The 75th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were finally held on Monday after months of delays.
The 75th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards brought together the biggest names in television, honoring work across scripted and non-scripted shows throughout the 2022–2023 season.
As theGrio previously reported, the ceremony was delayed for months due to the Hollywood strikes over the summer. Despite the postponement, the awards show was a positive celebration of television’s past and present, with moving reunions from some of the most iconic casts in TV history, as well as inspiring speeches from the various winners.
Quinta Brunson and Ayo Edebiri made history with their wins, taking home outstanding lead actress in a comedy series and outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series for their work in “Abbott Elementary” and “The Bear,” respectively. The wins marks the first time two Black women have taken home Emmys in comedy categories during the same ceremony.
Niecy Nash-Betts also took home a major award during the ceremony. She won for portraying Glenda Cleveland in the Netflix series “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” In her now-viral speech, Nash-Betts took the time to thank herself, saying, “and I want to say to myself, in front of all you beautiful people, ‘Go on, girl, with your bad self. You did that!’”

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” continued to make Emmys history. The beloved reality competition series took home Outstanding Reality Competition Program for the fifth time. With his wins, RuPaul remains the most awarded Black artist in Emmys history.
RuPaul’s speech took time to address various legislation attacking drag across the country. “If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her because knowledge is power and if someone tries to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you, so listen to a drag queen,” RuPaul said in the speech. “We love you, thank you.”
Trevor Noah also made history as the first Black person to win outstanding talk series, per Variety. Noah won for his last season hosting “The Daily Show.”
