The 74th Emmy Awards were held last night in Los Angeles; 'The White Lotus,' 'Ted Lasso' and 'Succession' won some of the biggest awards while American actress Zendaya is the first Black woman to win a second Emmy for lead actress in a drama series, and the youngest two-time winner of any Emmy. Here is an incomplete yet striking gallery from this year's ceremony – and Sheryl Lee Ralph's incredible acceptance speech.
