Die diesjährige 67te Emmy Award Preisverleihung bot zwar keine Skandale, dafür jede Menge Rekorde und „erste Male“.
Die Fantasy-Serie Game of Thrones konnte sage und schreibe 12 Emmys mit nach Hause nehmen. Darunter die Kategorien „Outstanding Drama Series“, „Outstanding Writing“ (für die Drehbuchautoren der Serie, David Benioff and Dan Weiss), „Outstanding Directing“ (für den Regisseur der finalen Episode „Mother’s Mercy“, David Nutter) und „Outstanding Supporting Actor“ für Tyrion Lannister-Darsteller und Fanfavoriten Peter Dinklage.
Außerdem gewann Game of Thrones die Emmys in den Sparten „Outstanding Make-Up for a Single-Camera Series“, „Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series“, „Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary or Fantasy Program“, „Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series“, „Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Scripted Series“, „Outstanding Special Visual Effects“, „Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series” sowie “Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series”.
Neben diesem überragenden Rekord konnte Viola Davis als bisher erste schwarze Frau den Emmy für die “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series“ für ihre Rolle der Annalise Keating in How To Get Away With Murder mit nach Hause nehmen.
Davis‘ herzerwärmende Dankesrede stach ebenso hervor wie Ricky Gervais‘ Rede, bevor er Schauspieler Tony Hale den Award für „Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series“ („Veep“) in die Hand drücken durfte. Gervais war nämlich in der Kategorie „Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie“ für sein „Derek Special“ nominiert und ging davon aus, dass er diesen Awards erneut an einen seiner Kollegen verlieren wird. Daraufhin ließ er sich kurzerhand einfach einen Emmy überreichen und, ließ einige falsche Tränen kullern und forderte dazu auf, Fotos zu machen: "There's no hope. The smart money's on [Mark] Rylance or [Timothy] Hutton. Someone else, basically! It doesn't matter."
Hilarious as always.
Auch Moderator Andy Samberg enttäuschte nicht.
Auch das erste Mal war es für den schottisch-amerikanischen Show-Host Craig Ferguson, der für seine Moderation des "Celebrity Name Game" einen Emmy einsackte, was ihn sehr überraschte.
Newcomer-Comedienne Amy Schumer (die übrigens überaus sympathisch und extrem witzig ist) nahm einen Emmy für ihre Sketch-Show "Inside Amy Schumer" mit nach Hause.
"Orange Is The New Black"-Darstellerin Uzo Aduba gewann dieses Jahr für ihre Rolle als Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren den Award als "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series", nachdem sie letztes Jahr für die selbe Rolle in einer anderen Kategorie ("Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series") mit einem Emmy ausgezeichnet wurde.
