*Wipes sweat from my brow* Somehow we all survived an Emmy Awards hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che! #MeToo jokes were made, diversity was lampooned, and interns were paraded. And in case you weren’t aware, many people tonight did win tiny golden statues who weren’t a part of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. So here are all your winners for the 2018 Emmy Awards.

DISCUSSION
I’m gonna just take a moment to appreciate how happy I am that Matthew Rhys won. The Americans never got enough love but it’s up there with Breaking Bad as one of my all time favorites. Anyway, my head always nearly exploded when I’d remember that Matthew Rhys was a Welsh guy who was pretending to be Russian who was pretending to be an American who was pretending to be all different kinds of Americans. He’s said in interviews that he can only give 50% of his attention to the acting because he always has half his brain on the accent. I’m just glad he uses his superpowers in Hollywood not as an actual spy because he’d be unstoppable.
