AWARDS.
PLEASE WELCOME YOUR HOST, JIMMY

KIMMEL!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

♪

>> WELL, HELLO, AND WELCOME TO
THE PANDEMMYS.

IT'S GREAT TO FINALLY SEE PEOPLE
AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR RISKING EVERYTHING
TO BE HERE.

THANK ME FOR RISKING EVERYTHING
TO BE HERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, YOU
CAN'T HAVE A VIRUS WITHOUT A

HOST. THE BIG QUESTION I THINK WE
SHOULD ANSWER IS WHY WOULD YOU

HAVE AN AWARDS SHOW IN THE
MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC?

SERIOUSLY, I'M ASKING.
WHY ARE WE HAVING AN AWARDS SHOW

IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC?
AND WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING

HERE?
THIS IS THE YEAR THEY DECIDE

THEY HAVE TO HAVE A HOST?
WHY IS A QUESTION I'VE BEEN

ASKED A LOT THIS WEEK.
AND I GET IT, IT MIGHT SEEM

FRIVOLOUS AND UNNECESSARY, BUT
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE SEEMS

FRIVOLOUS AND UNNECESSARY?
DOING IT EVERY OTHER YEAR.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TONIGHT IS NOT
IMPORTANT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP COVID OR
PUT OUT THE FIRES, BUT IT'S FUN.

AND RIGHT NOW, WE NEED FUN.
THIS HAS BEEN A MISERABLE YEAR.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR OF DIVISION,

INJUSTICE, DISEASE, ZOOM SCHOOL,
DISASTER, AND DEATH.

WE'VE BEEN QUARANTINED AND
LOCKED DOWN, CONFINED TO OUR

HOMES LIKE PRISONERS.
WHAT DID WE FIND IN THAT DARK

AND LONELY TUNNEL?
WE FOUND A FRIEND WHO IS THERE

FOR US 24 HOURS A DAY.
OUR OLD PAL, TELEVISION.

THAT'S RIGHT.
TELEVISION IS YOUR FRIEND, IT'S

YOUR BIG BROTHER, YOUR SISTER,

YOUR MAMA'S FAMILY, YOUR TWO
DADS, THREE SONS, CRAZY

EX‐GIRLFRIEND, EVEN YOUR DOG,
THE BOUNTY HUNTER.

TELEVISION IS THERE FOR YOU,
EVERY DAY OF YOUR 600‐POUND

LIFE.
THE WORLD MAY BE TERRIBLE, BUT

TV HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER.
AND TONIGHT, WE ARE PAYING

TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT SHOWS AND
THE HISTORY MAKING NOMINEES.

HATS OFF TO THE TELEVISION

VISIONARY NORMAN LEAR, THE
OLDEST WINNER EVER AT AGE 98.

NORMAN DIDN'T GROW UP DREAMING
OF WINNING EMMYS.

IN FACT, TELEVISION WASN'T
SOMETHING PEOPLE HAD UNTIL HE

WAS A TEENAGER.
WHEN HE HWAS A BOY, HIS DREAM WS

NOT TO GET KICKED TO DEATH BY A
HORSE. NORMAN, YOU ARE A MIRACLE.

THE ONLY THING I'LL BE PRODUCING
WHEN I'M 98 IS PHLEGM.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE ALSO IN

ORDER FOR A YOUNG UPSTART NAMED

QUIBI, WHICH HAS TEN NOMINATIONS
THIS YEAR, INCLUDING DUMBEST

THING TO EVER COST $1 BILLION.
THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT DRAMAS

THIS YEAR, AND COMEDIES, TOO.
A LITTLE SHOW FROM OUR FRIENDLY

NEIGHBORS UP NORTH IS UP FOR
EVERY EMMY.

15 NOMINATIONS FOR "SCHITT'S
CREEK."

BY THE WAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
SEEING THAT LOGO A LOT.

IN ORDER TO MEET BROADCAST
STANDARDS, THE SENSORS HAVE

DECIDED EVERY TIME I SAY THAT,

WE'RE REQUIRED TO PUT "SCHITT'S

CREEK" ON THE SCREEN.

HBO CAN SHOW YOU A BLUE PENIS,
NO PROBLEM.

I CAN'T SAY THAT WORD.
AND SPEAKING OF BLUE

PENISES, "WATCHMEN" HAS 26
NOMINATIONS.

IT'S A SUPERHERO SHOW, VERY

REALISTIC EXCEPT FOR THE PART
WHERE ANYONE IN OKLAHOMA IS

WEARING A MASK.

