This morning, the 74th Annual Emmy Awards ceremony was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, USA. The host this time is Kennan Thompson, and this is his first time hosting an Emmy Award. In addition, there are many highlights of the whole award ceremony, and I will take you to quickly review it
01 Squid Games broke records
With the role of "No. 456" Sung Ki-hoon in "Squid Game", Lee Jung-jae won the 74th Emmy Awards for "Best Actor in a Drama Series", and he is not only the first Asian actor in Emmy History to win this award, but also the first non-English drama star to win this award.
When he took the stage to receive the award, Lee Jeong-jae thanked the organizers, the Netflix platform and the crew of "Squid Games", and then he thanked his family and fans and friends who have always supported him in Korean. I have to say that this time the "Emperor of Vision" is really deserved.
In addition, Hwang Dong-hyuk won the "Best Director of a Drama Series" for directing "Squid Game". It is worth mentioning that "Squid Game" also officially announced some time ago that it is actively preparing for the second season, so let's wait for the new drama to start.
02 Zandaya "two letters" behind
This time, the "Best Actress in a Drama Series" was won by Zandaya, who starred in "The Second Season of Excitement". In fact, she already won this award in 2020 with "Excitement Season 1", so she also became the youngest "second letter" queen in the history of the Emmy Awards!
After watching Zandaya's performance in the play, you will be deeply shocked by the explosive power she shows. In his acceptance speech, Zandaya said, "My greatest hope for this show is that it can heal others, and Rue and I will continue to carry your stories forward." ”
03 "Battle of Succession" won the "Best Drama Series"
The Battle of Succession has been updated to its third season, and this time, it won "Best Drama Series" at the 74th Emmy Awards. The drama revolves around the roy family of international media giants and tells the fierce internal struggle. Whether it is the superb acting skills of the actors or the solid script, it has become a classic American drama worth two or even three brushes. So, have you been chasing this show before?
04 "White Lotus Resort" became the biggest winner
Directed by Mike White, "White Lotus Resort" won five awards at the 74th Emmy Awards, including "Best Limited Drama/Television Movie", "Best Supporting Actress in Limited Drama/Television Movie", "Best Supporting Actor in Limited Drama/Television Movie", "Best Director in Limited Drama/Television Movie", and "Best Screenplay in Limited Drama/Television Movie", making it the biggest winner of the award ceremony.
The White Lotus Resort is about a week of life for hotel staff and guests in a resort, and the six-episode setting makes the plot very tight and enjoyable. In addition, the second season will officially start broadcasting in October this year, and I am looking forward to it fiercely.
05 John Legend sings "Pieces" live
John Legend also sang a song called "Pieces" live. The new song, originally included on his album LEGEND (Explicit), which was released on Friday, was sung at a ceremony to commemorate the late filmmakers with soothing piano accompaniment.
As the executive producer of the awards ceremony, Hudlin also gave high praise to the song, "It's an incredibly moving song, his performance always moves everyone, this work is unique and very suitable for placing in a scene like this." ”
