The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[opus]

Conan’s there for a Norm tribute, right?

[SnarkShark]

Why is this white guy babbling about diversity?  Bad choice.

 

Why is Cosby defender Debbie Allen being honored on my screen?  She shot her righteousness in the foot herself.  RECENTLY too.

[kittykat]

I'm still used to TAR claiming this one every year so congratulations RuPaul

He was nominated earlier.

Cheesy intro too.  I wonder if some people who otherwise might have wanted to honor her didn't WANT to appear though, because of all the standing by a rapist.

I could only find articles from 2014. Thought maybe she had changed?  Can you provide more info?

For the Debbie Allen intro, the canes were a prop*

*except for Michael Douglas

Thought it was a pretty impressive intro.

Dolly Parton was among those honoring her. I'm not sure who else was supposed to be there to make it impressive?

I believe both her AND her sister Phylicia  yapped off about it being justice done that Bill got out.

Did Debbie Allen defend Cosby as well? I thought it was her sister only (who I rather not discuss.)

You believe? If you don't know for sure, why act like she's done something horrible?

[thuganomics85]

Hell yeah, Reservation Dogs getting to represent!  Love that show!

[Macbeth]

They were using the clock when Debbie Allen was speaking?  When she was winning a major award?

No.

[scarynikki12]

I love those earrings and want to know how her earlobes haven’t fallen off.

[thuganomics85]

Sweet, Queen's Gambit takes directing, so maybe this category won't be as predictable after-all.

[mojoween]

I know the original West Side Story had major issues, but I’m still not watching Spielberg’s vision.

[AimingforYoko]

Another mild upset, Queen's Gambit was in the pole position until Mare came out. This whole category is ridiculous.

[ebk57]

This guy needs to shut up.

[mojoween]

Holy cannoli is this guy really important enough to demand they stop the music? Also does he know these are TV awards, not movies?

Yeah he is starting to rant a bit now. 

[Artsda]

They waste so much time with the skits at every award presentation. They should spend less skits and give that to the winners for their speech. 

 

[SnarkShark]

Oh well.  Its already long.  Whatever.  Babble on dude.  Why not?

[shantown]

There are a very limited number of winners who shouldn't be played off... this guy isn't one of them

[mtlchick]

When the music people won’t be denied so they stop the music for a second, then turns down the music and ramps it up. 
 

And get shut down again BY THE SAME GUY. 

[thuganomics85]

I'm usually all for telling the play off music to shut it, but I'm kind of with the orchestra on this one...

[wonderwoman]

yeah — i don’t know who this guy thinks he is, but STFU!

Edited September 20, 2021 by wonderwoman

[wallflower75]

*yawn* Okay, the orchestra needs to BLARE the music to get this guy off the stage.

[MerBearHou]

But I get pissed off too when they play off the thank yous in these often-once-in-a-lifetime moments when they waste SO much time on these blasted, stupid skits.  

[FoundTime]

Okay, people know how long the have to talk before the music  kicks in, right? Why not prepare your speech to fit that amount of time?

[thuganomics85]

Patrick Stewart!!!!

Hey, surprise for Writing!

Helloooo, Sir Patrick!!

Shut! The! Fuck! Up! Debbie Allen didn't take this long. 

I heart Sir Pat Stew.

Yeah, we don’t “know” him, but this may be his only chance.  I didn’t mind it as he was very sincere.

OK, legit shocker. Happy shock, but shocker.

I could at least spell her last name right, sheesh.

Saw her interviewed on E!  Am not familiar with the show, but she is very pretty, and I love her outfit.  Sorry if that is shallow, as I have not seen the show.

For one interruption of the music, sure.  For three?

That category was stacked as hell but did. Not. See. That coming.  The miniseries awards are all over the place.

Orlando and cruise commercials?  They're actually trying to get people to go to Florida?  NOW?
