Creative Arts Emmys host Nicole Byer and winners address the pandemic and racial equality
The Creative Arts Emmys host performed a bit themed to the socially-distant ceremony when she nominated, among other titles, for the fake prize:"because, honestly, you should know it — we should all be wearing masks," she explained.
During her monologue, Byer noted the show's change of scene as she stood in front of the Television Academy's sign in North Hollywood."Ordinarily, we'd be having this show in a packed theater somewhere in Los Angeles, but as we know, there's nothing ordinary about 2020. It's wild! And I'll admit, it's a little odd to be hosting a show like this with no audience but it comforts me to know that you're all applauding wildly for me at home," she joked.
On the ceremony's second night on Tuesday, Byer argued that television has become"what some might call an essential service" due to the uptick in viewership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tuesday's show also honored late-night television, which Byer said has"led the way for this new normal," with a short video compilation of late-night hosts filming from their respective homes.
Elsewhere, other presenters and winners also addressed the pandemic, along with other topical issues including equality and politics.Last Week TonightDuring Thursday evening's ceremony, Byer noted that due to many isolating at home, television has become its own"essential service." A montage followed showing late-night hosts performing their sets from home as well as philanthropic series like Saturday Night Seder and iHeartRadio Living Room Concert for America.
Meanwhile, the academy also mentioned that Ernst & Young is responsible for tallying the votes and keep the winners secret. In reference to the pandemic, three"executives" were shown holding briefcases, with two in hazmat suits and a third wearing an inflatable bubble ball. All three were standing six feet apart.for outstanding original interactive program, Jones said the win is dedicated to"all the people marching for justice all around the world.
