Night call song1/4/2024 ![]() He encounters a girl named Nazuna Nanakusa, a vampire who shows Ko the joys of being a night-walker. No, this is Tom Wambsgans, so he’s no doubt quietly humiliated and enraged and who knows what’ll happen next season.Unable to sleep or find true satisfaction in his daily life, Ko Yamori stops going to school and begins wandering the streets at night. Matthew Macfadyen of “Succession,” winner for supporting actor in a drama, was also played off, but he didn’t dance. When the music wouldn’t stop despite her pleading “Wait, hold on!,” she just decided to smile and boogey along with it. Jennifer Coolidge was a sentimental favorite to win for “The White Lotus,” and when she did, regaling the audience about a lavender bath she’d taken that day that had an unforeseen effect, she quickly ran out of time with more to say. In reality, though, only some winners had the captioning, and even those who did proceeded to thank a long list of people anyway, making it all feel rather moot. It seemed like a good idea - leading up to the Emmys, nominees were told to send in written lists of people they’d like to thank, to be used in captioning, so their eventual speeches could be more creative, unencumbered by all those names. “I’m not like a sore winner, but I’m gonna go home because I can’t top this right now.” “I made something that was of great personal consequence to me and this definitely contributes to the meaning of it,” he said of his very personal special. ![]() When Jerrod Carmichael won best writing for a comedy special with his “Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel,” he decided to end the evening then and there on a high note, saying he was going home. Lizzo gave a shout-out to her dancers up in the balcony. “Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me.” She said she eventually did, but SHE had to be that person. “When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media,” she said. She was visibly blown away by Ralph’s speech, but soon Lizzo was onstage for her own emotional win for her competition series, “Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls,” in which contestants vie to be her backup dancers, beating out frequent winner “Ru Paul’s Drag Race.” The singer gave a compelling lesson on how crucial representation is in our pop culture. Other repeats: Zendaya of “Euphoria,” repeating her prize from 2020, and Jean Smart, who won her second comedy actress award for “Hacks.” There had been thoughts of an “Abbott Elementary” upset in the comedy category, but it was not to be. “Ted Lasso” repeated last year’s win as best comedy, as did its star, Jason Sudeikis, and supporting actor Brett Goldstein. It was not the only repeat winner, by far. ![]() ![]() Two actresses have already won Emmys for playing the late Queen Elizabeth II on the same show, “The Crown.” Will there be a third, when Imelda Staunton takes over, after Claire Foy and Olivia Colman? In any case, “The Crown,” last year’s drama winner, was not in contention this year, and “Succession” was able to win its second prize, after winning in 2020. Sometimes it’s not clear early on what the big moment of an awards night will be. “This is what believing looks like,” she said. I am a woman, I am an artist, and I know where my voice belongs.” She then admonished anyone watching who’d ever had a dream, to not give up. Declared the victor for supporting actress in a comedy, she ascended the stage and sang the powerful opening to “Endangered Species” by Dianne Reeves: “I am an endangered species but I sing no victim’s song. She declared that no matter what happened inside, she’d already won. Sheryl Lee Ralph had already broken into tears before the show, when she’d been handed a tablet on the carpet with a recorded message of support from a beloved aunt. There was Ralph’s acting prize and Quinta Brunson’s writing award for “Abbott Elementary.” And then there was winner Lizzo, crying as she reminded her audience of the urgency of young people being able to see people who look like them represented in media and culture. Still, there were new and groundbreaking wins like that of actor Lee Jung-jae of “Squid Game,” the first Asian to win the award and a major breakthrough for a foreign-language show along with Hwang Dong-hyuk’s prize for directing. “Succession” and “Ted Lasso,” the big winners in drama and comedy, were repeat winners, as were a number of actors. It was a show that rewarded previous winners in several major categories.
