welcome THE MAGAZINE OF THE TELEVISION ACADEMY televisionacademy.com

What a great night! The September 17 show, broadcast live on S, was highly entertaining — our host, Stephen Colbert, kept things and funny, and the acceptance speeches were at turns impas, poignant and playful. And the nominees, winners and guests emof our key priorities as an organization — and the theme of my remarks from the stage that evening — inclusion.

We all know that much work remains to balance the presence of women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, persons with disabilities and other underrepresented groups — both behind and in front of the camera. But as this Emmy season demonstrated, strides are being made.

At the Emmy nominations announcement on July 13, Donald Glover — the multi-talented star, writer, director and creator of the FX comedy Atlanta — received four noms, the most for any black performer and creator in a single year. On Emmy night, he won two — outstanding lead actor in a comedy series and outstanding directing for a comedy series.

In another milestone, Riz Ahmed, of HBO’s The Night Of, became the first Muslim and South Asian actor to win a performing Emmy when he took the award for lead actor in a limited series or movie. And Lena Waithe became the first black woman to win an Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy series when she and Aziz Ansari were honored for the moving “Thanksgiving” episode of Netflix’s Master of None. The storyline, in which a character played by Waithe tells her mother that she is gay, was inspired by Waithe’s experience with her own mother.

“Thanksgiving” was one of several Emmy-winning programs that put women front and center while exploring important social issues. The theme carried through the evening as five Emmys went to Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale — based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, in which women are brutally subjugated by an oppressive regime — and another five to HBO’s Big Little Lies, which depicted domestic violence in an ostensibly idyllic marriage.

Meanwhile, the previous weekend at the Creative Arts Emmys, A&E’s Born This Way — a reality series that stars seven young adults with Down syndrome — won Emmys for cinematography and for casting.

Productions such as these — which meld creative excellence, powerful storytelling and relevant subject matter — represent television at its best.

Honoring the best of television is what the Emmys are all about, and all three of this year’s shows — the Creative Arts Emmys on September 9 and 10, and the September 17 telecast — did it masterfully. You can see images from all of the shows in this issue of emmy, including the largest portfolio ever from our backstage portrait studio. Be sure to check it out, starting on page 22.

As always, there are many people to thank post-Emmys, beginning with the sensational Stephen Colbert and his executive producer Chris Licht, as well as the executive producers of our telecast, Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment. We also thank our show committee and 2017 broadcast partner, CBS. For the Creative Arts we thank Bob Bain, who guided the shows with his committee, headed by chair Jonathan Murray and vice-chair Bob Bergen. And thanks to our returning broadcast partner, FXX, for bringing highlights from both Creative Arts shows to a wider audience.

Thank you as well to the Academy staff and, most importantly, to the nearly 24,000 — and growing — talented professionals who comprise our membership. We can’t wait to see what you create this year!

LADIES’ NIGHT

The stars of HBO’s Big Little Lies, Shailene Woodley, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz — here, as presenters — felt plenty of Emmy love.

Kidman and Dern took acting honors, and Kidman and Witherspoon were honored as executive producers when Lies was named outstanding limited series.

Hulu claimed five wins during the September 17 telecast from L.A.’s Microsoft Theater, becoming the first streaming service to capture outstanding drama series, with The Handmaid’s Tale. The dystopian drama took eight Emmys total (including three at the previous week’s Creative Arts Awards), another record for Hulu.

HBO’s Big Little Lies also took eight awards, including outstanding limited series. And the HBO comedy series Veep — a veteran Emmy winner — continued the night’s focus on strong female characters, delivering for Julia Louis-Dreyfus a record-breaking sixth lead-actress victory in the role of Selina Meyer.

While HBO maintained its usual Emmy dominance with twenty-nine awards (including the Creative Arts), other content providers were not far behind. Digital streamer Netflix scored twenty statuettes, while NBC earned fifteen. Saturday Night Live and The Voice accounted for most of the broadcast network’s wins, but there were notable exceptions, such as Sterling K. Brown’s triumph as lead actor in a drama series for his portrayal of a successful family man struggling with the reappearance of his biological father in This Is Us. The Handmaid’s Tale, based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, follows the story of Offred, a woman attempting to survive and escape a totalitarian regime. Elisabeth Moss, Ann Dowd and Alexis Bledel (who scored a guest-actress Emmy at the Creative Arts) were first-time winners for their portrayals of women caught in the nightmarish world created by Atwood, a consulting producer on the series, who attended the ceremony.

