The dramatization of O.J. Simpson's sensational 1995 double murder trial looks set to sweep Sunday's Emmy Awards, crowning an extraordinary year for American television and actors of multiple ethnic hues. As television enjoys a golden era, with more than 400 scripted series on offer, people of color were nominated this year in every leading actor category for the first time in the 68-year history of the Primetime Emmys, the highest honors in television. How many of them will go home with an Emmy on Sunday depends on whether members of the Television Academy will reward new talent, or go for sentimental favorites at the ceremony in Los Angeles.
