In addition to knowing which series and which actors have won the most prestigious television awards, what everyone wants to see at the 2019 Emmy Awards gala is who gave the most emotional speech, who screwed up or who had The biggest stumble. The Emmy Awards were not going to disappoint and even without a master of ceremonies (copying the Oscars 2019) it was a difficult gala to forget thanks to the extravagant costumes of some, the slugs of others and speeches with shocking messages.
MICHELLE WILLIAMS, FOR SALARY EQUALITY
Michelle Williams, who won this morning the Emmy for the best actress in a limited series by Fosse / Verdon , took advantage of her speech to demand in a very forceful way to the audiovisual industry to pay equitably to women, especially those belonging to minorities .
Williams thus starred in one of the great moments of the 71 edition of the Emmy, a gala in which, in addition to the victories of Game of Thrones (best drama) and Fleabag (best comedy), will be remembered for several speeches, such as Billy Porter or Patricia Arquette, who also passionately demanded more equality and greater respect for diversity, both on and off screen.
"When I asked for dance lessons, I heard 'yes'. When I asked for more singing lessons, I heard 'yes'. A different wig, a pair of teeth not made of rubber ... 'yes'. All these things require effort and cost more money, but my bosses never presumed to know better than me what I need to do my job and to honor Gwen Verdon, "Williams explained on stage.
"Thanks FX and thanks Fox 21 Studios for fully supporting me and for paying me equitably," he added.
The actress then argued that those responsible for "Fosse / Verdon" understood that when you value a person you are "empowering" to put their own value "in their work."
"So, the next time a woman, especially a woman of color, because she earns 52 cents compared to the dollar her fellow white man takes, tell you what she needs to do her job, listen to her, believe her, because one day he may stand in front of you and say 'thank you' for allowing him to triumph over his work environment and not despite him, "he concluded.
Where did those costumes come from?
Gwendoline Christie (or Brienne de Tarth in Game of Thrones) has become the queen of the purple carpet of the Emmy Awards with a Gucci design reminiscent of Jesus Christ himself.
Nor did they stand out for their discretion in dressing up their supporting partner Carice Van Houten, Melisandre in Game of Thrones, and the Emmy winner for best dramatic actor Billy Porter who has paraded through the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with a disco design by Michael Kors
THE SURPRISE OF Jharrel Jerome
At 21, Jharrel Jerome won big stars like Hugh Grant, Benicio del Toro and Mahershala Ali in the category of best actor in a miniseries.
Winner for a moving interpretation of one of the five heroes of Thus they see us (Netflix), Jerome paid tribute to the true Korey Wise, who was present in the room and spent almost 13 years in prison for a violation of a runner in Central Park He did not commit.
He dedicated his award to these "men we know as the five innocents," he said looking at the five men, who were teenagers when in 1989 they were arrested and convicted of this crime.
The emotional hug of Kit Harington and Sophie Turner
Without a doubt one of the most endearing moments of the gala has starred in two of the Stark brothers , Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner). The actors merged into an emotional hug that brought to mind the hug they both starred in Game of Thrones .
The good relationship between both actors and the friendship established during the filming of the series has never been a secret. However, the embrace that was given is of special relevance taking into account the delicate moment of health that Harington went through when entering a mental clinic to treat the problems of addiction and stress that he suffered after the end of the series.
Peter Dinklage's speech
Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) has been the only actor in the award-winning HBO series to take one of the seven Emmy to which the Game of Thrones interpreters were nominated. The actor took the Emmy to the best supporting actor and climbed the stage excited and with a clear message that did not go unnoticed during the gala: "I have no idea what I'm going to say, but we go there. I feel fortunate to be part from a community that is totally tolerant and diverse because, in any other place, I would not have been able to get on stage . "
Alex Borstein's shot
It was the momentazo of the night. The cameras collected Alex Borstein , winner of the Emmy for best actress in a comedy cast for her performance in The Marcelous Mrs. Maisel , celebrating her award in a somewhat special way. The actress took a shot seconds before going on stage to deliver her speech. A speech that did not go unnoticed when he recognized that in the last edition of the Emmy Awards he was not wearing a bra and that on this occasion he was not wearing any underwear directly.