Dowd, who had lost to her Handmaid’s Tale costar Bledel for her nominated guest-actress role in HBO’s The Leftovers, appeared stunned by her supporting-actress win for her portrayal of the sadistic Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale. “I think it is a dream,” she said from the stage. “I’ve 10 EMMY

here was no shortage of surprises at this year’s Emmys — including a few delivered by host Stephen Colbert in the opening minutes of the live CBS show (yes, some of those “handmaids” were men… and yes, that really was Sean Spicer briefly at the podium).

the president. You remember a song. You remember a line from a movie. You remember a play. You remember a book. A painting. A poem. What we do is important. And for all of you out there in motion pictures and television, don’t stop what you are doing. The audience is counting on you.”

Outstanding variety sketch series went to Saturday Night Live, its fiftyfirst win among 231 nominations — more than any other program. Creator– executive producer Lorne Michaels reminisced briefly on stage: “I remember the first time we won this award, after our first season in 1976. I remember thinking, this was it — there would never be another season as crazy and unpredictable and exhausting and exhilarating. It turns out I was wrong.”

Kate McKinnon took home her second consecutive Emmy as supporting actress for her work on SNL, which included portrayals of Hillary Clinton and Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway. “Being part of this season of Saturday Night Live was the most meaningful thing that I will ever do, so I should just probably stop now,” she said. After thanking family and colleagues, she added: “On a personal note, I want to say thank you to Hillary Clinton for your grace and grit.”

John Oliver accepted two wins for HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: writing for a variety series and outstanding variety talk series. In accepting for variety series, he mentioned that last year the staff had celebrated their win by getting drunk and going on the rides the next day at Universal Studios. He 12 EMMY

advised the theme park: “If someone is throwing up on the Harry Potter roller coasters tomorrow, they work for us. Please send them home.”

Diversity and inclusion were again a focus during the show. Though presenter Dave Chappelle quipped, “I’m truly amazed how many black people are here — I counted eleven on the monitor,” Donald Glover of FX’s Atlanta found a different spin. “I want to thank Trump for making black people number one on the most-oppressed list,” said the actor-director, who won for lead actor in a comedy series and outstanding directing in a comedy. “He’s the reason I’m probably up here.” Glover is the first African American to win in the directing for a comedy series category.

Lena Waithe became the first black woman to win the Emmy for comedyseries writing when she and Aziz Ansari were honored for the “Thanksgiving” episode of Netflix’s Master of None. The story, based on Waithe’s personal history of coming out to her family, is told through a series of Thanksgiving dinners at the home of Aziz’s character, Dev; Waithe plays Denise, his childhood friend.

Accepting her Emmy, Waithe revved up the crowd with an internet meme (“Let me reclaim my time,” as stated Congresswoman Maxine Waters) and concluded her many acknowledgments with a message to “my LGBTQIA family: I see each and every one of you,” she said. “The things that make us different, those are our superpowers. Every day, when you walk out the door, put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world — because the world would not be as beautiful if you weren’t in it.”

Waithe also thanked viewers and the industry for “embracing a little Indian boy from South Carolina [Ansari] and a little queer black girl from the South Side of Chicago.”

Also addressing the transformative power of entertainment was Riz Ahmed, named lead actor in a limited series for HBO’s The Night Of, in which he played a man accused of murder. After paying tribute to one of the show’s executive producers, the late James Gandolfini, he reflected, “It is always strange reaping the rewards of a story that’s based on real-world suffering. But if this show has shone a light on some of the prejudice in our societies — Islamophobia, some of the injustice to our justice system — then maybe that is something. And I will shout out to South Asian Youth Action for helping me prepare for this, and the Innocence Project.”

Disturbing social issues also came to the fore in Big Little Lies, based on Liane Moriarty’s book about women in a tony beach town and the domestic abuse that disrupts their world.

The limited series started its winning streak for the night with a supporting-actress victory for Laura Dern, her first after six nominations. “I’ve been acting since I was eleven years old, and I think I’ve worked with maybe twelve women, so I want to say thanks to the Academy.

