On the night of 20th, September 2015, The 67th Emmy Awards was held and it unveiled great wins and losses. I didn’t get to watch it myself but I saw highlights and I was impressed with the event. Actors were decked in elegantly fashionable dresses, the red carpet was buzzing paparazzis and flashing, it all seemed wonderful. The awards this year saw How to Get Away With Murder‘s Viola Davis make history as the first African-American to win Lead Actress in a Drama; Veep broke Modern Family‘s five-year streak for Comedy Series, while Veep‘s Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale took home hardware for Lead Actress and Supporting Actor.
