76th Emmy Awards (Sept. 2024)

[ProudMary]

I've noticed several posts in the Emmys General Discussion topic that definitely should be in a dedicated thread to the second Emmy Awards to be held in 2024, so I'm opening a thread for them here.

@BetterButter posted about Dan and Eugene Levy being named as hosts in the other thread today. That should definitely be in a dedicated thread instead of getting lost in the other topic.

This weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys will hand out more than half of the total number of Emmys, all in categories buried so deep on the ballot you’ve probably never seen anyone discussing them. But there are more than a few fascinating narratives to be found here. In order to prioritize your rooting interests, these are the 12 categories worth paying attention to.

I kept seeing articles about Creative Arts Emmy winners popping up and thought to myself Wow, when did they start handing those out in the summer?  Then it dawned on me fall is knock, knock, knocking on the season door and next month is October. 

Congratulations to all the winners. 

[ProudMary]

Bumping this up for tonight's coverage. The show itself airs at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC.

E! will begin its red carpet coverage at 6:00 p.m. Eastern. 

People magazine and Entertainment Weekly will be live streaming a red carpet show, also starting at 6 p.m. I'm embedding the YouTube link here.

 

[chitowngirl]

The Red Carpet just isn’t the same without Joan… 😢

[ShadowHunter]

It slipped my mind a few times this was on tonight. I hope we have a different Variety of winners. I'm already over The Bear winning awards. 

[ProudMary]

I don't see many chances for upsets tonight. The probable winners are as close to locks as I can ever remember.

Comedy:  Series, Directing, Writing, Lead Actor and Supporting Actor are all going to The Bear. I do love the show, and it's Season 2 that is being honored tonight, which was brilliant. Season 3, which won't be eligible until next year's Emmys, was fine but nowhere near the caliber of S2. While I think S2 is a deserving winner, a little part of me would love to see Emmy voters do something completely unexpected and honor Reservation Dogs with the award for its final season. 

Comedy Lead Actress and Supporting Actress will go to Hacks, and deservedly so. While I think Ayo Adebiri is excellent, Jean Smart is beloved and and the writers gave her a great story arc in S3. She deserves the Emmy, IMO. While I do think that Hannah Einbinder will win for Supporting Actress, it's certainly not out of the question that Meryl Streep or Carol Burnett could get some love here. I hope that doesn't happen. 

Drama: Shōgun is winning everything but Supporting Actress, where Elizabeth Debicki is a lock for The Crown. IMO, Shōgun deserves all the awards. It was the best thing I've seen all year. Magnificent. Also, it has already won 14 awards from the Creative Arts Emmys held last weekend, making it the most awarded single season of any series in Emmys history, with many more nominations tonight.

Limited Series: I'm out of my league here because I only watched Lessons in Chemistry. From what I've been reading, Baby Reindeer will dominate the Limited Series categories. Although I haven't seen True Detective: Night Country, I'm rooting for Jodie Foster. I think she's the frontrunner. An interesting thing I heard on a Gold Derby podcast the other day is that Jodie has done no publicity events at all in the lead-up to the Emmys. OTOH, Brie Larson has been everywhere. Could make that race interesting. 

It'll be a great night if you watch and love that handful of series; a boring one if not.

Three big cast reunions are expected tonight, which I will spoiler tag for those who like to be surprised.

Happy Days, Saturday Night Live, The West Wing.

Clarified single season for Shogun.

I just couldn't get into The Bear so yeah for me that makes things a bit boring lol. Baby Reindeer deserves the wins though. I still in general love watching the Awards show though. 

[buttersister]

Season 2 of The Bear deserves awards. I’m not sure Best Comedy is one of them, though. 

[MerBearHou]

Anyone watching E! Red carpet?  Joshua Jackson looks the best I can ever remember him looking — nicely done, Pacey!

Yes, he looks great. I'll never miss a chance to say Pacey was great and Dawson sucked lol.

I only made it two and a half episodes into The Bear before bailing, I hated some of the characters so much, whereas Reservation Dogs is some of the best television I've ever seen, so I'd love to see that upset, but fully expect The Bear to sweep.

I really did like The Bear, but if Rez Dogs somehow does win anything, I’m sure you’ll hear me from wherever you are. 

