There were plenty of noteworthy moments from Sunday night’s 77th Primetime Emmy Awards , from Hannah Einbinder’s “f*ck ICE and free Palestine” speech to Tramell Tillman becoming the first Black actor to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
But some of the most intriguing moments actually happened off camera. Deadline was in attendance at tonight’s show, keeping an eye on everything unfolding when and where the cameras weren’t rolling. Here’s some of what we saw:
Stephen Colbert was the man of the hour
As soon as The Late Show ‘s Stephen Colbert hit the stage early in the night to present the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (which went to The Studio ‘s Seth Rogen), he was met with a massive round of applause and a 30-second standing ovation.
