Didn't Sheen/Janney miss out too? Or am I imagining that.

That was the year before. The Sopranos wasn't eligible that year. It is interesting it happened with Emmys faves two years in a row, though.

I didn't realize M*A*S*H only won Comedy Series once, and that Alda only won Comedy Actor twice. For some reason I thought it was more lauded. It was consistently against All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, and Taxi, though.

That was the first season they instituted a different panel/voting structure.

Both were robbed, though. Gandolfini in particular was just awe-inspiring.

Fuck. I miss him on an oddly personal level.

What was Panjabi’s tape the year she won?

I just watched Archie Panjabi's win and speech, and she and Margulies clearly got along well at that time:

Did any details of their falling out ever come to light?

The episode where she testifies on the witness stand.

Nothing ever came out.

Colin Jost and Michael Che are hosting the Emmys.

Here's an interesting incident at the 1985 Emmys.

Betty Thomas just won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Emmy for Hill Street Blues and some guy beat her to the podium already trying to accept the Emmy "on her behalf".

Zendaya's win got me thinking: Just how diverse are the acting categories at the Emmys? So I decided to get into a Wikipedia deep dive and research how many non-whites have won in the each of the major acting categories (I'm not including Guest, Voice and Short-Form acting categories).
