Hi Everyone!
In case you might not know who I am, my name is Jasmine and I am a freelancer/journalist in the Media & Entertainment industry. I have a passion for all things in this industry. With that being said, the Emmys just happened like a couple of hours ago. There is so much to digest and things to talk about, but don't worry as I will break it down for you.
Tis award season! However, this year the 72nd Primetime Emmys took place in the most unconventional way. Namely without an audience and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. It was a night to remember as there were memorable moments. Firstly, "Schitt's Creek" became the first series to ever win every major comedy category. Also, Zendaya made history as the youngest to ever win an Emmy for for Lead Actress in a Drama!
