Emmys builds a 'bubble' inside the Staples Center

NewscastStudio: The 72nd Emmy Awards will likely go done as one of the most unique shows of all: Forget experimenting with no hosts, multiple hosts and other gimmicks — this year’s ceremonies were changed due to necessity thanks to (all at once now) the coronavirus pandemic.

Fox uses unique video wall with angled 'doors' as backdrop for Emmys

NewscastStudio: Old fashioned bunny ears? Iron Man’s mask? A nod to “X” in the “Fox” logo? All (or none) of the above?

The director, cast, and show all won Emmys, edging out the cast and creators of diverse shows like Insecure, Killing Eve, black-ish, and Atlanta. #EmmysSoWhite reappeared on social media last night, and it wasn’t just because James Corden cited it as a recycled joke. People of color were winning awards and the Emmys still made history twice, but it simply wasn’t captured on prime time.
