I dunno. Seems like a pretty big milestone worthy of mention. But that's just me

No there hasn't. Especially behind the camera. And that is the point.

I'll be honest, I would have been happy with Sam Bee or Seth Meyers winning the award and was actually pulling for Seth because I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves.

I would have been happy with a Sam Bee, Seth Meyers, or Stephen win if John Oliver did not win. I think your are right that Seth does not get that much recognition. I think he gets out shined by shows that are flashier. Seth seems more low key and I really like it.

I wish we could see clips for all the acting nominees.* I haven't see Handmaid's Tale or Big Little Lies but that little extra something might persuade me to.

*rather than a sketch with "Emmy"

Lena Waithe and Aziz Ansari winning for that Thanksgiving episode for Master of None is probably the highlight of all the wins so far. So well-deserved. That episode was absolute genius. Lena's speech was beautiful and made me tear up just a little bit.

And now a circlejerk for diversity

You really have to appreciate the irony here: CBS is  the least diverse of the broadcast neworks.  And when they had a show with a racially and trans diverse cast, Doubt, they dumped it  after two episodes.

I'm in the minority here but why do we need to hear about diversity....and the fact that Lena is the first African American woman to win got writing?  Who cares?  If she is talented why does it matter what race or gender she is?  The whole clip on diversity is so self righteous.  There has always been inclusion.  Making it about race IS racist.

Executives don't care.  If they were anymore shallow, they'd be a desert.

Because it's shocking that it hasn't happened yet

Not just you.  I agree completely. Congrats Lena.  And congrats Aziz.

Is Master of None on Netflix?  My sister has Netflix.  Please tell me it is on Netflix.

The bigger issue is there is NOT enough inclusion behind the scenes even when minority actors are finally making major breakthroughs in recent years.  Dave Chapelle's not so subtle crack about 11 black people in the room drives that part home.
