Matthew Rhys won both the best lead actor in a drama and comedy categories at the 78th Emmy Awards ceremony held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. This makes him the first male performer to win across all three lead acting categories. Rhys, who is 51 years old and originally from Wales, expressed gratitude towards his family and praised Wales as "a small but mighty nation." He won for his roles in Apple TV’s "Widow's Bay" and previously for FX’s "The Americans," earning him a total of three Emmys on the same night.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
