ENTERTAINMENT - Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson Make Emmy History

Apparently Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson have made Emmy "history" because it is the very first time that two ladies of color have been nominated for the Outstanding Lead  Actress In A Drama Series at the same time. This should not be a big deal....it's a pity that it is - both shows were created by people of color. If this was not the case there would be no Emmy history to report in the first instance. The Emmys are disgracefully light years away from The Oscars.

Congrats to Viola and Taraji for outstanding work.
