The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Misslindsey]

At first I somewhat liked putting each category in a different part of the show, but it gets kind of old when a show basically sweeps it all.

[Mystery]

I was looking up Barry so I know that's HBO if it helps!

One thing I wish some of these shows would announce what network/streaming service they can be found...like Barry or Atlanta....I have Netflix, Hulu and CBS All Access...just want to know...

Barry is on HBO and Atlanta is on FX.

Merritt Wever?  Wasn't expecting that.

Judging from that Black Mirror clip, the ending of The Avengers: Infinity War caused Shuri to go off the deep end!

[vb68]

Oopsie on that name pronouncing Mr. Legend.

[Amethyst]

Damn, I was rooting for Leticia.  Your time will come, girl!

Also, these skits are terrible.

I love Maya.  I've never gotten Fred.  I'm really not enjoying them tonight.

[Quickbeam]

This Maya Fred bit is so unfunny. 

[Archery]

"Oh, my GOD, you won the EGOT! We GET IT!"  Every wife everywhere.  And then, "Thank you, Jesus..." so funny.

[vb68]

Merritt actually said a whole lot compared to the first time she won. 

[thuganomics85]

So, apparently voters really like this Godless show, huh?

[scarynikki12]

I’m just now catching up. I haven’t seen MMM but I haven’t forgiven the Palladinos for the way they derailed Gilmore Girls back in the day so I boo. 

Happy for the Fonz and Hader though. 

On the fashion front I have to say my ideal BFF Tiffany is my favorite.

Wasn't it "Thank you - I've got to go..."

Ditto.   And to see this will be a running gag tonight is going to kill the nice pace they've had otherwise.

I love her.  I guess I should watch her show... 

[Frost]

This is so painful!  The "jokes" are flat, the "banter" is lame, and the speeches are boring.

[Amethyst]

Constance is the third woman I’ve seen wearing platform heels.  Must be a trend this year.

My phone is crazy today!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I'm going to pretend Jeff Daniels won for The Looming Tower instead, since I really liked that show, but I haven't seen Godless.

[childeroland]

It's pretty great.

[MostlyC]

Yay for Jeff Daniels.   #WillMcAvoy

[Mystery]

Does anyone but me imagine that Fred Armisen has to say "You good? You good?" in all kinds of situations?

[thuganomics85]

Hey, that got Bob Odenkirk to present now, so he can run off the stage watch his actual show on AMC at 9:00 p.m.!

That Black Mirror episode looks amazing!  Jesse Plemons and Jimmi Simpson in a Star Trek-like thing?!

[Nordly Beaumont]

Oh man - I am loving how many shows/people I'm rooting for are winning! Loved USS Callister!

I'm noticing more and more that the various winners really seem to correspond to which shows/movies are the favorites.

So far nothing I’ve watched has won anything. It’s a weird feeling but I’m still hopeful for Darren Criss.

It is amazing! (Sadly, the it's the only one I liked in season 4, but I've watched it at least five times)

Yes I adored Jimmi Simpson on Westworld.

[Macbeth]

I loved Jeff Daniels speech. That was entertaining. 

SNL. Please take note for all of our sakes.

To be fair, I haven't seen anything that has won in this last segment, but they must be incredible because every single actor that was nominated for Versace last to them, and they were all incredible. I am really rooting for Darren Criss.

Jesse Plemons looked...rough in the audience.  Facial hair does not suit him.

Yes. I thought Versace was very good.

Happy for Jeff Daniels -- funny speech.

OMG, Betty looks amazing!!!!!

[mtlchick]

BETTY FUCKING WHITE.  

[scarynikki12]

Kate McKinnon cracks me up. 

And Betty still looks smashing. I adore her. 

[Nordly Beaumont]

Why am I getting teary eyed just watching Betty White walk onto a stage?

[Bees52]

So far, seeing Betty White here has been my favorite moment.

[scarynikki12]

They absolutely should kiss the ring. Betty gets it. 

[Frost]

OMG.  I think Betty White is having a stroke, live on television.  I've loved her over the years, but this is kind of a pity.

[vb68]

Betty still has it. The best comic timing in the business.

[Thumper]

Wait.  I think Betty's rambling a bit.  I admire her, but not following.

[ebk57]

She is a national treasure.  Still sharp and funny and fantastic.

Naw, she's just being 96. My mom talks the same way and she's "only" 86.
 

[scarynikki12]

Yes!!! I’m here for everything American Crime Story. The Versace season was excellent.

Find it.  Watch it.

Yay for Ryan Murphy -- good series (Versace)!

Judith Light looks amazing in her yellow dress!

My sister and I chalked it up for her being overcome with emotion at the love.  She did ramble a bit but she hit her lines. 

[scarynikki12]

Wow he really was shocked. He did well though. 

[ShadowHunter]

Nice speech from Ryan Murphy. 

[scarynikki12]

Leslie and Rupaul?? Be still my heart. 

[scarynikki12]

And I’m in love with Leslie’s suit.
