. It will be held on September 19, 2021 and will feature a limited in-person audience of nominees and their guests after last year’s virtual affair.

Cedric The Entertainer to host Emmy Awards 2021

In a rather strange incident, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences misidentified actor Marguerite Ray during the In Memoriam segment of the Daytime Emmys on CBS. They have now apologised for their mistake.&nbsp;

It so happened that ‘The Young and the Restless’ star Marguerite Ray’s name appeared on screen with a photograph of Veronica Redd, who is alive.

Issuing their apology, the Daytime Emmys Twitter account posted: “During last night’s #DaytimeEmmys telecast, the In Memoriam segment included an incorrect picture in our remembrance of the late Y&amp;R actress Marguerite Ray.”

“We deeply regret this error and intend to re-edit the sequence for subsequent digital releases once a replacement image can be appropriately licensed. We sincerely apologize to the Ray family — as well as to Veronica Redd, whose image was inadvertently used instead. Each of these Daytime icons deserved better from our Academy.”

From 1980 to 1990, Marguerite Ray played the role of Mamie Johnson. She died in December 2020 at the age of 89.
