The 2021 Emmy Awards ceremony found a way to keep us constantly wowed, even if the selection of winners wasn’t always surprising.
On Sunday, September 19, the annual celebration of all things TV-related was held. Voters made clear their preferences for which shows they enjoyed the most. After all, Ted Lasso, The Queen’s Gambit, Mare of Easttown and The Crownwere among the big winners, as they all picked up multiple trophies.
There were many moments that viewers couldn’t believe what they had just seen. After all, with Cedric the Entertainer serving as host, the night got fans talking right from the start, as he and a slew of other stars grabbed the mic to rap new lyrics for late musician Biz Markie‘s classic anthem “Just a Friend.”
Other television personalities who made their presences known throughout the night were Conan O’Brien, Michaela Coel, Jason Sudeikis and the cast of last year’s big winner,Schitt’s Creek.
