The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[ShadowHunter]

I don't like Cynthia Erivo's dress. The bottom looks like a peacock lol.

[KaveDweller]

I think this guy on E! has told everyone he's talked to that they are "iconic".

Someone in twitter said it looks like a toilet bowl cleaner.  I die.  LOL.  I admit she is on my irrational dislike list.

Elizabeth Olsen's fans are going gaga over her look, but her dress makes her look like  she is about to be baptized in the river any minute, imo.

That is funny 😄 

[kittykat]

And Emma Corrin is going to be the one who performs the baptism.

Right?  She is serving some Goody Proctor realness.

As much as we skate Giulianna every year - there’s a skill to making red carpets look non stressful that her and Ryan Seacrest can pull off. This new guy - not so much. I can feel his stress anytime the camera pans to him.

[Thumper]

Crud!  I missed most of it!   Has E! been broadcasting the red carpet for hours?

[shapeshifter]

I missed it too so am looking online. Kaley Cuoco's yellow gown is fab, but...
Seriously The New York Times? You are paying someone who either is color blind or color ignorant to do your live blog of the Emmy Red Carpet????

[Avabelle]

You didn’t miss much. 
 

I feel like they’re interviewed nobody.

[scarynikki12]

Watching tv with grandma is definitely an important life ritual. I watched many episodes of I Love Lucy with mine.

[ShadowHunter]

This looks like a nice atmosphere and the room looks good. Glad it's not a zoom show.

[scarynikki12]

They’re having fun which good for them but this is cringe.

[ShadowHunter]

Seth Rogen is annoying.

[shapeshifter]

Aw. That song. 😭

[galaxygirl76]

Not feeling this opening.

[wallflower75]

Awww...the song!  Some of it was pretty yikes, but it looks like they were having fun!

[Thumper]

I liked the audience participation in the song — looked like they were having fun. I wasn’t sure if that was Rita Wilson or Cheryl Crow! 😜😂

[scarynikki12]

I kind of love the orange on Seth. 

[shantown]

A cheesy opening, but isn't that the point? At least everyone seemed into it and like they were having fun!

[scarynikki12]

Time for my annual “SNL cast shouldn’t be nominated with traditional shows!!!” rant.

Yay Ted Lasso!

[galaxygirl76]

Seth look great!

[AimingforYoko]

Nice tribute to the Biz. 

If Hannah hadn't won it really would have been a shame (shame, shame, shame).

[wallflower75]

Yay!!  I love love love Hannah Waddingham in Ted Lasso.

If SNL wasn't nominated Network TV would have really no nominations.

[thuganomics85]

Ted Lasso gets its first win.  I'm sure Hannah Waddingham is great in it, but I'm still going to always remember her first as Septa Unella from Game of Thrones ("Shame!  Shame!")

[mojoween]

I don’t have Apple TV+ so the Ted Lasso phenomenon has missed me, but I am irrationally glad for the lady who won supporting actress over the SNL ladies.

[mtlchick]

Just A Friend was cheesy, sort of a mess but people were having fun singing it so I can’t hate on it. Never thought I would see Rita Wilson rapping along side LL Cool J but hey, 2021. 

[phalange]

Fun opening.

Yay for Hannah Waddingham! She’s so excited, aww.

*checks Bingo card* Yeah that one was missing on mine too.

[DollEyes]

The opening number was a little cheesy, but since it was a Biz Markie tribute, I'll let it slide.

[kittykat]

Hahaha glad I'm not the only one who yelled SHAME!  Congratulations to Hannah Waddingham.

[Thumper]

I’d like to see “Ted Lasso,”but I don’t think we have Apple TV.

[KaveDweller]

It always seems strange that the SNL performers are in the same category as actors on regular series. It is such a different kid of acting.

[mtlchick]

Ted Lasso is already setting up to be the Schitt’s Creek of this season.

[ShadowHunter]

I'm not getting another streaming service. I have so many as it and it feels like it's not enough. Not getting another one. Sorry Ted lol.

[galaxygirl76]

It's a crime that Andre Braugher will never win this category for B99.

[AimingforYoko]

Ted Lasso's gonna win a few of these. Good on Brett. Not bad for a hologram.

[thuganomics85]

Hey, Supporting Actor goes to the Ted Lasso guy that had to swear that he was an actual human being and not CGI!

[scarynikki12]

Ted Lasso starting to clean up. Any chance we could get a tie with Hacks for Best Comedy series?

[wallflower75]

They told him not to curse, so of course that's where he starts, LOL

[DollEyes]

Yara Shahidi looks like a young Dorothy Dandridge.

First, Hannah, then Brett? Calling it now: Ted Lasso's gonna sweep.

Agree.  I loved the Lasso actress’s speech, but I also love Aidy, Cecily, and Kate.

[kittykat]

I've heard nothing but great things about Ted Lasso.  The comedy series category is all over the place but it's looking good for them so far.

[wallflower75]

OK, that last bit with the DJ was a bit annoying.

[SnarkShark]

The good: Roy Effing Kent won!   Whoo!

The bad: The show already feels long.

The ugly: I wish Reggie Watts would just shut up.

[truthaboutluv]

As I said on another board yesterday, I could recap tonight's show before it even aired - Ted Lasso is going to sweep the Comedy categories and The Crown is going to sweep in the Drama categories.

There you go, night complete. And these first two awards are not convincing me I was wrong. 

[phalange]

Brett Goldstein! I’m so happy for the Ted Lasso cast. They deserve all the wins.

My impression is that Reggie is supposed to be some kind of genius, but I've never enjoyed him. OTOH, squeeing at the Survivor ad!

[SnarkShark]

Yeah, make it even SLOWER by introducing Ceddy over and over.
