That’s nice of you to say because we work really, really hard on them and try and make every line as good as we can and then we work with actors who don't let us off the hook if there ever is a piece which doesn't have that rhythm and we work with them to get it right.” OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES WINNERS FOR TED LASSO CAST AND CREW WALKING ON STAGE WHITE FLASH OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES WINNER FOR TED LASSO, JASON SUDEIKIS, SAYING: (Journalist asking: What can you tell us about the future of the show beyond season three?) “I think you've been misled.” (Journalist saying: all right.) “I don't, cause I don't, I don't know it's up to more factors than myself. (Journalist asking: Are you saying that maybe you would be up for doing a season four?)” I don't think I was.” (Journalist asking: but now you are?) “But I don't know if I did.” (Journalist asking: Jason, will there be a season four of Ted Lasso?) “I don't know.” OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A VARIETY SPECIAL WINNER, JERROD CARMICHAEL, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A VARIETY SPECIAL WINNER, JERROD CARMICHAEL, SAYING: “You know it's Fox, it’s vintage, Puff Daddy wore it in a music video, it may as well be the Shroud of Turin to me. I'm very happy in it, happy I won in it, goes well with gold. You know, look, I felt pretty good. I feel good actually tonight like LA gets chilly at night so this is right.” BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE WINNER FOR DOPESICK, MICHAEL KEATON, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE WINNER FOR DOPESICK, MICHAEL KEATON, SAYING: “People say there's too much content which might or might not be true, you don't know where to look and I'm not one who follows every series you know? I'm a big Severance fan right now and that’s kind of my thing I'm watching. And like that, you know, but you don't get these things very often you get the quality, the great Danny Strong, you know, and everybody, Warren Littlefield, legendary. You get this group of people and this kind of material and it was about something, great character, real challenging. Why would you not do it, you know?” BEST LEAD ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE FOR THE DROPOUT, AMANDA SEYFRIED, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) BEST LEAD ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE FOR THE DROPOUT, AMANDA SEYFRIED, SAYING: “You know what’s funny? Elizabeth Holmes and I both were on the dance team in our high schools, which I found out very early on in my preparation and my research and I found that really astounding because it's very rare that you meet someone that was in a dance team and from who I spoke to, apparently she was not great and I was also in the third row, which is where they put you when you're not that great. So the fact that we both have that in our pasts and the fact that I've seen her dance in a way that's unlike a good dancer, I knew that I could, that was one of the things that really made me feel connected to her. I know it sounds crazy but that was one of the most fun parts about it. Like, ‘oh I have an in there’.” OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A COMEDY SERIES WINNER FOR ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, QUINTA BRUNSON, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A COMEDY SERIES WINNER FOR ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, QUINTA BRUNSON, SAYING: “The bit didn't bother me that much. I don't know what the Internet thinks, but I don't know, I know him, honestly it was kind of, Jimmy gave me my first like big late-night spot, and was one of the first people to see Abbott, and one of the first people he - Instagram messaged me that he saw this comedy and thought it was one of the greatest comedies of all time and he was so excited it was going to be on ABC. So I think in that moment I was just really happy that it was Jimmy up there, I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers. I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett so I was wrapped up in the moment, I don't know. Tomorrow maybe I'll be mad at him. I'm going to be on his show on Wednesday so I might punch him in the face, I don't know, we'll see what happens.” BEST LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES WINNER FOR HACKS, JEAN SMART, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) BEST LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES WINNER FOR HACKS, JEAN SMART, SAYING: “You know when you get the second season it's almost kind of, it's such a compliment and it means that the first season wasn't just a happy accident. And so you can kind of just relax a little and just kind of enjoy it and enjoy the ride. And again, like I said out there, I was blown away by the episodes that the writers come up with for season two because season two is a real test and they aced it big time.” BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES FOR SQUID GAME, LEE JUNG-JAE, AND OUTSTANDING DIRECTING FOR A DRAMA SERIES WINNER FOR SQUID GAME, HWANG DONG-HYUK, WALKING TOWARDS MICROPHONE WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (Korean) BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES FOR SQUID GAME, LEE JUNG-JAE, SAYING: English translator: “And so I feel that if we feel truly in our hearts that something we made is great and very entertaining, that naturally translates overseas and it is understood and enjoyed anywhere around the world.” WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (Korean) OUTSTANDING DIRECTING FOR A DRAMA SERIES WINNER FOR SQUID GAME, HWANG DONG-HYUK, SAYING: English translator: “Yes I am aware of the reality show being created. I actually met with the creator yesterday and they had many questions for me. What I hope is that they will be carrying on my vision and intention as much as possible for the show.” LEE JUNG-JAE AND HWANG DONG-HYUK WALKING OFF STAGE

  • Story Text: Media dynasty drama "Succession" and feel-good comedy "Ted Lasso" took the top honors at the Emmy awards in Hollywood on Monday (September 12), and a "Squid Game" actor landed a major acting trophy.
    Backstage, winners dodged questions from journalists trying to stay clear from spoilers. Asked if there would be a “Ted Lasso” season 4, Jason Sudeikis repeatedly answered “I don’t know.”
    "Succession" was named best drama series, an award the show had won in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted its production schedule. The show, which secured four trophies overall, tells the story of the wealthy and back-stabbing Roy family as members jockey for power.
    "Ted Lasso" also was a repeat winner, claiming best comedy for the second straight year for its tale of an American football coach leading a British soccer team. Its stars Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein were second-time winners of best comedy actor and supporting actor.
    Likewise, voters honored "Euphoria" star Zendaya for best drama actress and Jean Smart of "Hacks" for best comedy actress. It was the second win for each in those categories.
    One newcomer to break through was Lee Jung-jae, who was named best drama actor for his role on South Korean thriller "Squid Game." The dystopian story about cash-strapped contestants risking their lives for wealth became a global sensation after its release on Netflix a year ago.
    The most-lauded show of the night was HBO's "The White Lotus." It won 10 awards including best limited series and acting trophies for Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett.
