#ManCrushMonday: The 69th Annual Emmy Awards

Last night's 69th Annual Emmy awards was certainly stand out. From the musical numbers to Stephen Colbert just being Stephen Colbert in all of his charming ways, to the unfortunate appearance of Sean Spicer (why, y'all?).

We have seen so much talk of the gals, the gowns, the melanated red carpet (shout out to Issa Rae for her expert analysis of every Black person watching anything ever where other Black people get nominated for stuff.) But its Monday, and here on The Reclaimed, the men run the show (mostly) on Mondays.

Here were some of my personal favorite menswear and man crushable moments:

First, cannot even start without talking about Stephen Colbert and Chance the Rapper's Opening Number:


Sandwiched between the hilarious (and scarily true) whimsical lyrics Stephen Colbert sang and all of the cameos and culture references, there was a great woke PSA from a mainstay in my ManCrushMonday's, Mr. Chance the Rapper saying:

"Yo, Stephen, what a beautiful segue. Let me take over. I can make some headway. 
I love television, it’s a pleasant distraction, but just imagine taking action. 
I like Brooklyn Nine-Nine; in fact, I’m addicted. But where’s the cop show where one gets convicted? 
I miss the classics. I still think MASH rocks, but, if Hawkeye can be a soldier, why not Laverne Cox?
Bob’s Burgers makes you smile, but please don’t ignore the decline of the independent family-run store. 
I get it. The finales, they got you focused. Just record the show and try to show up at the protest, ya heard?"

Woke.

We cannot talk about the Emmy's without talking epic style moments. The boys from Stranger Things always lock it down as individuals and as a squad. Last night, these gents definitely didn't disappoint:

And then there was history maker himself, the only Donald we acknowledge, Mr. Donald Glover, who became the first African American to win an Emmy for outstanding directing in comedy for his show, Atlanta.

Congrats to all of the nominated and to the winners.
