Emmy Awards 2018: Marvelous Mrs. Maisel verrast

Eergisternacht werden de beste Amerikaanse televisieseries, hun acteurs en makers beloond met prestigieuze Emmy-beeldjes. De grootste winnaar, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, was tevens de grootste verrassing van die avond.

De reeks van Amazon, over een New Yorkse huisvrouw in de jaren 50 die haar talent voor stand-up comedy ontdekt, streek maar liefst vijf beeldjes op in de categorie voor komedieseries. De showrunners wonnen twee beeldjes voor hun scenario- en regiewerk. Daarnaast mochten acteurs Rachel Brosnahan, voor haar hoofdrol, en Alex Borstein, voor haar bijrol, zichzelf op de schouders kloppen.

Ook in de komediecategorie sterk aanwezig: Barry, een donkere komedie op HBO over een huurmoordenaar die acteur wordt. Hoofdrolspeler Bill Hader en bijrol Henry Winkler vielen in de prijzen.

HBO won zoals gewoonlijk wat prijzen voor Game of Thrones: die van beste dramaserie en beste bijrol voor Peter Dinklage. Thandie Newton werd beloond voor haar bijrol in Westworld. Zender FX scoorde drie keer met The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story in de categorie beste minireeks. En het net afgelopen The Americans viel in de prijzen voor beste scenario en beste hoofdacteur (Matthew Rhys) voor een dramaserie.

Netflix was minder aanwezig met het beeldje voor beste actrice in een dramareeks voor Claire Foy in The Crown, beste regie voor die historische reeks en wat acteerprijzen voor de minireeks Godless.

Atlanta en The Handmaid’s Tale grijpen naast de prijzen

Ook opvallend afwezig tussen al de prijzen was het ijzersterke Atlanta van Donald Glover, dat wel genomineerd werd in de categorieën voor komedie, maar niks wist te verzilveren (maar Teddy Perkins zat wel in het publiek). En hoe komt het dat The Handmaid’s Tale in tegenstelling tot vorig jaar verloor in de grote categorieën?

Wie er ook wint, de kijker is de grote winnaar, want de Emmy Awards zijn ook de uitgelezen kans om kennis te maken met series die misschien onder je radar vlogen (ik kijk naar jou, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel en Barry). Duik hieronder in de volledige lijst van winnaars en genomineerden:
