Black Hollywood showed up and showed out at the 2022 Emmy Awards.

On Monday (September 12), several Black stars made history during television's biggest night. Zendaya became the youngest two-time Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series winner. Quinta Brunson became the third Black person, and second Black woman, to win the writing comedy Emmy after Larry Wilmore (The Bernie Mac Show) and Lena Waithe (Master of None); and Sheryl Lee Ralph became just the second Black woman to score an outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series trophy.

When Black Hollywood wasn't making history, they were winning big -- take Lizzo's "Watch Out for the Big Grrrls," which won for Outstanding Competition series, for example. With the win, Lizzo is now halfway to becoming an EGOT winner.

Jerrod Carmichael also nabbed his first Emmy award for his HBO comedy special Rothaniel.

Prior to Monday's show, several Black stars took home Emmys during the Creative Art Emmys, including President Barack Obama, Colman Domingo, and RuPaul.