Thank you to Nicole [Kidman] and Reese [Witherspoon]’s moms for giving us not only extraordinary women but really well-read women, because that’s how I’m getting parts.”

For her role as an upper-crust wife whose perfect life is not what it seems, Kidman was named outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie, edging out her costar Witherspoon, also an executive producer of the project.

“Reese, I share this with you,” Kidman said to Witherspoon from the stage as she accepted her first Emmy. “I have a huge artistic family that supported me through all my ups and downs. I’m a mother and a wife. I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith.” After thanking her husband, country music star Keith Urban, she added, “I want my little girls to have this on their shelf. I want them to say every time Mama didn’t put us to bed, ‘I got this; I got something.’”

On a more serious note, she pointed to the show’s important theme. “We shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease. It exists far more than we allow ourselves to know, in shame and secrecy. This shines a light on it even more.”

The show’s success also sent another message. Accepting the award for outstanding limited series, Witherspoon said simply: “It’s been an incredible year for women on television.” —Liane Bonin Starr

been acting for a long time, and that this should happen now — I thank you.”

Dowd wasn’t the only cast member to be shaken by The Handmaid’s Tale sweep. Moss, whose nine career nominations include six for Mad Men, scored her first Emmy wins as lead actress and as a producer on the show. After dropping an initial f-bomb, she challenged the network censors again while thanking her mother, Linda, sitting in the first row: “You were my best friend since the day I was born. You taught me you can be kind and a fucking badass.”

Bruce Miller, showrunner–executive producer of The Handmaid’s Tale, claimed the first of his two Emmys of the evening for writing the pilot. At the evening’s end, he accepted the award for best drama with good-natured thanks to those who “supported us when we wanted to do horrible things to Rory Gilmore [Alexis Bledel],” but ended his speech on a more urgent note. “Go home, get to work,” he told the audience. “We have a lot of things to fight for.”

Alec Baldwin was named outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his portrayal of President Trump on Saturday Night Live, and when accepting his award, he couldn’t resist a poke at the man twice nominated for NBC’s The Apprentice: “I suppose I should say, ‘At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.’”

The actor then turned from politics to art: “I always remember what someone told me — that when you die, you don’t remember a bill that Congress passed or a decision the Supreme Court made, or an address made by

STRAIGHT FROM THE ARTS

ame of Thrones may have been ineligible for this year’s Emmys due to its summer run, but the network home of dragons, wolves and family entanglements still came out ahead at the Creative Arts Emmys. After the September 9 and 10 ceremonies at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater, HBO had nineteen awards, but there was still reason to celebrate for many competitors, ranging from Netflix’s Stranger Things to NBC’s Saturday Night Live and Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

Activism was a frequent subject during both evenings. The Handmaid’s Tale, which garnered thirteen nominations overall, won three awards during the Creative Arts, for outstanding art direction, cinematography for a single camera series and guest actress in a drama series. Accepting the guestactress award for her role as Ofglen, one of the oppressed young women in the drama, first-time nominee Alexis Bledel thanked Hulu for partnering with the petition platform Change.org. “It is heartening to think we can be heard, issue by issue, if we sign up, speak up and stay awake,” she said.

Nominated for nine Emmys, 13th, an Oscar-nominated documentary from Netflix about the constitutional embedding of racial injustice in the criminal justice system, took home four. Accepting for outstanding original music and lyrics, musician Common said, “Just two weeks ago [director Ava DuVernay’s] work led me to go into the prisons in California and talk to individuals, and I met some of the most humane people ever…. We take this award in honor of all the 2.3 million who are incarcerated.”

DuVernay, accepting the Emmy for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special for 13th, picked up on the theme of taking action. “Now more than ever, when all kinds of people are being actively and aggressively demoralized and devalued, it’s important that people of justice and dignity stand up and make our voices heard…. Our voices are stronger than those that try to silence us.”

W. Kamau Bell ran to the stage to accept the award for outstanding unstructured reality program, for CNN’s United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell. “Thank you for media and TV and movies that prove the necessity of diversity and inclusion to make America a better place,” he said.

