In a classy, touching tribute, the Television Academy honored the artists that we lost in the past year with an 'In Memorium' segment that featured videos and pictures of television pioneers and icons.

Tony-winner Frances McDormand won the 2015 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayal of the title character in OLIVE KITTERIDGE. The series won six awards tonight, more than any other show, so rather than repeating all of the thank yous that her colleagues had already given out, McDormand kept it short and sweet.

It's time to look at the multi-faceted career of Alan Cumming. Known for his his iconic Tony Award winning performance in Sam Mendes' 1993 revival of CABARET as the Master of Ceremonies as well as many other memorable roles, Cumming has come into his own as one of the stars of CBS's smash hit, THE GOOD WIFE.

Emma Thompson is one of the most celebrated British actresses of her generation. Not only is she noted as an actress, but she is also recognized as a comedian, screenwriter, author and activist. From her beginnings as a member in the Footlights troupe alongside Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, Thompson's credits and filmography have exploded, as well as her presence as a stage-performer. On the upcoming 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards, Emma Thompson is nominated for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her work in SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.

Jessica Lange is considered one of the greatest actresses of her generation. As the recipient of several awards, including two Oscars, three Emmys, five Golden Globes, one SAG award and three Dorian Awards, and now nominated to take home her fourth Emmy for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for Elsa Mars on AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW, it is no question that Lange has proved her acting abilities since her professional film debut in 1976's KING KONG.

Listen up, fives. A ten is nominated at this year's Emmy Awards. Yes, that's right.

This time around, she's nominated for her hilarious portrayal of Jacqueline Voorhees on Netflix's UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT. 

Elisabeth Moss is one of my favorite actresses on television. But as the theatre community does with any famous person who has stepped even a toe on the stage, we claim Moss as our own.

If you took a poll just a year or two ago asking people if they knew who Uzo Aduba was, I'm fairly certain that only a select group of Godspell-loving Broadway buffs would be able to answer that question with a confident 'yes.' If you were to take that same poll today, however, the answer would likely be quite different, thanks to a little show called ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Oh, how quickly things change in Hollywood!
