Outstanding Comedy Series A Black Lady Sketch Show PS: Goodbye Pose! We’re going to miss you.
For fan favorite categories, the winner was 100% determined by reader votes.Īnd without any further ado, here are the winners of Autostraddle’s Fourth Annual Gay Emmys!
We believe that television only works if it’s connecting to its audience, and so we wanted to make sure that our audience had their say. For regular categories, the individual TV Team votes were weighted heavily alongside our reader votes. Then, when we were down to our top six nominees in each category, we opened up the field to you. We wanted to help change the conversation, and highlight who’s pushing the boundary and what’s moved us most. So we spent weeks together pouring over what mattered to us, reliving this past year, and voting for what we believed in. To celebrate the stories and talents and creators that the mainstream Television Academy still misses year after year. The Autostraddle Gay Emmys began with a relatively simple goal: To honor the very best in lesbian, bisexual, queer, and trans television. And then there was all of you, 14 thousand of you who voted in under 48 hours! We love queer television because television brings us together, and nothing better defines that spirit than this little homegrown awards contest. When we had a tie in one of the categories - an actual tie, even after THREE rounds of voting - Kayla and Drew both stepped up to write extra on top of their duties. Carmen organized the voting and these posts, Heather Hogan made the graphics, Natalie helped with formatting, if you follow us on Twitter than you’ve seen what Valerie’s done to promote our annual virtual awards show this week (and if you know social media, then you know it’s art). Last night, when the Autostraddle TV Team was scrambling to finish all of our various writing for this year’s awards before the deadline, Drew Gregory said, “I love the Gay Emmys and am so glad we’re still doing them!!”Īnd the fact that we’re still able to pull off this titanic ship four years in, two years into a pandemic, is no small feat.