A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath — nominated in two categories — won outstanding informational series or special for its series treatment of the complexities of leaving Scientology. “I want to thank my mom, Vicki, who for years wished she could be in this audience and see her daughter win an Emmy,” Remini said. “You are officially forgiven for getting us into a cult…. I want to dedicate this to our brave contributors who, despite ongoing risk and repercussions, selflessly spoke out and told their stories.”

A&E’s Born This Way, which last year was named outstanding unstructured reality program, had three episodes nominated for picture editing but won for cinematography for a reality program and in a new category, reality casting. “Being part of the team that brought the story of a group of young adults with Down syndrome to television has been probably the greatest experience of my professional life,” said Sasha Alpert in accepting the casting award.

HBO’s Big Little Lies, the story of three mothers grappling with harrowing challenges beneath a seemingly perfect surface, won three awards, including the first for music supervision, a category introduced this year. After thanking her colleagues, music supervisor Susan Jacobs joked, “Thanks to the video for helping me learn how to walk in heels. You can learn that on YouTube. I did,” she added before gliding off stage.

FX’s Feud: Bette and Joan won awards for outstanding makeup and hairstyling for a miniseries or movie. Six-time Emmy winner Eryn Krueger

Mekash thanked stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon, “who withstood big eyebrows and overdrawn lips for months,” in addition to show creator Ryan Murphy and others.

For Rickey Minor — winner for outstanding music direction, for the ABC special Taking the Stage: African American Music and Stories That Changed America — it was a first-time experience, despite a multitude of nominations.

“I said I was gonna be cool if I ever won at any point,” he confessed. “I never won anything anywhere. But what I’ve won is the love of this gift of music, and music saved my life.” After thanking his colleagues, Minor added, “My mom was here last year, hoping to see me win. This is my seventh nomination, so here it is.”

Nominated for five awards, James Corden won two: for outstanding variety music or comedy special, for Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special 2017, and for outstanding special-class program for the 70th Tony Awards.

“I told my wife to stay home,” he admitted in accepting the award for the karaoke-themed variety special, the show’s second consecutive win in the category. “It feels a mistake now. I said, ‘Babe, it’s going to be a washout. We don’t stand a chance.’”

The juried award for outstanding choreography produced two winners: Mandy Moore, for ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and Travis Wall, for Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance (a show for which Moore received a second nomination). Moore joked that she wasn’t the actress of the same name (who stars on NBC’s This Is Us) but would like to meet her someday, while Wall promised his fiancé he would soon set a date for their wedding. Getting back to business, he added: “So You Think You Can Dance has changed my life, and if you’ve watched it, I’m sure it’s changed yours.”

For her part, Jane Lynch accepted her award for actress in a short-form comedy or drama series — for the digital series Dropping the Soap — on a light note: “As you’re enjoying that delicious fare at the Governors Ball, I’m going to be starting the prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. So I wish you the best. Eat a little something for me.” —L.B.S. A list of winners begins on page 14.

PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROBERT ASCROFT

Breathing Room The

“TAKE A BREATH.”

So said photographer Robert Ascroft many times on Emmy day, as winners, presenters and other A-listers posed in his backstage photo studio.

“There’s so much going on that day for the talent,” he explained when the rush was over. “But these images have longevity.

I really want them to be great. So I tell them, ‘Take a breath, let it out and give me those four or five frames that will last forever.’”

While a photo session often takes hours, Robert had to capture many of his Emmy portraits in less than a minute. As winners proceed from the stage of L.A.’s Microsoft Theater, one of their first stops is the emmy studio. More subjects are right behind, and those posing for him have many interviews and shoots ahead — and parties to get to, of course. So speed is of the essence — not just in creating the images, but in converting the set to accommodate individuals or large groups.

“Having my A-team really helped,” Robert said of his crew of five. “I’ve been working with them for years — they know exactly what I’m looking for.”

What Robert was looking for on September 17 was “intimate, beautiful portraits” that stood out among the thousands of images taken that day. “Everybody is shot many times,” he acknowledged. “I wanted a unique photo spread for the Academy.”

