For diversity, we will come back.

The 73rd Emmy Awards, which found a little normalcy in Los Angeles on Sunday evening after a totally virtual 2020 edition due to the pandemic, honored women's stories without reflecting a great diversity in the rewards.

, which emphasizes that actors and actresses of color yet competed in "almost all categories".

No better on the side of the LGBT winners.

Very white and very straight Emmys in short.
