Because I am a television junkie the Emmy's is my chance to see my television God's reap the fruit of their labor. A lot of my favorite Actresses were nominated, so the excitement was real, and

it got really intense

when my baby-father

Jon Hamm finally won his long awaited Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama.

The Best Lead Actress in a Drama category was most interesting for me because I actually watch all the shows in this category (except Orphan Black) all excellent actresses. I was really rooting for either Taraji or Viola because if either one of then won it would be the first time in 67 years that a black woman took home the prize.

Tears came to my eyes when Viola Davis won the award for Best Actress in a Drama because her speech was so outstanding here's a quote;

"‘In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me, over that line. But I can’t seem to get there no how. I can’t seem to get over that line.’That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s. And let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there. So here’s to all the writers, the awesome people that are Ben Sherwood, Paul Lee, Peter Nowalk, Shonda Rhimes, people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black. And to the Taraji P. Henson’s, the Kerry Washington’s, the Halle Berry’s, the Nicole Beharies, the Meagan Goods, to Gabrielle Union: Thank you for taking us over that line. Thank you to the Television Academy. Thank you.'"

Viola Davis winning showed black girls and women of color that yes we can . Yes we can be on television, telling interesting, real life, and in-depth stories. She made an excellent point about opportunity and a lot of people got into their feeling when she specifically mention her hardship and spoke about her experience as a woman of color. But I took it as her speaking about her struggle and sharing her truth as a black woman. Yes there are a lot of different hardships that women today in the film industry face such as sexism, and inequality in pay, but when you look at the hardships that black and Hispanic women face you can't even begin to compare.

Another big win was Uzo Aduba for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama and Regina Hall for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited series all these women were amazing an well deserved their award, altogether it was an amazing show and a huge win for women of color. So here a few of my favorite looks.
