The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[bmoore4026]

Jeez, announcer dude, don't be so enthusiastic.

And Alec Baldwin is a damn prince.

[ShadowHunter]

Its been a great night for SNL.

[vb68]

Hee. Alec won!

People said SNL couldn't go four for four in acting races, but it did.  I'm giddy.

[jjj]

"Mr. President, *here* is your Emmy."  BWAHHHHH!

Alec Baldwin!  Let the tweets begin!!!!!

Oh you know the "overrated" tweet will happen.

[Macbeth]

Westworld didn't win.  Boo.  I haven't seen A Handmaid's Tale.  No Netflix, but I am a Margaret Atwood fan - so I am conflicted.

But I loved the skit.  That was really good.  I admit - I do love Stephen Colbert - even if he is on CBS.

It's on Hulu, actually.  What?  I'm anal

[KaveDweller]

It seems weird that SNL actors are in the same category as actors on drama/comedy series. I haven't noticed it in the past, but I guess this year was a strong one for SNL so they have more actors nominations than usual.

Hopefully it will win for Best Drama.

Oh, *there's* the loud announcer. 

[ebk57]

Looks like they're gonna do a number from Chicago.  

(based on costumes shown during the break.  I have no inside knowledge.  I really have no knowledge at all)

Between Stephen, Spicey,  and Alec, they've really been egging Trump on for a tweet.  I wonder if we will get a convfefe moment tonight.

[mustbekarma]

I'm loving the Emmy's this year. It helps I have actually watched some of the shows this year.

[Misslindsey]

Westworld was just meh to me. I did not love it or hate it. It was just there.

That was great

[thuganomics85]

Hope these accountants saw the Oscars and know what NOT to do.

[MostlyC]

I like Alexis' dress.

But noot her delivery from the cue-cards.

[Misslindsey]

I am so happy Alexis won for The Handmaid's Tale. She was so good.

I'm here more for the dramas than comedies.

She did?  Was that from a pre-television award ceremony?  And Gerald Mcraney?

9 to 5 nicee.

Playing someone off should be banned unless they're going over five minutes

[wallflower75]

A 9 to 5 reunion!!  *cheers*

[ebk57]

Oh my -  Dolly, Lilly and Jane!! Those ladies look terrific!!!

Yup. I think they won either last weekend or the previous for Handmaid's Tale and This is Us.

Loving these women!

[thuganomics85]

I so can't wait to see Trump freak out and claim these three awesome women are "overrated."

[AimingforYoko]

Not to be catty (checks previous comments) Ok, to be catty, how much combined work in dollar value do you think is standing together right now?

[jjj]

Whatever Jane Fonda has had done -- well, she looks amazing on my little screen.  Hurrah, reunion!!!

[MostlyC]

Jane is so high.  It's great to see those 3 women.

[wallflower75]

If I hadn't loved Dolly Parton before this, I would now!!!  *dies laughing*

Looks like Big Little Lies is pretty much going to clean up tonight.

[thuganomics85]

OH, shit, Skarsgard!  Eric from True Blood is an Emmy winner!  It's good to be a Skarsgard!

[mtlchick]

Oh show. When Jane and Lily start going off on political tangents, Dolly makes a boob and vibrator joke to balance things out.

Love, love, love this dress. IMHO a  big improvement over what she wore to the Creative Emmy show.  

http://www.eonline.com/photos/22262/creative-arts-emmys-2017-red-carpet-arrivals/792185

And yes, she did seem wooden. But I think she's basically a very shy person. 

[ShadowHunter]

Omg Alexander Skarsgard! Good for him. Loved him durning True Blood.

[CherryMalotte]

Dolly could make a burlap sack look wonderful, because she's such a nice lady.  They all look really great.

[AimingforYoko]

Looks like Big Little Lies is going to have a big night. A good week to be a Skarsgard.

[cmahorror]

I loved Big Little Lies so I am so happy for all the love it is getting. I am really rooting for Nicole Kidman for best actress - her performance was absolutely devastating.

[Misslindsey]

Chris Jackson!!!! I cannot wait to hear him sing. He better be singing. I love his voice.

"Thanks, guys. 'Bye"  Awww :3

[mtlchick]

(and from earlier...) JEAN MARC! VIVE LE QUEBEC!

[cincivic]

So happy to see Gerald McRaney get some well earned recognition.

She certainly is an extremely *private* person -- and yes, shy.

Wait - I missed Chris Jackson??? Boo me.

What was he doing?

[Macbeth]

I didn't like the director of Big Little Lies referring to the women as girls.

But I did enjoy his shout out to David Kelley - I am a big fan of Michelle and that was a nice moment between them.

Oh I always loved Lily Tomlin.  Go Lily!

I know I am 10 minutes behind as always.

Alexander Skarsgård's speech was adorable. I'm shocked that he won, but I think it's pretty safe to say that Big Little Lies will win everything else it's up for. Really bummed that Nicole or Reese will end up losing since they're up against each other.

Alexis Bledel being an Emmy winner. I still can't believe it. I think tonight's Emmys will finally convince me to watch The Handmaid's Tale and even more if Elisabeth Moss wins.

No you did not miss him. Apparently he is coming up and I am unsure what he is doing.

[Paws]

I guess it shows what a good job Skarsgaard did in that show when I screamed at him not to touch Nicole Kidman when he walked up to get that award. God, he was so terrifying.

Whew...  thanks!
