"Record-Breaking 2023 Emmys: Celebrating Black Excellence and Fashion"

The 75th Primetime Emmys, hosted by Anthony Anderson, celebrated Black representation in television with a Black host, multiple Black winners, and reunions of under-appreciated Black television shows, making it one of the Blackest Emmys in recent memory. The ceremony coincidentally took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and featured nods to historic Black TV series and honorees. Notable wins included Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, Niecy Nash-Betts, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Trevor Noah, with special appearances from Tracee Ellis Ross, Taraji P. Henson, and Sheryl Lee Ralph. Anderson's mother, Mama Doris, also stole the show as a charming human version of the play-off music for acceptance speeches.