The applauded speech of Patricia Arquette
There were many speeches that surprised during the gala. In addition to that of Peter Dinklage and Michelle Williams, Patricia Arquette , Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Act, took the stage and made an applauded plea for labor equality and the rights of transgender people .
"I will pawn the rest of my life until we change the world so that they are no longer persecuted . And give them work. They are human beings, let's get rid of this bias we have everywhere," said the actress, starting the applause of the public, " claimed the actress, who started the applause of the entire Microsoft Theater.
The ridiculous Kardashian
While Arquette's speech raised the audience, the Kardashian sisters started laughing without looking for it. The sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendal Jenner presented the category of Best competition reality when the major's dress played tricks on her.
Kim Kardashian chose a tight black velvet Vivienne Westwood suit that practically didn't let her go. So much so that when he was accessing the stage he tripped and was about to fall to the ground. Social networks soon picked up the moment, making it one of the most viral moments of the night.
However, the laughter of the public was for another reason. The moment in question occurred when Kim and Kendall presented the award. At that time Kim Kardashian said that "our family knows firsthand how really convincing television comes from real people who are simply themselves." To which Kendall added: "Telling their stories without a filter and without a script." The public burst into laughter causing the visible anger of the Kardashian, who put face of few friends.
An unexpected presenter
Following in the wake of the 2019 Oscar gala, the Emmy Awards also decided that there would be no master of ceremonies. However, the surprise was not tiny when the first character to be seen at the ceremony was Homer Simpson.
Homer took the stage of the Microsoft Theater and how could it be otherwise ended up messing it up. "Thank you very much, it is one of my most impossible dreams," he said, when suddenly a piano fell on him, unleashing the laughter among the audience.
The Ben Whishaw Hangover
While Alex Borstein drank a good slug before going up to collect his prize, British actor Ben Wishaw , awarded the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a miniseries or film for his role in A very English scandal , confessed to his teammates that It was not one of his best nights. The reason: his hangover.
"I come with a hangover ... My agent took me out of glasses yesterday," he acknowledged ashamed with his Emmy in his hand.
The great ovation to the cast of GoT
The 10 main actors of the phenomenal HBO series received a great ovation when they entered the stage to present an award.
Emilia Clarke , who incarnated Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones , was particularly applauded as was Gwendoline Christie (Brienne de Torth), whom the production did not register to compete for the Emmy and had to do it on her own initiative.
"We would have liked the program to last forever, " said Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), but "our time has come."
Veep's bitter farewell
All bets pointed to the legendary 58-year - old actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus winning the Emmy for Best Comedy Actress for her role in political satire Veep , who returned after a forced break for the actress to recover from cancer .
With that Emmy I would have also broken the record for more statuettes for an interpreter, with nine.
But the awards, both Best Actress and Best Comedy, went to the British Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her Fleabag series.
"It's really wonderful to know that a dirty, perverted and angry woman can reach the Emmys," said the British artist, whose show was completely ignored last year.
Ozark gives the bell
Yes, Game of Thrones took 12 Emmy, but they took one that everyone assumed was going to be for them. The Emmy for Best Direction was the surprise of the night when it fell to Jason Bateman and his Ozark , the Netflix series, which also won the Emmy for Best Drama Series Supporting Actress for Julia Garner . Bateman's face upon hearing his name and Garner's words: "It looks like it's chocolate," they are already part of the Emmy story.
Ozark was thus imposed on the favorite and Julie Garner was imposed on practically half female cast of Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie ( Game of Thrones ), Lena Headey ( Game of Thrones ), Sophie Turner ( Game of Thrones ), Maisie Williams ( Game of Thrones ) and Fiona Shaw ( This is Us )
