Three things happened yesterday at the 2017 Emmys with Donald Glover aka Childish Gambinoa as center of attraction;
- He made history as the first black director to win an Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series.
- He also took home his second big win of the night for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. It’s been 32 years since a person of color won this award.
- He did it wearing Gucci!
The 33 year old American actor, writer, producer, director, comedian, rapper, singer, and songwriter was nominated for his outstanding work on hit series Atlanta, which is set to return in 2018.
Donald Glover was also nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy and Outstanding Comedy Series (via Atlanta), but lost both those categories. He’s the first black actor to be nominated for all of these awards in the same damn year.
