Most diverse,Playboy foursome season 1 episode 2 least boring – the 2016 Emmys deserve awards of their own.

"There are 17 million Asian Americans in this country, and there are 17 million Italians," Yang said in his acceptance speech for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series. "They have The Godfather, Goodfellas, Rocky, The Sopranos...we got Long Duk Dong, so we've got a long way to go."
In closing, Yang had one request to the Asian parents watching, after thanking his own.

Ansari was the first to call out Emmy producers ("You're all in big trouble!" he called as he prematurely exited the stage) for playing off the award for Writing in a Comedy Series before he could give his speech. Luckily, he presented later and was able to thank his parents for inspiring the winning Master of None episode – but after Yang's speech about how Hollywood treats Asian Americans, silencing Ansari could not have been more poorly timed.

Where the Oscars were too white, the Emmys were brilliantly, beautifully diverse. From Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang's writing award for an episode about their immigrant parents to Courtney B. Vance, Sterling K. Brown and Rami Malek winning in major acting categories, it was a great night for toppling all types of hegemony.
Jeffrey Tambor and Jill Soloway spoke lovingly to the trans community, encouraging Hollywood to audition and cast trans actors. Later on, presenter and Emmy winner Laverne Cox echoed the sentiment and kept up the spirit of inclusivity.