ISN'T "WATCHMEN" ALSO WHAT JERRY

FALWELL JR. WAS INTO?
HEY, WAS THAT ME? WAIT.

IF I'M DOWN THERE, HOW AM I UP
HERE?

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT NO ONE IS
IN THE AUDIENCE.

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT I'M UP HERE
ALL ALONE.

JUST LIKE PROM NIGHT.
OF COURSE I'M HERE ALL ALONE.

OF COURSE WE DON'T HAVE AN
AUDIENCE.

THIS ISN'T A MAGA RALLY, IT'S
THE EMMYS.

INSTEAD OF A LIVE AUDIENCE, WE
TOOK A PAGE FROM BASEBALL AND

FILLED THE SEATS WITH CARDBOARD
CUTOUTS OF THE NOMINEES.

WE HAVE REGINA, HUGH, JASON,

MERYL ‐‐ WAIT A MINUTE.
GO BACK ONE. JASON? JASON?

I KNOW IT'S YOU.
I SAW YOUR EYES MOVING.

>> THEY DIDN'T MOVE.

>> YES, THEY DID MOVE.

>> MIND YOUR BUSINESS, KIMMEL.
BIG NIGHT FOR ME.

>> I KNOW IT'S A BIG NIGHT, BUT
YOU CAN'T BE IN HERE.

WE HAVE VERY STRICT SAFETY
PROTOCOLS.

>> I'M CLEAN, GUY.
I'M A BIG WASHER‐UPPER.

SMELL MY HANDS.
THEY'RE LIKE A GARDEN.

>> I'M SURE YOU'RE CLEAN.
WE JUST HAVE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY

PEOPLE WE CAN HAVE IN THE
BUILDING. YOU NEED TO GO.

>> NO, I DON'T.
I HAVEN'T LEFT THE HOUSE FOR SIX

MONTHS.
I WANT TO BE HERE, I WANT TO EAT

SHRIMP WITH THE CAST OF "THE
CROWN."

I WANT MARIO LOPEZ TO ASK ME
ABOUT MY PANTS. LET'S GO.

>> YOU CAN STAY, AS LONG AS YOU

PROMISE TO LAUGH AT MY JOKES.

>> HUH. I'M OUT.
I'M GOING TO CALL A CAR.

>> YOU'RE NOMINATED, YOU KNOW.

>> I KNOW.
IF I WIN, GIVE IT TO CHEADLE.

>> WHEN WAS THAT PHOTO TAKEN?

>> IT'S TOUGH. I DON'T AGE.

>> LET'S GET GOING.
BUT FIRST, LET'S HAVE A STANDING

OVATION FOR ME.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THANK YOU. IT'S TOO MUCH.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S HOW THE SHOW WILL WORK.
OR NOT.

WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO SOMETHING
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED

BEFORE. AND FOR GOOD REASON.
INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE NOMINEES

TO US, WE WENT TO THEM.
WE HAVE LIVE FEEDS TO AND FROM

MORE THAN 100 LOCATIONS AROUND
THE WORLD.

YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET

YOUR PAIRENTS TO FACETIME?
MULTIPLY THAT A LOT.

THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS.
THIS IS THE NERVE CENTER.

WE'VE TAKEN EVERY SAFETY
PRECAUTION, AND THESE ARE

TONIGHT'S NOMINEES.
HELLO, EVERYONE, AND

CONGRATULATIONS.
THEY'RE ALL STANDING BY.

WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR
WEEKS NOW, WITH CAMERAS AND

MICROPHONES IN YOUR HOMES.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY

STARTED DRINKING? SHOW OF HANDS.
VERY GOOD.

I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A BEST BUY.
THIS IS WONDERFUL.

SO HERE'S HOW THIS IS GONNA
HAPPEN.

IF YOU WIN, WE'LL HAVE A GUY
DRIVE TO YOUR HOUSE AND CHUCK

THE EMMY THROUGH YOUR WINDOW.
NO, WE WON'T DO THAT, BUT WE

WILL BE CONNECTED TO EVERYONE
THROUGHOUT THE SHOW, HOPEFULLY.

THIS IS THE SHOW THAT WILL
FINALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION,

DOES ALAN ARKIN KNOW HOW TO USE

A WEBCAM?
WE DON'T HAVE AN ORCHESTRA THIS

YEAR, BUT D‐NICE IS SPINNING THE
HITS ALL NIGHT LONG.

LET'S GIVE OUT SOME EMMY AWARDS.

>> LET'S DO IT.

ABOUT, BUT OKAY.

