The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Misslindsey]

Yessssss! Matthew Rhys!

[mtlchick]

Confession time: no interest in watching the new Queer Eye at all.  

 

The Americans winning stuff?  Iiiiiiiinteresting. 

[BW Manilowe]

Matthew freaking won!

[scarynikki12]

Please please please let this mean Keri is going to win. 

[mojoween]

Oh Lordy I absolutely LOATHE the facial hair on the guy from Queer Eye on the end.  It looks painted on and I hate it.

I don’t know about you guys but I am shocked at Matthew Rhys.  Perhaps because I've never seen “The Americans” but I thought Sterling or Milo had this in the bag.

So that's what Matthew Rhys sounds like!

I was rooting for Milo but I'm happy with this. It's been long overdue for the cast and crew of The Americans.

[ebk57]

OMG, this is so exciting!!!  I love Matthew so much! (and I sound like a fan-girl - how embarrassing... )

[vb68]

Thrilled for Matthew Rhys! Never thought it would happen!

Let's GO, Keri!

[scarynikki12]

I love that Milo and Sterling not only stood for Rhys but seemed genuinely happy for him. 

[Macbeth]

Yes!!!!  Matthew!!

Good job in hiding your British accent.

But you were always a talented spy. 

[Misslindsey]

I loved Matthew Rhys in The Americans. I love him more in The Wine Show. Matthew and wine. Two of my favorite things.

[Mountainair]

I've been wondering if I should watch The Americans or not. My brother said good things about it. I might check it out. Sad Milo or Sterling didn't win though. 

[thuganomics85]

And it is Claire Foy!  I haven't seen the second season of The Crown yet, but I loved her in the first one, so I'm glad she got one since they'll be switching the cast out next season.

[statsgirl]

Not six diverse characters -- Tatiana Maslany had eight all by herself.

[truthaboutluv]

Thought it was going to be Sandra Oh and bummed for Keri but damn Claire is amazing on The Crown.

[mojoween]

Sarah Paulson looks super foxy in that dress but it makes her look short.

[irisheyes]

Yay!!! I love Claire Foy in The Crown!

[scarynikki12]

I think we jinxed Keri. Claire is excellent though. 

[Misslindsey]

I would have been fine with any of the women winning. Nice to see Claire get some love.

[Mystery]

"I will punch you clean in the mouth," awesome

I have never heard his own accent!  Yummmm!

So happy for Claire Foy too.  Loved "The Crown."

[scarynikki12]

Please tell me that’s Sandra’s mom. She’s adorable and I want to put her in my pocket. 

[vb68]

So what is the favorite now for Best Drama?

I didn't expect Handmaid's Tale to get shut out of the big ones tonight, especially acting.

[statsgirl]

I wanted Sandro Oh (who brought her mother? in traditional Koren dress) or Tatiana Maslany to win but there's a rightness to Claire Foy winning after Matt Smith got more money.

Yes! It's so good! But don't be me and think there are 7 seasons when there are only 6.

[Mystery]

Sandra Oh did bring her parents, I saw them interviewed on the carpet together.

Yes she took her parents, they were adorable on the red carpet!

He’s Welsh, actually.

 

Darn, I was rooting for Sandra Oh. And her mum is indeed adorable!

It’s specifically a Welsh accent. And he also hid it for 5 years, when he played Kevin, the gay lawyer son, in Brothers & Sisters.

[Archery]

The advertising folks at NBC are on it. They pop in the trailer for whatever project the winner has going on immediately, the very next commercial break.  

[Mountainair]

Thank god for that vintage Emmy footage. It's been 70 years! Rather than mention 1949 over and over again show us some history- not Maya and Fred history but real Emmy history. 

[vb68]

I'm mean. I keep hoping for a little Fred Armisen/Elisabeth Moss interaction. Heh.

[Frost]

The Fred and Maya bit was limp to start with and didn't get any better with each appearance.

Mary and the WJM gang!

[scarynikki12]

Rick and Morty are way more interesting than every reality show. 

[thuganomics85]

Rick and Morty need to host next year.

[scarynikki12]

Still plenty of love for RuPaul despite my hate for reality tv. 

[ebk57]

Rick and Morty are very dark and very funny.

Last night all I had on was football so it would have been easier to switch back and forth.

As long as NBC has the Emmys and Sunday Night Football, the Emmys will be on Monday night.  I believe they rotate so next year it'll be back on Sundays.

I was hoping for Brian Tyree Henry or Kenan. I am pleased for Henry though.

I'm pleased for Henry too but I would have loved Brian as well--although he was more lead this season and Donald more supporting.

Henry Winkler gave a good speech. 

I especially loved how he signed off at the end telling his kids to go to bed.  His kids are adults so it really must have been an old speech.

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. 

I think part of it might have also been not being able to read the teleprompter so she was going off of her memory.  You could tell that failed her a little bit but overall she was still pretty sharp.

Leslie Jones should be at every proposal. 

Oh that reaction was terrific.  It's a big reason I'm a fan of her.  I didn't love her suit in the audience but it was kick ass under the lights.

I apologize for reacting to very old posts but I finally caught up.  Quickly---yay for Matthew Rhys, yay for Winkler and Hader, yay for Ru Paul (even though I don't watch that show)

Only the 2 for Margo, none for Writing until tonight! 

I stand corrected. Thank you.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Mmm, Phil Keegan. 

[vb68]

Loved seeing Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones cheering for Rupaul and Drag Race.

[ebk57]

Shout out to therapy and medication!! 

 

Yay SNL!!!!!!!!

[scarynikki12]

I enjoy Neal Brennan. 

[scarynikki12]

I’d prefer Drunk History but I knew SNL had this. 

[Sugar]

SNL has really gone downhill, so I can't root for them. Portlandia and Drunk History are both funnier, smarter, and more entertaining to watch.

[vb68]

For all the impressions and stories people tell about being intimidated by him, Lorne is actually gracious.

[scarynikki12]

The Talk Show category. NEVER MAKE ME CHOOSE!!

[thuganomics85]

Hey, Eric Bana!  Haven't seen you in ages.

And John Oliver keeps racking up those trophies.  Good for him!
