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

And to work for HBO. Just saying. Not than he wasn't deserving.

Boy Jane, Dolly, and Lily were great.  I hope they finally really do a sequel. I think it could be both timely and a blast.

I think tonight's Emmys will finally convince me to watch The Handmaid's Tale and even more if Elisabeth Moss wins.

I really hope she wins. She is probably the one that I am rooting for the most.

[wallflower75]

Oh look, Colbert's got Dolly's swag gift!

[vb68]

Haha Colbert with the Dolly joke. That was pretty good.

[bmoore4026]

Of course Emmy would be a camp drag queen.  It's very appropriate

[Mountainair]

Party of one here but I'm glad Dolly didn't join in on the political jokes going on. Almost looked like she gave them the side eye. She just made her usual boob jokes :)

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

I heard he's singing for the In Memorium segment.

Tracee's dress is not working for me.

I know who that is but blanking on the name, who is it?

 It's too much. Usually, she's on point.

[Misslindsey]

John Oliver!

RuPaul.

[Amethyst]

That Emmy gag was kinda dumb, sorry.

It pains me that Kaitlin Olsen (or any of the Sunny cast for that matter) has never been nominated for an Emmy.  

What is Tracee wearing?  A sequined oversized sweater?

[bmoore4026]

Hell yeah, John Oliver!

[thuganomics85]

Yay, John Oliver!  Look like a pretty good year talk show wise, but Last Week Tonight is the only one I watch religiously.

[MostlyC]

Oh Damn, I wanted Colbert or Bee to win, but it was a tough field.

[ShadowHunter]

HBO is also having a great night. 

[ebk57]

Love John Oliver.  And with a great speech!!  Play me off, please...

[Misslindsey]

Ugh the Piven.

[wallflower75]

I keep meaning to check out John Oliver during the times I subscribe to HBO Now, but I always forget!  :(

And thanking Oprah because she is there and it would be inappropriate not to.

[Eureka]

Ann Dowd was amazing, yay!

[thuganomics85]

I'm usually indifferent to Piven, but that Wisdom of the Crowd show seems to be dumb even by CBS procedural standards.

Wow, that is a surprising!  Did not see Ann Dowd taking it, but that's great!

Almost all of his show is posted to HBO's YouTube channel for free.

[Amethyst]

Wow, I thought Millie Bobbie Brown had that one in the bag.  Poor Ann seems stunned.

[bmoore4026]

Damn, Ann Dowd looks shellshocked

[Misslindsey]

Ann Dowd looks freaked out.

[wallflower75]

Ann Dowd!!!  Yaaaay!!!  She looks absolutely stunned.

(And since I thought it would be Chrissie Metz or Thandie Newton, so am I!!)

[vb68]

I didn't see that coming but good for Ann Dowd.

[MostlyC]

Congrats to Ann Dowd!

I see Jeremy is on his Redemption tour...

[ThisOne]

Shut up, Jeremy Piven. (Just because.)

[ShadowHunter]

Go Ann Dowd she really looks surprised and happy. Aww.

Pretty sure Ann Dowd did not see that coming either.

[jjj]

I kept hearing Ann Dowd was a favourite -- and yes, she was amazing in that show. 

[Arynm]

Ann Dowd! She was so great in Handmaids Tale. She doesn't even know what to do with herself.

Do - it is worth every penny of my subscription every month just for his show.

I'll be honest, I would have been happy with Sam Bee or Seth Meyers winning the award and was actually pulling for Seth because I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves.

Still - very happy for John and can't wait for him to return next week.

Thanks!  I'll check it out there.  :)

[formerlyfreedom]

Loved her turning to her husband and looking at him like, WHAT?

[bmoore4026]

Aww, I just want to hug Ann Dowd

Although she did give quite a nice, detailed speech...

[vb68]

If anybody really gets a career boost from these awards, I hope it's Ann Dowd.  She needs to work more.

[jjj]

Elizabeth Moss looks so excited - damn, I hope she gets the award.  Handmaid's Tale is doing all right, so far.

hee! Well, there might be a really good reason she won then!

I agree. Love John Oliver. And there so many great shows as well.

[ShadowHunter]

"They are very lovely Hulu" I thought that was cute. That could be become a new slogan for them.

It worked for Margo Martindale.  It can happen for Ann.

[mtlchick]

Maybe Jermaine Fowler needs to yell at Ann Dowd "THIS IS NOT A DREAM!"  (Happy for her win.) 

[Thumper]

I have not seen The Handmaid's Tale but now I want to.

Ann Dowd for the win -- most heartfelt acceptance speech.  Loved it.
