A sweep for โSchittโs Creek,โ โSuccessionโ tops Emmy Awards
(The Television Academy and ABC Entertainment via AP)LOS ANGELES โ โSchitt's Creek,โ the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday's Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including โFrasierโ and โModern Familyโ failed to achieve. The awards for Pop TV's โSchitt's Creekโ included best comedy series and trophies for its stars, including Catherine O'Hara and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy. Moments later, his son won the award for comedy writing for โSchitt's Creekโ episode, then shared a directing award and captured the supporting actor comedy trophy. As โSchittโs Creekโ gobbled up comedy awards, that left acclaimed โInsecureโ and its creator Issa Rae empty-handed. But Black stories, Black performances and Black Lives Matter,โ he said, urging Kimmel to shout with him.
Nicole Byer Pens Emotional Note About Talking to Kids About Black Lives Matter
Nicole Byer is speaking up about the importance of talking to children about Black Lives Matter. Byer began her post by introducing herself as Nicole, the host of Netflix's Nailed It!, which "a lot of kids watch." "In an Instagram comment someone said they would 'keep their head down and just let their kids watch Nailed It' ... that made me boo hoo hoo," she explained. And nice cops? There are no nice cops because if a cop was nice they wouldn't watch and participate in violence against black and brown people."
