The Bravo series is shot in Toronto, Hamilton and Cambridge, Ont.. Sterling K. Brown, whose role in This Is Us earned him the top drama series actor trophy, paid tribute to the last African-American man to win in the category, Andre Braugher in 1998 for his role as a police detective in Homicide Life on the Street. Go home, get to work, we have a lot of things to fight for, producer Bruce Miller said in accepting the best drama trophy for A Handmaid's Tale, which also won best drama writing and directing awards and a best actress trophy for Elisabeth Moss.
