Emmys 2021 live updates: Winners, speeches & highlights | news.com.au — Australia's leading news site - NEWS.com.au

One big Emmy winner has paid emotional tribute to the husband who died suddenly just six months ago. Follow our live coverage.

Hacks, The Crown and Ted Lesso are the big winners so far at 73rd Emmy Awards, with the streaming sports comedy Ted Lasso having set a new record for nominations for a new show, with a whopping 20 noms.

Before that came the red carpet: Check out our coverage of all the best and worst celeb looks. And we’re also keeping track of every single winner as they’re announced today.

But we’re keeping you updated with all the highlights from the ceremony here – and you can watch the Emmys live from 10am AEST today on Foxtel.

Surprise Schitt’s Creek reunion

One of the night’s biggest cheers was reserved for a surprise reunion from last year’s big winners, the cast of the beloved comedy Schitt’s Creek, which wrapped in April last year after six seasons. Check ‘em out, looking like superheroes in their block-coloured outfits:

After a very funny (and believable) bit from the cast pretending the teleprompter’s not working, they present the award for best writing in a comedy – to Hacks, and best directing in a comedy – also to Hacks!

The wonderful Jean Smart wins Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her starring role in Hacks.

She basks in a standing ovation, then delivers an emotional tribute to her late husband, actor Richard Gilliland, who died suddenly earlier this year at the age of 71. She reveals on-stage that yesterday marks six months since his death: “I would not be here if it wasn’t for him putting his career on the backburner,” she says. Of Hacks, she says “I read it and said ‘I have to do this.’”

Lead actor in a Comedy Series is presented by Jennifer Coolidge, who’s had a hell of year thanks to her scene-stealing role in White Lotus. “This is such an honour,” she says, which earns a giant laugh – because she’s Jennifer Coolidge and everything she says is funny. She congratulates the nominees for “overcoming the incredible handicap in this business of being men,” before giving the award to Jason Sudeikis for Ted Lasso.

One notable omission in Sudeikis’ speech: ex-partner of almost a decade Olivia Wilde, who he split with in November last year. He did thank her at the Critics Choice Awards in March, a few months after they’d split.

Kate wins for Mare

She faced stiff competition in her category, but of course Kate Winslet wins Lead Actress in a Limited Series for Mare of Easttown - it’s perhaps the most talked-about performance of the past year. “It was a cultural moment - it gave people something to talk about other than the pandemic,” she notes. She thanks “my husband, Ned, who I get to hold hands with for the rest of my life. Yes! I am the winner!”

Ewan McGregor then wins Lead Actor in a Limited Series for his starring role in the biopic Halston. “It’s quite difficult going after you, Kate,” he says of Winslet.

Legend tells the Emmys who’s boss

They’ve been very trigger-happy with the wind-up music at this Emmys, with several award winners noting that they’re being asked to stop their speeches mere seconds after they’d started.

Not so Hollywood legend Debbie Allen, the first black female recipient of the Governors Award for her contributions to television – thirty seconds into her speech, she dismissively waves at the cameras, telling them to “turn that clock off; I ain’t paying it no mind.”

One award later, Queen’s Gambit director Scott Frank wages a one-man war against the wind-up music, repeatedly demanding it be turned off as he reads a two-page long speech. Three times the music swells again, the producers trying to drown him out as he tells them to quit it: “Seriously, turn it off.”

It’s... uncomfortable.

The incredible Michaela Coel wins Best Writing in a Limited Series next for her jaw-dropping series I May Destroy You, dedicating her award to “every single survivor of sexual assault.”

Seth roasts the show

The night’s first presenter Seth Rogen has a few questions about the Covid safety plan. Rogen first points out that “there’s way too many of us in this room right now! They said this was outside – they lied! We’re hermetically sealed in here – why is there a roof? I would not have come to this!”

Rogen jokes they have to worry about “keeping Eugene Levy alive” and notes that he’s “gone from wiping down my groceries to having Paul Bettany sneeze in my salad.”

Elsewhere, host Cedric the Entertainer said “We had to vaxxed to come here. I got vaxxed. I did not have a reaction like Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend. I got Pfizer because I’m bougie. Pfizer, that’s the Neiman Marcus of vaccines, Moderna, that’s Macy’s. Johnson & Johnson, that’s TJ Maxx.”

Memorable Brits win big


Rogen presents the award for Best Supporting Comedy Actress to Hannah Waddingham for Ted Lasso. The British actress lets out a massive scream before her first words: “Jesus Christ on a bike!” It’s a hilarious, high-energy speech punctuated by screams of disbelief and joy. Can we give her a gong at the top of every award show?

Brett Goldstein wins Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy, also for Ted Lasso. “I was specifically told I’m not allowed to swear, so this speech is going to be f**king short,” he quips.

Next up, Julianne Nicholson wins Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for her incredible work as Lori on Mare of Easttown. Evan Peters wins the male equivalent award, also for Mare of Easttown – he played Detective Zabel. His biggest shout out: “Thanks to Kate Winslet for being KATE WINSLET!” You can’t argue with that.

The Crown wins big

Netflix royal biopic The Crown wins the night’s two first behind-the-scenes gongs, for Writing and Directing.

Gillian Anderson – looking absolutely gorgeous – also wins Best Supporting Actress in a Drama for playing UK PM Margaret Thatcher in the series. Tobias Menzies wins Best Support Actor for his portrayal of Prince Philip in the show – meaning Michael K. Williams, who died on September 6, loses out on a posthumous Emmy in the same category for his role in Lovecraft Country.

More to come …
