“The Studio” Makes Comedy History
The Studio cemented its position in the history of television by winning a new record of Emmy. The satirical, stinging and witty mock roll of the inner Hollywood world, the show garnered the much desired and most coveted Outstanding Comedy Series award. Its co-creator and lead, Seth Rogen, had a massive night, winning the trophies of the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, as well as directing and writing.
This was the first Emmy win of Rogen in the acting category. The popularity of the show is indicative of an emerging trend of streaming platforms that create highly original comedic material that is both critically successful and popular. The comedy series also scooped the Creative Arts Emmys big in technical division.
“Adolescence” Triumphs with Powerful Storytelling
Netflix Adolescence was widely acclaimed by critics and received Emmy glory due to its honest depiction of a teenage boy accused of a serious crime. The series had won several awards including the best in the known category of outstanding limited series. Its star, Stephen Graham, won the Emmy as the best Lead actor in a Limited Series and his young co-star, Owen Cooper, became the youngest male actor in the last 40 years to win the Emmy as the best Supporting Actor.
The filming style in the show, which evoked the audience with its emotional content and technical boldness (a one-take), won the show more awards in directing and writing, establishing it as an indispensable show in the series.