[ShadowHunter]

For the first time tonight I see a dress I don't like. AJA Noami King it's too puffy on the top and short in the middle and also too long at the bottom lol.

[SoMuchTV]

And I’ll just say this once and then shut up, but Abbott Elementary is a perfectly fine network sitcom. But really, has nobody seen Ghosts?

[chitowngirl]

I wish Interviewers would stop asking “What was it like working with X?”. Because now the focus is on X and not the person being interviewed and what are they going say? “She was a real shrew!””He was a total a**”?

I wish they would talk about a Red Carpet moment lol 😆 

[ProudMary]

From an overall fashion standpoint, I think tonight's carpet was a big miss. There were some looks that were nice, but nothing really wowed me.

[thuganomics85]

Aww, call me a softy but seeing Emily Hampshire's reaction to Eugene and Dan was great.  David/Stevie was the best!

[ShadowHunter]

The Bear joke was good lol. 

[thuganomics85]

Crowd seems to love Shogun.  Either that or they don't want to risk a glare from Hiroyuki Sanada!

Took them a while to find The Bear gang and kept cutting to Kimmel for some reason.  

Matt Berry definitely got a kick out of the joke.

Reservation Dogs gets its first shoutout!

[ShadowHunter]

I got to see The Penguin hand an Award to Dr.Manhatten. 

[thuganomics85]

The Levy guys are off to a pretty good start, I think, but the Only Murders trio continue to make a case for them to take a crack at it sometime down the line.

Cousin Richie/Ebon gets his second trophy that was likely a given after "Forks."  Billy Crudup winning was predicted by some, but I'm still a little surprised Shogun starts off with a loss.

[buttersister]

Wondering if the Shogun actors split votes.

Edited September 16 by buttersister

[thuganomics85]

Of cours, Carmy is the first person to get bleeped out.  Network television can't handle the heat!

Damn, The Bear got supporting actress as well!  Yeah, this is sweeping for sure.

Do you know what he said?

[slowpoked]

Ugh, if Ayo beats Jean Smart for Lead Actress, I’m out of tonight’s show.

[thuganomics85]

Elizabeth Debicki wins the trophy and continues to tower over almost everyone.

Jean Smart holds off the The Bear sweep!

Well she didn't so you are good lol.

Jean Smart is the best lol. HBO wait Max wait HBO. Yeah I don't know lol. Dumb name change indeed lol.

[slowpoked]

Hahahaha, there you go. Yay Jean! I’m a woman of my word, so I’m staying the show.

Love the short and sweet acceptance speeches, by the way

Yeah, I’m still waiting to see what the Canadians are going to do if someone goes over. 

[ProudMary]

Jean Smart is the best and I'm delighted that she won, but I'm very disappointed for Hannah Einbinder.

[KittyQ]

Is there a theme with the walk-on music? Batman, Wonder Woman? 

[MerBearHou]

The Traitors! :)

[thuganomics85]

First, it was The Amazing Race.  Followed by The Voice.  And then it was Ru Paul's Drag Race.  And now it looks like it will be The Traitors winning Best Reality for probably five more years or so.

[Kimmmmmm]

Sorry, can't stand Jean Smart, never could, but at least she kept Kristin Wiig from winning.

Yes. More meaningful.
Loved Alan Cumming's bit about thanking Holland, they must have something in the water, if we all drank it, could save the world.

I can’t stand the audience bits, either, Eugene!  

[ShadowHunter]

Antony Starr really should have been nominated and still should be nominated for The Boys.

[chitowngirl]

The camerapeople seem to be bending over backwards not to show that Martin Short is sitting next to Meryl Streep. You can see it in the long shots, but not anytime they get close.

[ShadowHunter]

Very happy for Jessica Gunning. 

Kathy Bates is another treasure. So far the presents have worked really well together.

I heard Sanford & Son...just older TV themes songs

[ProudMary]

The Batman theme made sense for Colin Farrell as Penguin premieres this week on HBO/Max.

[thuganomics85]

John Oliver continues to wrack up trophies for comedically telling us the various ways the world is spiraling out of control.

Ha!  They finally found a way to just up the play off music: inform the audience your dog passed away.  Even they aren't that heartless!

I'm so glad Maya Rudolph is gonna be on SNL a ton this year because of Kamala Harris. I've missed her so much!
