Procter & Gamble and BBDO's beautifully made spot about race, "The Talk," has added to its already impressive haul of awards by picking up the 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial.
The ad beat out four other finalists: Amazon's "Alexa Loses Her Voice," Apple's "Earth: Shot On iPhone," Monica Lewinsky' anti-bullying spot "In Real Life," and Tide's "It's a Tide Ad" (another P&G effort).
"The Talk" also won three gold Clios this year, along with three silvers and a bronze.

"'The Talk' being recognized across the industry by the Academy, Clio, Cannes, Effie and numerous other prestigious organizations is testament to the power of telling real stories about real people," a rep for P&G tells Muse in a statement. "It also reinforces the opportunity for brands to use our voice to be the courageous change we want and need in the world. We're humbled that 'The Talk' sparked dialogue, opened hearts and changed minds."
