The 70th annual Emmy Awards have started, and Saturday Night Live comedians Colin Jost and Michael Che are on hosting duties — but they didn't open the show.

That was left to an appropriately diverse cast including Kate McKinnon, Ricky Martin, Titus Burgess and RuPaul, who surprised by opening the show with a skit and song about diversity, claiming to have 'solved' Hollywood's diversity problem, before finally conceding they had a long way to go.

ACTOR'S CREEPY DISGUISE

There's been speculation about whether Atlanta star and director Donald Glover - aka Childish Gambino, of This Is America fame - turned up to the awards in a super-creepy 'whiteface' disguise.

Here's the rather odd-looking man in question:

Yo — Donald Glover has me shook 🤯#Emmys

The reason for the conjecture? That creepy looking white dude is 'Teddy Perkins', a character from Atlanta who Glover plays in whiteface.

But wait: Glover's also in the audience, looking dapper as hell. So who's the creepy Teddy Perkins dude?

Twitter exploded with all sorts of questions.

Donald Glover is gonna blow up Twitter if he wins an award tonight.
