UPDATE:
Donald Glover just keeps winning! He just won for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Atlanta. The actor said in his speech, "I'm so happy. Thank you so much! This is nuts. I really want to thank the Academy again — everybody in here, you guys, I love you. I want to thank my mom and my dad again. I want to thank the city of Atlanta." He also added, "I want to thank Trump for making Black people number one on the most oppressed list. He's the reason I'm probably up here." Well, damn. We are sure Trump will be Tweeting soon.
