Yeah, it's a great gag concept but in execution it's rude and disruptive and not in keeping with the tone of an awards show, which is about affirming and lifting up excellence. Theoretically.

I agree. I don't like it. Some of these people may never be on an awards stage again. I hope they abandon this idea.

[scarynikki12]

Ollie! He really does have a lock on that category.

[thuganomics85]

Last Week Tonight wins, because people really like how John Oliver informs everyone that we're basically doomed each week.

Plus, New Zealand birds!

[scarynikki12]

Now Ollie asking for Mama Anderson to play him off was funny. Good thing she hadn't gone to the bathroom because he absolutely would have named every player on the team.

[ShadowHunter]

John Oliver didn't thank Adam Driver? Is that crush over lol.

Oh No it seems they are  going to do this thing with Mama Anderson all night.

This is Last Week Tonight's first time in this category - they were moved from the other category (Talk Show I think) because technically, they are not one. They don't have guests lol

[ProudMary]

Hell yeah! Move his category all you want, John Oliver's still going to win! 

And of course, he'd push the envelope to make sure Mama A. would have to heckle him offstage. ❤️

I'm tired of Anthony Anderson's mama.

1000%

That's fair.

Damn straight.

[kittykat]

So clearly the Puteketeke rented out billboards in Wisconsin to get Ollie the win Right? Right?

Yay for Ebon.  Forgot they were honoring Season one which means he's probably repeating next year.

Everythings coming up McFadyen.  Wins the throne and the trophy.

Great speech from Niecy. Glad she won.

Me too! Never saw her show on ABC but I'm kinda glad it was canceled because she's too good to be on a network procedural. Sorry, not sorry lol.

The more interesting question is who will win best talk show now?

[scarynikki12]

NORM! Love the Cheers reunion.

I liked his bit about the Pokemon cards XD. 

[thuganomics85]

I know Cheers is iconic, but I think I'm at the point where anytime I see Ted Danson now, I automatically yell "Michael!" instead.

Yeah, The Bear is sweeping.  Hopefully Bill Hader will get another crack at it because his directing really impressed me.

I hope a bunch of different people come over to give him the best place to buy them and it turns out they all recommend different places.

[kittykat]

If Review was the episode submitted that's not a surprise.

At this point the only show that could possibly beat The Bear is Abbott Elementary but they are cleaning up so far.

The reunion was great but it also reminded me that Kirstie Alley is no longer with us.

And it doesn't matter how many awards it wins, those awards are not going to make me check out The Bear.

It is amazing how many successful series that guy's been on. 

It was cute to see some of the "Cheers" cast come together :). 

[KaveDweller]

Okay, who timed it so we got a commercial for the Fraiser reboot immediately after the Cheers reunion? Good planning for them.

I would love to see a Seth Meyers win in that category. A Closer Look is comedy gold and Seth is great with his guests.

Although my subtitling brought it up as "George." 🤣

[scarynikki12]

Ken and Joel are always gold.

Every since I discovered A Closer Look during the 2020 US Elections I've been wanting Seth's show to win an Emmy.

[Phebemarie]

Can they please reclassify categories?  There’s no way The Bear is a comedy.  

[thuganomics85]

Donald Glover's grin gives off the vibe that we are witness what was a atypical day filming Community with Joel and Ken.

I know not many have Apple but I'd like to see Jon Stewart reclaim that crown.

[ShadowHunter]

Arsenio Hall. His show was the cool one to watch back in the day.

I think that was John Ratzenberger saying "Georgie" for George Wendt. 

[scarynikki12]

Olie and team again! 

[thuganomics85]

Cool that Oliver is letting one of the other writers give the speech.

[FoundTime]

First acknowledgement that there were strikes, yes?

[scarynikki12]

The Daily Show!!! Trevor and team finally win!

[thuganomics85]

That's pretty much how the Sunny gang would act if they got to the Emmys.

Hey, Trever Noah!  Good for him!

[Dirge]

The It's Always Sunny presenter were fun. 

[blackwing]

I'm finding the awards themselves to be a complete snoozefest.  I don't think there's been one surprise yet.  Everyone that was largely predicted to win has won.

Am I the only person who absolutely cannot stand Jennifer Coolidge? I was glad Mama Anderson piped up to get her ass off the stage. 

Raises hand.  I can't stand her.  I think she has zero range and she plays every single character the same way.  I will scream if they find a way to bring her back to White Lotus (as Tanya's long lost twin, or Tanya didn't really die, or it was all a dream).  I really don't need to hear her doing her all confused "whaaaaaa?" again.

40 minutes ago, scarynikki12 said:

Ebon is worthy but I was rooting hard for Phil Dunster. 

Me too.  Jamie Tartt was one of the only good things about the last season of Ted Lasso.

Was also disappointed at Jennifer's win.  If they were going to go White Lotus it should have been Meghann Fahy.

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, the censors clearly watched Ted Lasso and knew they needed the button ready for Roy "Fookin" Kent.

Beef gets its first win!

This is one of my issues with the Emmys once you get into the winner's circle you just keep winning.

This is my first time watching the Emmys live - thanks strikes and school holidays lining up perfectly - but I feel I could have just looked up the winners from 5 years ago to pick the winners and smashed them with the recent Golden Globes to pick these winners.

[ProudMary]

Yes! Let's start what I hope will be a bunch of awards for Beef!

Critics Choice last night as well. I've watched the same 3 shows win Awards in the last week and a half. 

[scarynikki12]

I like Ellen's skirt but not the top, I like Katherine's red but no the style, and I love Chandra's whole look.

[thuganomics85]

Shonda forgot to mention the ghost sex and Kyle Chandler (I think?) getting blown up by a bomb!

[chitowngirl]

Justin Chambers!

[scarynikki12]

Paul Walter Hauser is cracking me up.

Kyle Chandler and his hair.

[kittykat]

Alright Paul Walter Hauser!  Personally I thought Black Bird was better than Dahmer so glad to see it get noticed.

[scarynikki12]

Aw we don't get a Mad Men reunion?

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Jon Hamm is good but a reunion itself would have been pretty awesome.

Tough category.  Connor's Wedding was probably one of the best hour of televisions I've ever seen, but Long, Long Home was so emotional and hit every note perfectly.  I wanted a tie, dammit!

Still cool that Andor is getting nominated for things like this.

[greycoupon]

Why were they playing The X-Files theme coming back from break?  That was random.
