(Reuters) – Six months after the “#Oscarssowhite” (Oscar white), which hit the awards of the cinema world’s most important, the Emmy television show a different story and a lot more colorful.

Up to 21 actors from across the spectrum of ethnic have been nominated for the Emmy this year. For the first time in the 68 year history of the highest recognition of television, men of color were nominated in the six categories of actor.

The organizers of the Emmy nominated this year to series like “Mr. Robot”, starring the egyptian actor american Rami Malek who plays a hacker socially awkward; Black-ish,” the comedy of an african-american family; “Master of None”, created by actor Aziz Ansari and his fellow screenwriter, asian american, Alan Yang; and the mini-series of FX that recreates the trial for the double murder of O. J. Simpson in 1995, seen from the prism of race relations in modern america.