HE WAS LIKE, THE BLACK AUDIENCE
WANTS TO SEE FAMILIAR FACES.

YOU MIGHT NEED TO SWITCH UP THE

AND MIND YOU, HE'S THIS
EXECUTIVE WHO IS NOT BLACK

TELLING ME WHAT BLACK PEOPLE
LIKE.

AND IT JUST BECAME VERY CLEAR TO
ME THAT HE DIDN'T GET THE SHOW.

AND I REMEMBER JUST FUMING IN
THAT MEETING, LIKE, WHY DOES HE

GET TO TELL ME WHAT GETS TO BE
ON TV?

WHY DOES HE GET TO TELL ME WHAT
PEOPLE LIKE ME LIKE TO SEE?

WHEN I'M HERE, I'M TELLING YOU
WHAT I WANT TO SEE. I MADE IT.

FOR ME THAT MOMENT WAS THE
MOTIVATION I NEEDED TO KEEP

DOING WHAT I WAS DOING.
TO KIND OF BET ON MYSELF.

"WATCHMEN" WAS A STORY ABOUT

TRAUMA, AND THE LASTING SCARS OF

WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORISM, POLICE
CORRUPTION AND BRUTALITY.

BUT IT WAS ALSO A STORY OF A GOD
WHO CAME DOWN TO EARTH TO

RECIPROCATE TO A BLACK WOMAN ALL
THE LOVE SHE DESERVED.

AND HE DID ALL OF THAT IN THE
BODY OF A BLACK MAN, AND I'M SO

PROUD TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WALK

CONNECT OVER THE STORIES.

I SEE HOW THAT OPENS OUR EYES

AND HOPEFULLY BRINGS US TOGETHER

OTHER'S WORLDS, HEAR EACH

OTHER'S VOICES, AND SEE OTHER
PERSPECTIVES MORE CLEARLY.

AND FEW HAVE DONE MORE TO
WIDEN THE SCOPE OF TELEVISION

THAN TYLER PERRY.

A GROUP OF INDUSTRY

PROFESSIONALS WHO DEDICATE THEIR

GUARANTEES, AND IT TAKES
EXTRAORDINARY GRIT AND

UNWAVERING PASSION, AND A

AND BY DOING SO SHOWED THE WORLD
THERE'S A DIFFERENT PATH TO

ULTIMATE SUCCESS.
TYLER IS THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT

OF THE GOVERNOR'S AWARD, BECAUSE
HE DREAMED THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.

HE BEARED THE UNBEARABLE SORROW,
AND FOUGHT THE UNBEATABLE FOE,

TO RUN WHERE THE BRAVE DARE NOT
GO.

HE'S DONE WHAT NO ONE BEFORE HAS
ACCOMPLISHED, TO MAKE IT IN

HOLLYWOOD AS AN OUTSIDER.
KNOWING THE TRADITIONAL

HOLLYWOOD WAY WASN'T FOR HIM, HE
CARVED HIS OWN PATH.

>> HE WROTE A PLAY.
INVESTED HIS OWN MONEY IN IT.

AND IT FLOPPED, HARD.

>> I THOUGHT 1,200 PEOPLE WOULD
SHOW UP, AND ONLY 30 DID.

>> IT LASTED A WEEKEND.
THEN HE LIVED IN A CAR, WHICH

SUCKS, BECAUSE TYLER IS 6'5",
AND HIS CAR WAS A GEO METRO.

>> LIVING THAT CAN BE A MIGHTY
MOTIVATOR.

AND A MOTIVATED TYLER PERRY
WOULD SOON FIND SUCCESS ON HIS

OWN TERMS.

>> AND OF COURSE, HOLLYWOOD
WELCOMED AN INDEPENDENT BLACK

MAN WITH OPEN ARMS.
WAIT, I MISREAD THAT.

HOLLYWOOD SAW HIM AS A FAD AND
DIDN'T DO [ BLEEP ] TO HELP HIM.

HE IS BOTH TALENTED AND CRAZY,
FINANCING HIS OWN FILMS, RACKING

UP HIT AFTER HIT.
IN THE HOOD, THEY SAY I GOT

RECEIPTS. AND TYLER HAD RECEIPTS.

>> AND WE DID A FILM, BECAUSE
TYLER ENSURED THAT BLACK PEOPLE

WOULD BE REPRESENTED IN FRONT OF

>> HIS SETS FELT LIKE
WATCHING "BLACK PANTHER."

THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE.

