There were several Black presenters on stage at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards—which took place Sunday at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles—but only six Black artists actually made it onto the stage as winners. 

ABC had the U.S. telecast of the ceremony, hosted by father-and-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, two of the Emmy-winning former co-stars of the comedy series “Schitt’s Creek.”

Afro-Latina Liza Colón-Zayas of FX on Hulu’s “The Bear” won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Lamorne Morris of FX’s “Fargo” won in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Max’s “Hacks” won the prize for Outstanding Comedy Series, whose winners included co-executive producer Aisha Muharrar and supervising producer Samantha Riley.

Dulcé Sloan (a rotating guest host for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”) and writer David Kibuuka were two of the winners when “The Daily Show” took the prize for Outstanding Talk Series. Colón-Zayas, Morris, Muharrar, Riley, and Sloan are all first-time Emmy winners. This is Kibuuka’s second Primetime Emmy. He previously won in the same category for “The Daily Show” at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Meanwhile, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and MTV’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race”—two Emmy-winning TV series with Black creators and several Black stars—were completely shut out and didn’t win any Emmys at the ceremony, despite having multiple nominations. “Abbott Elementary” had nine nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. “Abbott Elementary” showrunner Quinta Brunson, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (a prize that she won at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards), lost to Jean Smart of “Hacks.”

As for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” (which had eight Emmy nominations), the show lost to Peacock’s “The Traitors” for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, while “The Traitors” host Alan Cumming won over RuPaul Charles for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program. Sheryl Lee Ralph of “Abbott Elementary,” Ayo Edebiri of “The Bear,” and former “Atlanta” star Donald Glover of Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” were among other previous Emmy-winning Black stars who were snubbed for wins this time around.

FX’s first season of “Shōgun”—which is set in Japan from the mid-1500s to 1600, and is based on James Clavell’s best-selling novel of the same name—had the most wins for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards: 18 prizes out of “Shōgun’s” 25 nominations, including winning Outstanding Drama Series. “The Bear” had the second-highest number of wins, with 11 prizes out of 23 nominations.

In “The Bear,” Colón-Zayas portrays Tina Marrero, a line cook at a Chicago restaurant renamed The Bear. In her acceptance speech, Colón-Zayas thanked her husband, David Zayas, for his support and praised the other nominees in the category and her colleagues from “The Bear. “And to all the Latinas looking at me: Keep believing and vote. Vote for your rights,” she concluded. 

Backstage in the Primetime Emmy Awards press room, Colón-Zayas commented on being the first Latina to win an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: “It’s an epic honor that this South Bronx Nuyorican, that others like me, can see this and see that it is possible. Embrace who you are.”

Colón-Zayas also shared what was going through her mind when she found out she won an Emmy Award over legendary actresses Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett, who were nominated in the same category.

 “Who would dream that that would be possible? It was surreal,” she said, adding, “The main thing  … that I wanted to express is how in awe I am of them, of the people who supported me the whole time, that we feel seen as Brown and Black women, that we do not have an expiration date, and that we all vote.”

When asked what she has to say to Latinas for inspiration and what inspires her, Colón-Zayas replied: “I think we live in hard times. And you can chase a dream, and you can hustle. And after a while, if you don’t have some luck, you can get beaten down, and you can feel not worthy. I felt that for a long time, so I get Tina. There are so many Tinas [who] built this country. I really want us to remember our worth. Our voices, our stories are compelling, they are many, and they are profitable. So, let’s all start paying attention.”

Morris played a state trooper named Whitley “Witt” Farr in the fifth season of the anthology series “Fargo.” In his acceptance speech, Morris thanked his “beautiful mother,”” who raised him, and his “beautiful daughter,” Lily, along with fellow nominees, including Robert Downey Jr. of HBO’s “The Sympathizer.” “Robert Downey Jr., I’ve got a poster of you in my house. Please sign it. Seriously,” Morris quipped.

Backstage in the Primetime Emmy Awards press room, Morris said he hadn’t expected to win or even get nominated, and added, “But it’s a testament to [“Fargo” showrunner] Noah Hawley.”

Morris is a co-star in the comedy film “Saturday Night” (releasing in theaters on Oct. 11), in which he portrays comedian/actor Garrett Morris (no relation), the first Black cast member of “Saturday Night Live.” Lamorne Morris said he hasn’t yet had a chance to talk with “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels: “I saw him in the crowd, and he looks intimidating. I’m going to [talk to Michaels], not about the movie but about me hosting [‘Saturday Night Live’]. I would love to host the show.”

Lamorne Morris further commented on his 4-year-old daughter Lily: “This [Emmy Award] is for her. She is the love of my life. I joke around that she doesn’t respect me. And she doesn’t. But hopefully, now she will. She’s great. She doesn’t quite understand what Daddy does yet. She’ll see Daddy on a billboard on something, and she’ll just point it out. Sometimes, she goes to work with me. Hopefully, she’s getting used to it because I plan on working for a while.”

As for his other thoughts on winning an Emmy Award, Lamore Morris added: “I keep thinking that someone is going to run and steal this sh*t from me. I can’t believe it. It feels like a dream.”

Black presenters at the ceremony were Viola Davis, Giancarlo Esposito, Dulé Hill, Niecy Nash-Betts, Mekhi Phifer, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Sam Richardson, Maya Rudolph, Gina Torres, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Damon Wayans.”
