'SNL' hosts Rudolph, Chappelle win guest actor Emmy honours

Claire Foy, Courtney B. Vance, Maya Rudolph and Dave Chappelle won guest actor Emmys at Sunday's creative arts awards ceremony.

On the drama series side, Foy was honoured for "The Crown" and her reprisal of Queen Elizabeth II, the role that won her a lead actress Emmy in 2018. Vance won for his part in "Lovecraft Country," which was cancelled after one season. Rudolph and Chappelle earned comedy series guest acting trophies as hosts of "Saturday Night Live." For Rudolph, it was a repeat of her victory in the category last year, also for "SNL." In the short-form comedy or drama series, the winners were J.B. Smoove for "Mapleworth Murders" and Keke Palmer for "Keke Palmer's Turnt Up with the Taylors." All the awards, except for that earned by Foy, went to Black actors. While that appeared to signal a trend toward diversity for this year's Emmys, the guest actor awards have proved more inclusive than the top acting honours in recent years.