AND AFTER HE AMASSED $1 BILLION

AT THE NORTH AMERICAN BOX
OFFICE, HE TURNED HIS EYE TO

TYLER PERRY DID TV HIS WAY.

THANK YOU TO THE TELEVISION

TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, TO

TIM, ARI, MATT, TO EVERYBODY AT
TYLER PERRY STUDIOS AND MY

FOUNDATION. THIS IS AMAZING.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO FEEL THIS WAY.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 19, I LEFT HOME
AND MY GRANDMOTHER GAVE ME A

QUILT THAT SHE HAD MADE.
AND THIS QUILT WAS SOMETHING

THAT I DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR.
IT HAD ALL THESE DIFFERENT

COLORS AND PATCHES IN IT.
I WAS EMBARRASSED BY IT.

I PUT NO VALUE IN IT AT ALL.
WHEN THE DOG GOT WET, I DRIED

HIM OFF WITH IT.
WHEN I CHANGED THE CAR OIL, I

LAID IT ON THE GROUND.
I HAD NO RESPECT FOR THIS QUILT.

MANY YEARS LATER, I WAS WALKING
PAST A FANCY ANTIQUE STORE, AND

THERE IN THE WINDOW WAS A QUILT.
IT WAS JUST LIKE THE ONE SHE HAD

GIVEN ME.
AND AN ATTENDANT SAID, THIS WAS

MADE BY AN AFRICAN‐AMERICAN
WOMAN WHO WAS A FORMER SLAVE.

EACH PATCH REPRESENTED A PART OF
HER LIFE.

ONE WAS FROM THE DRESS SHE WAS
WEARING WHEN SHE FOUND OUT SHE

WAS FREE, ANOTHER WAS FROM HER
WEDDING DRESS WHEN SHE JUMPED

THE BROOM.
AND AS I WAS HEARING THIS STORY,

I BECAME SO EMBARRASSED.
HERE I WAS, A PERSON WHO PRIDES

MYSELF ON CELEBRATING OUR
HERITAGE AND CULTURE, AND I

DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE VALUE
IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S QUILT.

I DISMISSED HER WORK AND HER
STORY BECAUSE IT DIDN'T LOOK

LIKE WHAT I THOUGHT IT SHOULD.
NOW, WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT,

WE ARE ALL SEWING OUR OWN QUILTS
WITH OUR THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS,

OUR EXPERIENCES AND OUR MEMORIES.

LIKE IN MY OWN QUILT, WHEN I WAS
ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD, I REMEMBER

MY FATHER STANDING AT THE DOOR.
I WAS WONDERING WHY HE STOOD

THERE SO LONG.
HE WAS FRUSTRATED AND WALKED

AWAY.
MY MOTHER SAID HE WAS WAITING

FOR THE MAN TO PAY HIM AND HE
NEVER DID.

THEY NEEDED THE MONEY AT THE
TIME.

SHE SAID, DON'T YOU EVER STAND
BY A DOOR WAITING FOR WHITE

FOLKS TO DO NOTHING FOR YOU.
NOW, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

MY MOTHER WASN'T A RACIST.
BUT IN HER QUILT, SHE COULDN'T

IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE HER SON
WAS NOT WAITING BY THE DOOR FOR

SOMEONE.
SHE COULDN'T IMAGINE ME ACTUALLY

BUILDING MY OWN DOOR AND HOLDING
IT OPEN FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

SHE COULDN'T IMAGINE ME OWNING
LAND THAT WAS ONCE A CONFEDERATE

ARMY BASE.
WHERE THEY PLOTTED AND PLANNED

ON HOW TO KEEP BLACKS ENSLAVED.

NOW, ON THAT LAND, BLACK, WHITE,

GAY, STRAIGHT, LESBIAN,
TRANSGENDER, EX‐CONS, ALL COMING

TOGETHER TO ADD PATCHES TO A

QUILT THAT REPRESENTS DIVERSITY
AT ITS BEST.

I STAND HERE TONIGHT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE CELEBRATING AND KNOW THE
VALUE OF EVERY PATCH AND EVERY

STORY AND EVERY COLOR THAT MAKES
UP THIS QUILT THAT IS OUR

BUSINESS.
THIS QUILT THAT IS OUR LIVES.

THIS QUILT THAT IS AMERICA.
BECAUSE IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S

QUILT, THERE WERE NO PATCHES
THAT REPRESENTED BLACK PEOPLE ON

TELEVISION.
BUT IN MY QUILT, HER GRANDSON IS

BEING CELEBRATED BY THE
TELEVISION ACADEMY.

I THANK YOU FOR THIS.
