Black Hollywood showed up and showed out at the 2022 Emmy Awards. On Sept. 12, several Black stars made history during TV’s biggest night.
Zendaya became the youngest two-time Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series winner. Quinta Brunson became the third Black person, and second Black woman, to win the writing comedy Emmy after Larry Wilmore (The Bernie Mac Show ) and Lena Waithe (Master of None ). And Sheryl Lee Ralph became just the second Black woman to score an outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series trophy.
When Black Hollywood wasn’t making history, they were winning big — take Lizzo’s “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” which won for Outstanding Competition series, for example. With the win, Lizzo is now halfway to becoming an EGOT winner.
And last but certainly not least, Jerrod Carmichael nabbed his first Emmy award for his HBO comedy special Rothaniel .
Keep scrolling to see the full list of stars who won at the 2022 Emmys below.
#Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph: “Anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream…couldn’t come true. I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like. This is what striving looks like. And don’t you ever, ever give up on you.”
