The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[scarynikki12]

Ru!!!! And wearing a killer suit!

[vb68]

As someone who strives to avoid EVERYTHING Kardashian, let me just say

YUCK!

Aim higher Emmys.

[mtlchick]

True story; I have never watched Drag Race. However, Supermodel is still awesome 30 years later. 

[Demian]

Damn.  I was hoping that, had someone upset Julia, it would be Natasha Lyonne, because Russian Doll is fucking amazing, and it's definitely mostly because of her performance.

Now I've got to watch Fleabag.

[AimingforYoko]

OK, that Felicity Huffman shot wasn't bad.

[Mystery]

Wow that Felicity Huffman burn.

I don't know.  I'm still trying to decide.  After I stop chuckling...

[chitowngirl]

Ok-that Felicity Huffman reference is just cruel.

Yeah, she'll just have to take comfort with her (checks notes) seven Emmys, loving family, and vast personal fortune.

And most of all, good health! 

Knock wood.

It’s amazing especially season 2. 

[wonderwoman]

I think you meant "VAAAAAAAST personal fortune."  She's insanely wealthy.

[wallflower75]

Finally, I chuckle at something the announcer says.

And anyone else counting the days until The Crown is back?

[thuganomics85]

Really need to catch up on the second season of The Crown, so I can get ready for when Olivia Colman assumes the thrown (and, err, crown)!

She's probably my favorite TFB of all time.

[scarynikki12]

Gotta admit I like Allen’s suit. 

[Crs97]

The Good Place should be winning everything.  

[mojoween]

The Fisher Price ads took all my feels and ground them up into a million feels.  I miss my son as a small child playing with Little People.  I miss my childhood playing with Little People.

[Lilac2000]

I haven't been paying much attention but the Colbert/Kimmel bit was the best so far. And why did supporting actor/actress comedy get clips and lead actor/actress comedy did not?? Weird.

[LisaM]

I'm realizing why I never watch anything live. 

[thuganomics85]

Either Tim Allen was extremely nervous or he was truly afraid the audience was going to storm the stage and jump him.

[shapeshifter]

Tim Allen looks old or something 😟

But all the men's suits look so good
--maybe they're all wearing spanx?

[scarynikki12]

Is Seth Meyers doing a Game of Thrones tribute? It makes sense I’m just surprised. 

[shantown]

The millionth stupid plug for Masked Singer was too much for me. Turning it off, and I'll catch the worthy clips tomorrow. Best of luck, fellow watchers!

[galaxygirl76]

I'm incredibly bored. Winners are fine but the rest is mostly embarrassing. 

[Misslindsey]

I wish The Good Place or Brooklyn Nine Nine (especially Andre Braugher) would get more love or any love. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I'm getting a little weepy.

It should have been Leslie Jones. Just saying.

[scarynikki12]

I don’t disagree with some of the criticisms of the final season but I was completely satisfied with how it ended so I’m glad to see this special goodbye and I hope it wins again. 

[Bees52]

Finally, something I feel like paying attention too! I still love GOT.

[Misslindsey]

Unpopular opinion I was fine with the last season of Game of Thrones and fine with the ending.

[thuganomics85]

There is a lot to be said about Jon/Daenerys, but I really do enjoy Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke's real life friendship.

And the audience is showing Emilia and especially Gwedonline some love!

[wallflower75]

Oh wow, the applause that Gwendoline Christie got in that lineup...there have already been some surprises tonight.  Wonder if she'll be another one?

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Oh hey! Chernobyl! A show I actually watched!

Patricia should try going to TJ's more often, then.

[mojoween]

I may have been disappointed with the end but I will love GoT for all time.  But why is John Bradley in the audience?  He has as much right to be on the stage as Carice Van Houten.

[ebk57]

I may drink the entire bottle of wine tonight

I am glad they walked on stage as well. They deserved the goodbye. 

[Misslindsey]

Patricia Arquette was great in The Act.

I figured it's because Carice submitted her own nomination.

Or maybe that was Gwendolyn. Or both of them.

Hee! I used to watch him on The 4400.

Unpopular opinion I hate Lucy.

Me too.  Nice to find another!  

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Plllleeease let Chernobyl win.

[vb68]

"Patricia Arquette goes to the Emmy stage more than she goes to Trader Joe's."

WTF was that?

[dbell1]

Could they not fit Bran the Broken and Sam up there?

Beautiful speech by Patricia Arquette, but did the Handmaid’s Tale dress her?

[galaxygirl76]

Patricia Arquette knows how to give one hell of an acceptance speech. I believe her Oscar speech was great too. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I had glasses like Zendaya's in middle school, except they weren't cool then.

[thuganomics85]

Good for Chernobyl.  Finally saw it this weekend and it was intense as hell and insanely directed.

[scarynikki12]

I was pulling for Ava or Tommy but can’t argue for a Chernobyl win.

They both did--along with Alfie Allen.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Yay! Chernobyl actually won!
