Diversity and trauma. From a world where everyone was white and “difficult” to torment. From Starsky and Hutch, Colombo And Team A to this Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) from Chicago The bearthe brilliant but fearful cook, traumatized by his complicated family past. And he smokes too! In case of doubt that this is a outsider. Of course, in terms of trauma and tortured personality, the British take the cake. Richard Gaddwho interprets and stages the unusual My stuffed reindeerabout his destructive relationship with a psychopathic admirer who subjected him to relentless persecution.
If there is one series that has clearly triumphed, it is precisely My stuffed reindeerwhich takes place in London, with four Emmy Awards for best mini-series, actor, screenplay and actress in a supporting role for Jessica Gunning for her interpretation of this stalker, to whom she manages to give a disconcerting mixture of tenderness and dangerous madness.
In love with a transsexual, with doubts about his own sexuality, failing from club to club in London as a stand-up comedian and always acting unhappy, the most fascinating thing about the series is how he ends up needing this sick love to feel alive, while destroying it in A truly atypical series.
On stage, Gaddreleased three times, had time to encourage all those “who are in the hole because it was like that ten years ago” and encouraged platforms like Netflix (who produced his series) “take risks, push boundaries and let go of what is comfortable”.
HAS My stuffed reindeer so much did he steal the show in his category Jodie Fosterwho against all odds won as the protagonist of the fourth season of True Detectivetitled polar nightin which she plays a seasoned investigator in a freezing and disturbing Alaska. To the unforgettable Clarice Starling of The Silence of the Lambs (1991), for which he received an Oscar, he seems gifted for police roles.
Veterans and Latino Justification
Besides Jodie Foster, the Emmy gala, held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, has become a veritable podium of former glories. Presented by actors Dan And Eugene Levyfather and son, known for the series Schitt Creekwithout monopolizing much of the spotlight, we saw Don Johnson remembering his days in the police Corruption in Miamihas Candice Bergen (the eternal Murphy Brown), who used her moment on stage to attack Trump’s vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, for defending women’s right not to have children. Or Billy Crystallegendary Oscar host in the ’90s, who joked about his old age and said that “being here is a pleasure, well, at this point, being anywhere is.”
Not forgetting the Hispanic touch in a gala with Gael Garcia Bernal And Diego Moonthe eternal couple of And your mother too (2001), who spoke Spanish all the time and remembered the “50 million Spanish speakers in the United States.” John Leguizamofor his part, gave a powerful speech in which he said: “When I was a kid, I watched Star Trek and I thought that in the future there would be no more Latinos. For many years, we were only used to play the hottie, the lover, the gangster… If you don’t complain, you can’t change anything and that’s why I’ve been complaining all these years.”
Returning to the pre-election tone that animated the entire evening, Liza Colon-Zayaswinner of the award for best supporting actress in a comedy series for The bear She was clear: “To all the Latinas watching me, keep believing and fighting for your rights, fighting for your dreams.”
Catholics and Protestants

Billed as one of those old-school Hollywood “movies” that Hollywood itself seems to have stopped producing for the big screen, Shogun powerfully depicts the clash of Western culture with Japanese culturethe colonial conflicts in Asia between the Portuguese, Spanish and English, fighting to gain control of the lucrative trade with the East, but also the bloody division of Christianity between Catholics and Protestants. Without a doubt, Kurosawa, the great master who unified the Western world western with the Japanese in films like The Seven Samurai (1954), he would have been pleased if he had been able to see this award that the director dedicated to him when he received it.
The bear won four Emmy AwardsBest Actor in a Comedy Series for The Perpetually Dissatisfied Cook Jeremy Allen Whitesecondary to Ebony Moss-Bachrachthis cousin of the protagonist who is bitter and bad-tempered but good-hearted. And at the aforementioned price for Liza Colon-Zayas You also need to add the address to Christopher Storer. The usual jokes about a series that begins with the suicide of the protagonist’s brother, where they keep yelling at each other and it wouldn’t be surprising if no one appeared in the refrigerator with burst veins, were recurrent.
