The 2021 Emmys ceremony brought plenty of people of color to the stage to present, but delivered most of the night’s awards to white stars and creators
took Best Competition Series, finally bringing the night’s first winner of color to the podium. Later,Hamilton
took home the award for Outstanding Variety Special. But most of the evening was spent watching people of color present awards to their white counterparts. And while Television Academy head Frank Scherma presented the Governors Award to dancer, choreographer, actress, writer and director Debbie Allen — the first Black woman to receive that honor — his introductory speech crowing about diversity was particularly jarring in light of the night’s events.
Despite a few much-deserved wins, the Emmys seem to have a lot of work to do in terms of representation. For now, it looks like the label #EmmysSoWhite remains fitting.
