LOS ANGELES cheap nike air force 1 high black , Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Veep" ruled this year's biggest night in U.S. television on Sunday, thanks to Emmy wins for outstanding drama and comedy series. "Big Little Lies" and "Saturday Night Live" were also big winners.

Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" was crowned best drama series, also earning Elisabeth Moss a best actress and Ann Dowd a best drama supporting actress and winning best drama directing for Reed Morano and writing for Bruce Miller. The victory is a huge win for the streaming service.

HBO's "Veep" won the Emmy Award for comedy series, while its star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, took home her unprecedented sixth consecutive win for playing fictional politician Selina Meyer. No other performer has been honored with more Emmys for a single role.

"This is and continues to be the role of a lifetime and an adventure of utter joy cheap nike air force 1 low black ," said Louis-Dreyfus when she took the stage.

In limited series category, HBO's "Big Little Lies" came out on top, winning for best series, for actors Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgard, as well as for writing and directing.

"It's been an incredible year for women in television cheap nike air force 1 black ," said costar and producer Reese Witherspoon. "Can I just say bring women to the front of their own stories and make them the heroes of their own stories. Thank you for that opportunity and for audiences to wrap their arms around us."

Nicole Kidman, who won her very first Emmy, said the project came about because of the frustration that as women "we weren't being offered great roles." "So, now, more great roles for women please," she said.

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" picked up wins for best variety sketch series cheap nike air force 1 high white , directing for seven-time Emmy winner Don Roy King and in the acting categories for Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin.

Ahmed is the first male actor of Asian descent to win an Emmy award for acting. The Good Wife's Archie Panjabi won outstanding supporting actress in a drama series in 2010.

"I want to say it is always strange reaping the rewards of a story based on real world suffering," Ahmed said in his acceptance speech. "But if this show has shown a light on some of the prejudice in our societies cheap nike air force 1 low white , xenophobia, some of the injustice in our justice system, then maybe that is something."

Sterling K. Brown won his second back-to-back Emmy for his role in the series "This Is Us" and in his speech honored Andre Braugher, who was the last black man to claim top drama performance honors, for "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1998.

BEIJING cheap nike air force 1 07 mid , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the world's largest radio telescope, celebrated its first anniversary on Monday, but its founding father was not there to enjoy the moment.

Nan Rendong, chief scientist of the FAST project, died from lung cancer at the age of 72 cheap nike air force 1 07 low , just 10 days before the celebration.

He underwent surgery after being diagnosed with the disease two years ago. As soon as he was discharged from hospital, Nan was moved to a house on the outskirts of Beijing where he could grow flowers and walk his dog.

However, the old man could not bear such an idle life, describing it as like "being in jail." Nan continued his work despite illness, invoking the spirit of his own personal motto: "Refuse to be average."

EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE

The astronomer was known to often look up at the starlit sky in the dead of night, pondering life's big questions. Who are we? Where are we from? Are we alone in the universe?

This curiosity as well as his patriotism prompted Nan to bid farewell to the good salary and world-class research environment he had while working as a visiting professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.

Nan had been in charge of FAST since 1994 cheap nike air force 1 07 high , leading the research team to work around the clock, pouring all his energy into the project.
