The world of television may have been severely disrupted over the past year due to industry-wide strikes, but the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards<\/a><\/strong> were as eventful as ever. Originally intended to take place in September 2023, the awards show was delayed into the new year due to the strikes of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors’ Guild from May to November 2023. <\/p>\n

Now that the industry is back to work as (somewhat) usual, the biggest stars of the small screen are celebrating the very best of the ever-expanding world of television, with Television Academy members casting their votes for the best of the mid-2022-2023 season. During last night’s ceremony, records were smashed left and right – some positive, some negative, and some mixed, shining light on the more problematic aspects of the continuously changing world of TV. <\/p>\n

Quinta Brunson’s historic \u2014 and deeply troubling \u2014 win for Abbott Elementary<\/em><\/h2>\n

Quinta Brunson made history at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards when she won the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series award for her role as Janine Teagues in Abbott Elementary<\/a><\/strong>, <\/em>on which Brunson also serves as creator and showrunner. In the three-quarters of a century the Emmys have been running, Quinta is only the second Black woman to win the award. <\/p>\n

Previously, the last \u2014 and only \u2014 time a Black woman has won the award was back in 1981, when Isabel Sanford won for The Jeffersons. <\/em>For scale, that’s a 43-year gap occurring eight years before Brunson was born. <\/p>\n

While Quinta’s success is certainly something to celebrate, the record only highlights a glaring omission of black talent from TV’s highest honor. Given that The<\/em> Jeffersons<\/em> broke ground as one of the first major sitcoms to feature a black family, as well as its influence on future TV juggernauts like The Cosby Show <\/em>and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/em> (in which several Jeffersons <\/em>characters featured), the disparity between cultural impact and accolades for many black-led sitcoms is as apparent as ever. <\/p>\n
