At Sunday night's Emmys, there were historic winners, and one shocking appearance from a former White House staffer.
The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Stephen Colbert, took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
There were quite a few surprises, starting with the appearance of Sean Spicer, making the ceremony more interesting to watch than usual. "Atlanta," "Big Little Lies," and "The Handmaid's Tale" got some big wins, proving that diversity and great roles for women work, and resonate with people, including Emmy voters.
From Spicer to Ann Dowd to Donald Glover making history, these are the biggest surprises at the 2017 Emmy Awards:
Sean Spicer showed up for some reason.
During Stephen Colbert's opening monologue, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer took the stage, shocking everyone in the audience including Melissa McCarthy.
Laura Dern won outstanding supporting actress in a limited series.
Dern wasn't the favorite to win in the outstanding supporting actress in a limited series category, but she started the "Big Little Lies" winning streak with her win early on in the night. This was Dern's sixth nomination since 1992, and her first win.
Ann Dowd won outstanding supporting actress in a drama for her role on "The Handmaid's Tale."
Dowd literally couldn't believe she won when her name was announced. A lot of people were expecting Chrissy Metz to win the Emmy in this category for her work on "This Is Us," which might be why Dowd was so surprised to win.
