This was Sterling K. Brown's second in a row; last year, naturally, he won for *The People vs. OJ Simpson*, which was richly deserved. NBC has to be DELIGHTED that its big hit came away with a win (well, two, if you count last weekend's statue for Gerald McRaney), given that it seemed impossible that anyone was going to beat John Lithgow, or anything associated with *The Handmaid's Tale,* in its other categories. Although if I'm being honest... as much as I enjoy a meaty Lithgow performance, Ron Cephas Jones made William Hill come to life -- and death -- in the most remarkable ways and he is the winner in my heart.
