VOX – The 2019 Emmy winners included Gwendoline Christie, both for Game of Thrones‘ Best Drama award and dominating the red carpet as usual; Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who cleaned house with Fleabag; and jokes about how cheerful and uplifting Chernobyl is — but, sadly, did not include Russian Doll, which nonetheless remains a perfect show

LAINEY GOSSIP – Jharrel Jerome won When They See Us‘ only award of the night, for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie; if you’ve not yet heard of him, get ready to, since at 21 years old he’s the youngest person ever to win the category
