Waiting for the final evening of the Emmys, the Oscars of US television, some awards have already been delivered in advance, in a remote event, and a gaffe has spoiled the virtual ceremony a little: in the category Outstanding Guest actor in a drama series won Ron Cephas Jones as William Hill in This Is Us, but the background voice announced another winner, wrong, Jason Bateman who played Terry Maitland in The Outsider. A gaffe comparable to that of the Osar where Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly proclaimed La La Land as best film instead of Moonlight. At the Emmys the confusion was resolved after the commercial with an announcement: "Our apologies, an incorrect winner has been announced, we are correcting."
