Key Background

At last week’s Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies, Adele and Eminem each won their first trophy, putting them both a Tony Award away from achieving an EGOT (Adele won an Emmy for her concert special last year, and Eminem earned an award for the Super Bowl halftime show). Former President Barack Obama won for narrating Netflix’s Our Great National Parks. RuPaul continued his streak as the winningest Black artist with his win for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program. Ahead of the competition, a study from the Women’s Media Center found that only 33% of nominations in non-acting categories went to women.
