Barack Obama Wins An Emmy!

Obama won an Emmy.

Washed Up 45 is hated by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The current president had warned thar the washed up politician and Republicans are becoming a danger to democracy. 

President Joe Biden will host former president Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama this week for their unveiling of their White House portraits.

He will also congratulate his former boss on his Emmy win.

Obama won the best narrator Emmy for his work on the Netflix documentary series, "Our Great National Parks."

The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, "Higher Ground."

He was the biggest name in a category full of famous nominees for the award handed out at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong'o.

When they go low, we go higher.

Obama is the second president to have an Emmy. Dwight D. Eisenhower was given a special Emmy Award in 1956.

Obama previously won Grammy Awards for his audiobook reading of two of his memoirs, "The Audacity of Hope" and "A Promised Land." Michelle Obama won her own Grammy for reading her audiobook in 2020.

EGOT refers to a special category of entertainers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. To date, 17 people have done it.

The late Chadwick Boseman also won an Emmy for his voice work on Saturday. The "Black Panther" actor won for outstanding character voiceover for the Disney+ and Marvel Studios animated show "What If...?"

On the show, Boseman voiced his "Black Panther" character T'Challa in an alternate universe where he becomes Star-Lord from "Guardians of the Galaxy."

It was one of the last projects for Boseman, who died in 2020 of colon cancer at age 43.

Obama has not won a Tony or an Oscar award. He has won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
