Under natten mot måndag gick den 73:e upplagan av Emmy Awards av stapeln, där tv-serier och skådespelare hyllas för sina insatser under året. Årets värd för galan var Cedric The Entertainer som öppnade galan med en hyllning till bortgångne Biz Markie, i sällskap av bland andra LL Cool J, Lil Dicky och Tom Hanks fru Rita Wilson. Tillsammans framförde de ett medley av rapparens mest kända låt “Just A Friend”, men med egna bidrag i textform.

@RitaWilson rapping to Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" was NOT what I was expecting to see this evening.

But she was good!

Men inte alla var odelat positiva. En del har påpekat det uppenbara misstaget att inte nämna Biz Markies bidrag till branschen med serien “Yo Gabba Gabba”, som dessutom vunnit just en Emmy. Rapparen turnerade i flera år med en live-version av barnserien och medverkade även i flera avsnitt.

Hyllningen kom bara dagar efter att det stått klart att den omtyckta rapparen kommer att få en gata i hemkvarteren på Long Island uppkallad efter sig. Ceremonin sker senare denna vecka, närmare bestämt den 25 september. Juice Crew-ikonen gick som bekant bort den 16 juli i år, efter en ett år lång kamp mot komplikationer av diabetes.

Även nyligen bortgångna Michael K. Williams hedrades på galan. Innan hon presenterade de nominerade och delade ut priset i kategorin Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, som Williams stod nominerad i för sin insats i “Lovecraft Country”, passade Kerry Washington på att hylla den exceptionella skådespelaren med orden:

“The nominees for this next award astounded us with each of their uniquely remarkable, memorable performances this past year. But I’d like to take a moment to mention one nominee in particular, Michael K Williams. Michael was—so crazy to say, was—a brilliantly talented actor and a generous human being who has left us far too soon. Michael, your excellence and artistry will endure. We love you.”

Priset vanns dock inte av Williams, utan av “The Crown”-skådisen Tobias Menzies.
