Teddy Perkins Showed up to the Emmys and We’re Confused
At the 2018 Emmys, there was a surprise cameo in the form of one Teddy Perkins, from Season 2 of FX's Atlanta.
Darius (Lakeith Stanfield), meets the eccentric recluse while looking to purchase a classic piano. Perkins' strange appearance and mannerisms had many fans wondering who was underneath all of that makeup. Shortly after the episode aired, we learned that it was none other than series creator Donald Glover.
While we won't spoil all of the crazy scenarios that Darius and Teddy get into in that particular episode, it appears that the strange character made his way to TV's most prestigious night. Once again, social media is wondering who might be playing Teddy this time around. Is Donald reprising his role or is it someone new?
Thandie Newton Wins First Emmy for Westworld
Thandie Newton won her first Emmy Award for her scene-stealing role as Maeve Millay in Westworld at the 2018 Emmy Awards ceremony.

"I’m so blessed... to work with the people I’ve gotten to work with: the cast and crew of Westworld, I love you all so much, Lisa Joy, Jonah Nolan, Home Box Office, J.J. Abrams, our guardian angel."
This is Westworld's first win of 2018; the show was nominated for 13 awards, including Best Drama. The HBO series scooped four Emmys at the 2017 ceremony in technical categories (Sound Mixing, Makeup, Hairstyling and Visual Effects), but this is the show's first win in a major category.
