Bridget Stokes ’04 became the first Black woman to win the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series for HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show. Stokes said, “To be given this award for a show that represents Black women in front of and behind the camera is my great honor.” Stokes’s win broke Saturday Night Live’s Directing Emmy streak. SNL has won the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series for the last five years and ten times since 2010.
