Lee Jung-Jae Wins Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama for ‘Squid Game’

When is it time to revisit our past? Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black explores his own story in “Mama’s Boy.” The HBO documentary looks at Black’s experience of being a young gay man in the American south and the close connection that shaped his entire life. ‘Boy’ is based on the writer’s memoir “Mama’s Boy: A Story from our Americas.” Black speaks directly about a mother whose life was far from easy – their bonds would only strengthen when he came out at 21.

Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae has made history by becoming the first Korean actor to win an Emmy award for Best Actor in a Drama. During Monday (12 September) night’s ceremony, the 49-year-old actor won the Emmy award for his lead role in the Korean-language series. “Thank you to the Television Academy, thank you to Netflix and thank you to the director for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen with a great script,” he said during his acceptance speech at the star-studded ceremony.

K.J. Yossman “Succession” showrunner Jesse Armstrong made a dig at the U.K.’s King Charles III during his Emmys acceptance speech on Monday night. Taking to the stage along with the show’s execs and castmembers, including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Matthew Macfadyen and Nicholas Braun, to accept the Emmy for outstanding drama series, Armstrong said, “Big week for successions. New king in the U.K., this for us.” Armstrong, who is British, then said: “Evidently a little bit more voting in our winning than Prince Charles,” prompting gasps from the audience and some of his team on stage.

After the intensity and suspense of tonight’s Emmy broadcast, the winners, nominees and presenters gathered afterward to blow off some steam. From the Governors Ball to fetes thrown by HBO and Apple, many of the night’s biggest names were there — except for, of course, Jerrod Carmichael, who took his Emmy and his fur coat and went home.

Succession won the top award of the night at the Emmys and the show’s creator Jesse Armstrong took the moment to throw shade at King Charles III.