To that end, he designed a versatile set. On one side: a living room featuring navy walls set off by light gray molding and French doors and furnished with a stylish light-blue sofa, red chair and faux fireplace topped by “the heaviest mirror on the planet.” (Two trips to Home Depot ensured no earthquake would bring it down.)

“I was going for an upscale apartment feel,” he said. “And I love to be able to include reflection in a shot,” he added of the mirror, whose gold frame “was a nod to Emmy gold, without being over-the-top.”

On the other side of the set, a canvas backdrop of gray-blue: “Cooler tones in the background make the warmth of the skin pop.”

As day turned to night, Emmy insiders poured into Robert’s studio, oohing and aahing at the set and often recognizing their photographer. “Many of these people, I’ve photographed them over the years. It’s nice to have that reconnection.”

Though Robert was shooting the emmy studio for the first time, he is widely known for his work in celebrity portraits, fashion, beauty and advertising, for print, the web, billboards and television. His client list includes ad agencies, movie studios, magazines, record companies, Broadway theaters and fashion designers.

And now the Emmys: resulting in the record-setting, fifty-four-page photo feature that starts here. Take a breath and enjoy.

n this new Golden Age of television, shouldn’t silver have its day? That seemed to be the thinking of many of the women — and men — who rocked the red carpet at the 69th Emmys. Whether it was silver with black, silver with feathers (another hot trend) or silver solo, their sterling choices cast a welcome sparkle against the black step-and-repeat.

This year’s carpet came with special protection from the elements — which in L.A. in September means searing heat. Tented on all sides, it made for an air-conditioned cruise past the photographers. Ironically, Emmy day was unseasonably mild. Still, many ladies dressed for — and brought — the heat.

Necklines plunged, slits ascended. Trains trailed dramatically, while tea-length hems played peek-a-boo with pleasing ankles.

Priyanka Chopra

But what would the Emmys be without a palette of metallics? Bronze, copper and accents of gold all had their moments in the Emmy lenses. So did those forever-favored shades of black and white, seen with elegant beading, body-con cutouts — even in jumpsuits that seemed tailor-made for the jostling crowds at the Microsoft Theater. And not to be neglected were the reds that rivaled the carpet, oh-so-pretty pinks and brilliant blues and greens.

But for some women, only the spectrum will do. Zoë Kravitz and Tessa Thompson were both carpet-stunners in their dazzling rainbow gowns. Check them out — and all the looks from the September 17 telecast as well as the September 9 and 10 Creative Arts Emmys on the following pages. Eclipse glasses not required!

THE BIG PICTURE

I

It didn’t take long, says Mandy Moore, till “my brain started going wild, as it always does.”

What got her synapses firing was a call from executive producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, asking her to choreograph the opening number for the 69th Emmys. Not only would it star Emmys host Stephen Colbert and feature talent from many top shows, the dance would include twelve “handmaids” dressed in red capes and white bonnets like those of the tormented women of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale (which would be named outstanding drama series at the end of the evening).

“They wanted it to feel very showy, like a big production number,” Moore says of the routine, set to “Everything Is Better on TV,” an original song written for the show. “And they wanted it to finish with a kick line.”

But before that big finish was a big reveal: six of the handmaids were men. As the number moved seamlessly from its cold open (shot two weeks before the show at CBS in Studio City) to the live portion at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater, the dancers shed their capes to reveal glittering red costumes showing plenty of leg (and in some cases, underarm hair and a beard).

104 EMMY

After three days of rehearsals, Moore sat in the audience on September 17, watching her creation unfold. “From my seat, it looked great,” she says. “Everyone seemed to get the jokes.”

And as expected from a number starring Colbert, those jokes were not only hilarious but often political, as in: The nightly news might fill you with fears and phobias Calm yourself by watching this dystopia Look on the bright side, handmaids, at least your health care’s free Our future’s always brighter on TV! Besides her choreography, Moore had another reason to celebrate: the previous weekend, at the Creative Arts Emmys, she’d won her first Emmy Award, on her sixth nomination, for her work on Dancing with the Stars (her other nominations have been for So You Think You Can Dance).

“To be recognized and nominated at all, it’s a little out-of-body,” she says. “Then they call your name, and this is actually happening! You have so many people to thank. It’s not a party of one — a lot of people have been involved in my success.”

Including some comely handmaids — and men.
