Emmy Awards mapulitika ang panimula
NAGBUKAS ang 70th Emmy Awards nitong Lunes sa pagpapasaring sa pulitika, gamit ang mga “edgy jokes” mula sa diversity sa Hollywood hanggang sa mapunta ang usapan kay US President Donald Trump.
Handa naman sa showdown ang mga bituin ng pinakahinahuhumalingang drama, ang Game of Thrones at The Handmaid’s Tale.
Pagkatapos rumampa ng mga bituin sa red carpet sa Microsoft Theater sa Los Angeles, nagbukas ang three-hour gala sa isang daring song-and-dance number, na naging tampulan ng mga nag-iinit na mga isyu sa America. “We solved it!” chant ng
Saturday Night Live nominees na sina Kate McKinnon at Kenan Thompson, na sinegundahan naman nina pop stars John Legend at Ricky Martin — pati si RuPaul — patungkol sa problema sa diversity sa telebisyon.
Pagkaraan ay ibinigay na nila ang entablado sa mga hosts ng event na sina Colin Jost at Michael
Che, na regular ding napapanood sa veteran NBC comedy sketch show.
“This year, the audience is allowed to drink in their seats. Hope you’re excited about that — because the one thing Hollywood needs right now is a bunch of people losing their inhibitions at a work function,” sabi ni Jost, na ang tinutukoy ay ang #MeToo.
Nang inilarawan ang The Handmaid’s Tale, isa sa top nominee ng gabi, sinabi ni Michael na Hulu show “takes place in an imaginary future where an entire group of people is violently forced to work and make babies against their will.”
“It’s what black people call history. It’s ‘Roots’ for white women,” aniya pa, na ang tinutukoy ay ang landmark 1970s television mini-series tungkol sa pang-aalipin.
Ito ay isang kakaiba ngunit nakamamanghang panimula ng Primetime Emmys, ang bersiyon ng Oscars sa telebisyon.
Ang unang bahagi ng gabi ay inilaan sa mga comedy programs: Napagwagian ng sentimental favorite na si Henry Winkler ang kanyang unang Emmy sa kategoryang Best Supporting Actor, para sa kanyang pagganap sa Barry, na kuwento ng isang hitman-turned-actor.
Napagwagian naman ng co-star niyang si Bill Hader ang parangal para sa Best Lead Actor. Doble naman ang kasiyahan ng seryeng The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, dahil nagwagi ang lead actress
nitong si Rachel Brosnahan at ang supporting actress sa serye na si Alex Borstein.
