I'm glad that Lithgow won the emmy.  Also, on a petty note, I am glad that Mandy Patinkin did not.  He is insufferably smug (in my opinion).

It is not just you.  He is never going to get the Mr. Congeniality award from his peers or directors.

Who's reading the announcements? I know the voice, but can't place it and they kinda suck so far. 

I believe it's Jermaine Fowler from Superior Donuts? I think I read that somewhere earlier today preparing for the show...

[Macbeth]

I wanted Jeffrey Wright to win.  I think he deserved it.  It was a very complicated, non-showy role.  But I do understand why Lithgow won.

Christ, Young Sheldon looks annoying

"You enjoying show, Mr. De Nero?" :D

[jjj]

Robert DeNiro:  "I thought these were *edible* marbles"

[Ohwell]

Gina Rodriguez.  I'm sick of these cut down to the navel dresses.  

[ByaNose]

Shemer Moores pants are way tight. LOL!!!

[ebk57]

Love Kate!  But wish all 3 of them could have won.

I think older Sheldon is annoying, so I should not be surprised Young Sheldon is annoying. Then again I am not a Big Bang Theory Fan.

Yay for Kate Mckinnon!

I like Transparent, but I never think of it as a comedy.

[wallflower75]

So could someone explain to me why we got little clips for the male nominees and nothing for the females?  :( :( :(

[bmoore4026]

I don't think I could love Kate McKinnon enough

[Ohwell]

Who is this hollering fucker?

[bmoore4026]

It's the Flashdance dress

[Misslindsey]

Issa Rae looks fantastic. I am not wild about the flowers on the one sleeve, but she looks great.

[Amethyst]

Issa looks beautiful!  She's come such a long way since Awkward Black Girl.  

[Mountainair]

Not digging the announcer at all. Makes the Emmys seem less classy the way they are screaming at us!

[bmoore4026]

Oh, I wanted Jackie Hoffman to win :(

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Laura Dern!  Loved her since Jurassic Park and I'm glad she's getting recognition and better roles now.

[mtlchick]

Laura Dern is 50.  I need to look something like that when I'm 50. 

[bmoore4026]

Self Indulge much, Ms. Dern?

[chitowngirl]

Announcer guy-relax! It's going to be a long night!!

Is Reese Witherspoon that short or are those other women that tall? She looks so tiny next to them.

Yes and yes

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats Laura Dern.

[Ohwell]

WTF is this?  Is this the rapping Emmys now?  I hate this Jermaine Fowler fucker. 

[Quof]

#shutupjermainefowler

Do you think we could get it trending? 

[mtlchick]

Dear Jermaine Fowler: because of this,  I will have no need to watch Superior Donuts.  Good luck with it, but STOP YELLING AT ME. 

[thuganomics85]

Shameless CBS plug is shameless.  I wonder if they're going to take time out of the telecast to remind everyone we can watch Star Trek: Discovery ONLY on CBS Access!!!

Looks like some misguided effort to attract the "younger demographic." Beyond annoying!

Yeah, he's doing too much.  Nothing against him, and I get that he's on a CBS show, but I'm not feeling this at all.

[unicorn23]

Was it just me or did I sense a bit of tension between Issa Rae and Riz Ahmed? It seriously put a damper on my excitement at seeing her up there presenting!

Happy with John Lithgow and Laura Dern winning so far. They both deserve it.

[Misslindsey]

Announcer guy is not bothering me. It caught me off guard at first, but I feel like I am used to it. It might be the wine. I liked when John Hodgeman did it years ago.

I'd say the over/under on that is yes.

But he is hip and speaks to the young people and is quite quality

Nothing will top Anne Hathaway''s Oscar run.  I like her but THAT was nothing but indulgence during that entire season.

I loved her in that role!  So good!   But am also happy to see Laura Dern get the recognition.  (Love her dress on her, too.)

I'm into a local brewery (Blue Jacket) stout tonight.  It's helping.

It ruined Anne Hathaway for me. I loved her before, I can barely stand her now.

[vb68]

Yay to both Kate and Laura! Both amazing women.

 

What a year to be a SNL fan! It's usually hard to admit in public but not this year.

Same here. I liked her previously, but that Oscar run killed it all.

[wallflower75]

I'm about seven seconds from throwing something at my cable box.  The signal keeps cutting out on me!!  And it especially loves to do it when the winner is being announced.

But we must make sure stories like Fantine's never happen to women again

[Amethyst]

Damn, Dave always looks drunk/high.

[mtlchick]

"i also skipped rehearsal."  There's honesty for you. 

 

Dave is marveling that a black man won the Emmy that he was presenting.

Shout out to DC public schools :D

[AimingforYoko]

Yay for Childish Gambino!

[thuganomics85]

Great job reading that teleprompter, Dave!

Oh, shit!  Donald Glover is officially an Emmy winner!  Troy is moving up in the world!!!

[Misslindsey]

Yay Donald! I was rooting for him.

[wallflower75]

...maybe I wasn't missing anything when my TV would cut out as the winner was being announced.  I'm on the "shut up announcer guy" train.

[ShadowHunter]

Way to go Donald Glover also they didn't play the music. 

[Amethyst]

I think the feed is off, several speeches have been interrupted.

Good for Donald.  If any episode had spectacular directing that season, it was B.A.N.  He absolutely deserved it.
