2017 Emmys

On Sunday night, Reese Witherspoon won an Emmy for executive producing the HBO miniseries Big Little Lies. “It’s been an incredible year for women in television,” she said, breathless on stage. She implored the audience to, “bring women to the front of their own stories. Make them the hero of their own stories.”

Veep‘s last season could air too late in the year to be eligible for 2018 Emmy Awards contention.

This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor. However, his acceptance speech was cut off on stage.
