The 2019 Emmy Awards: Best Moments and Complete List of Winners
Hollywood award shows have continued to lose viewers in the past decade, and that was no exception with the 2019 Emmys, which attracted an all-time low of 6.9 million viewers. However, this year’s show managed to provide a handful of great moments including several much-deserved wins and powerful speeches from the night’s honored winners. If you didn’t tune in, here are the highlight moments of the ceremony.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a three-win night
Star of Fleabag, the best show of 2019 (seriously), Phoebe Waller-Bridge swept the Emmys, pulling off a three-win trifecta for Lead Actress in a Comedy, Writing for a Comedy Series, and Best Comedy. Upon receiving her Emmy for Lead Actress, the shocked starlet stated, “I find acting really hard and really painful.” At an after-party at the Chateau Marmont, a photo was snapped of her enjoying a cocktail and basking in the glory of her special night.
Billy Porter and Jharrel Jerome made Emmy history
Billy Porter, star of Pose, was the first openly gay black man to win Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series. A standout performer in When They See Us, Jharrel Jerome was the first Afro-Latino to win an acting Emmy. Both actors received the most enthusiastic standing ovations of the night.
Adam DeVine performed a ridiculous musical number with Samantha Bee
In a rather odd musical number, Adam DeVine and Samantha Bee performed an old-fashioned tribute to variety shows. In a segment of the show that really had us scratching our heads, the performance turned out to be a discombobulated mess riddled with randomness.
Game of Thrones took home Best Drama
Perhaps one of the most controversial selections of the night was that of Game of Thrones. It’s no secret that the popular show’s final season was, to be put lightly, not well received by fans. This didn’t stop Game of Thrones from taking home the top award that night. Additionally, Peter Dinklage took home the award for Best Supporting Actor (Drama).
Jason Bateman beat out Game of Thrones Directors D.B. Weiss and David Benioff
In a well-deserved win, Jason Bateman took home the award for Directing for a Drama Series in the Netflix drama, Ozark. The Game of Thrones showrunners have been a surefire win in the past years of the Emmys, but a flubbed final season sent them home without a trophy.
Ben Stiller presented a funny bit with comedy legend, Bob Newhart
Stiller appeared on stage next to a series of wax figures including George Burns and Lucille Ball, harping on their impacts on the world of comedy. As he approached 90-year old Bob Newhart, who is very much alive, he recounted on Bob’s incredible career as if he were a third inanimate wax figure. Newhart quipped back on Stiller’s playful patronizing presentation, muttering “I hated you, by the way, in Tropic Thunder.”
