It was a mixed night for LGBT interest at the Emmys yesterday. There was some good news, including Jim Parsons picking up his fourth Emmy for The Big Bang Theory and gay-friendly Modern Family tying the record for most Best Comedy Series wins by making it five in a row.
However most had expected the big LGBT winner of the evening to be The Normal Heart. However while it picked up the prestigious Best TV Movie gong, it was shut out in all the other categories. That includes losing in the Best Supporting Actor category, which many had expected Matt Bomer to win easily. Some now feel the fact it had four our of six nominations in that category ended up splitting its vote, handing it to Martin Freeman for Sherlock instead.
Orange Is The New Black also walked away empty-handed, although Uzo Aduba did pick up Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for playing Suzanne ‘Crazy Eyes’ Warren earlier this month at the Creative Arts Emmys.
Take a look below for the moment The Normal Heart won Best TV Movie, where director Ryan Murphy and many of the cast were joined on stage by writer Larry Kramer.
