LOS ANGELES — Egyptian American actor Rami Malek beat veterans Kevin Spacey and Liev Schreiber to scoop the Outanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy for playing a socially inept computer hacker in “Mr. Robot.”

“Oh my god. Please tell me you are seeing this too,” said a stunned Malek, 35.

Sunday’s Emmys were notable for having a record 21 nominees of color, in contrast to this year’s all-white Oscars acting lineup.

Indian-American Aziz Ansari shared a writing Emmy with Asian-American Alan Yang for their comedy series “Master of None,” while black actress Regina King won for her role in “American Crime” and African-American comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele were honored for their sketch series “Key & Peele.”

Other Emmy newcomers included Canadian Tatiana Maslany, a surprise best drama actress winner who beat out presumed front runner Robin Wright for playing a woman with multiple cloned personalities in “Orphan Black.”
