9 Times the 2016 Emmys Celebrated Diversity

Not only was Rami Malek's win for his role as Elliot in Mr. Robot profoundly deserved, but it was history-making. His win marks the first time the Emmys has had a nonwhite best actor in a drama in 18 years since Andre Braugher won for Homicide: Life on the Street in 1998. "I play a young man who is, like so many of us, profoundly alienated,” the Egyptian actor said during his acceptance speech. "I want to honor the Elliots. There’s a little bit of Elliot in all of us."
