The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Neeners]

I don't think Transparent is a comedy, either.

My mouth dropped

On what planet was that remotely amusing??

Even the audience were like "Seriously?"

[thuganomics85]

Man, was that Cosby bit a bad, bad idea.

Jeffery Tambor is going to be like Julia, where he will keep winning this, as long as he is eligible to be nominated.

[ebk57]

Call me Jeff Bezos

 

That was funny

Maybe they could switch Transparent to the drama category?

[mtlchick]

Reality category: officially the "one and done"? 

 

I guess the reign of the Amazing Race is over.  It's entering its twilight years.

I did like Kimmel's line about it being a drama that identified as a comedy

[bmoore4026]

Pretty dramatic music for the Reality category

[mojoween]

Did I miss something?  We came back from break and Tambor was giving a speech?  

And a Cosby bit...?

[Laurie4H]

Jeffrey Tambor is great in the roll....although I couldn't get through the 2nd season.  That being said, I can't help thinking the wins for this show are political.

[bmoore4026]

And The Amazing Race people fume.

[thuganomics85]

Naturally, it's the Mark Burnett show that wins, after Kimmel shit all over him for the whole The Apprentice thing...

I feel like it has been awhile since TAR won.

I am not a fan of The Voice, so I am less than thrilled.

[wallflower75]

For those who don't like "The Voice," I think that the addition of Miley Cyrus as a judge should guarantee that it won't win next year...

Their last season involve teams of "YouTube stars." I think it's time to pack it up.

[bmoore4026]

Sandwich time

[PepSinger]

Taraji LOL!! That was funny.

[mojoween]

Handing out food?  Seriously? Isn't this bit so done by now?

I expected better from you, Jimmy.

[DrSparkles]

Kimmel is making doves cry

[bunnyblue]

WTF is this?? Like the program wasn't long enough.

[KaveDweller]

Who started the food at awards show thing? Ellen? It was funny once, but now it's getting boring.

[bmoore4026]

For a moment, I thought they were going to play the Ghostbusters theme

[thuganomics85]

Hey, is the bargain basement version of the time Chris Rock made the audience buy Girl Scout Cookies at the Oscars!

[abstractstuff]

Just tuned in. Within 5 seconds heard the word cisgender. We are a joke.

Leo DiCaprio's face staring down the cookies still makes me laugh.  This though was painful.  Nothing says hilarity like two tired gags rolled into one: peddling food or making your non famous mom slave away making them. 

[Neeners]

OK. This wine is no longer doing the trick.

Serious question why did you say that?

[Indigo Luna]

I keep forgetting Jimmy is even hosting he's such a non entity during all of this.

Didn't someone (Ellen?) order pizza at the Oscars? Enough is enough.

Vodka, and or staring randomly into space during the stupid bits is still working for me. No PB&J even though I mildly enjoyed the gluten shaming

[ebk57]

Leslie Jones is really tall.

Love her!

Seeing the kids from "Stranger Things" was the only saving grace for me.

[mtlchick]

Leslie Jones.  What a wacky summer she had.  At least she can laugh about it (and I love her jumpsuit!) 

[bmoore4026]

And Leslie Jones can't be the host why?

Just keep pouring.  It will work eventually.

[thuganomics85]

So begins The People vs. OJ Simpson's likely domination.  Poor Fargo.

Drat!  Was hoping for Olivia Coleman.

I will forever remember that face. It was glorious and hilarious.

[mtlchick]

I don't mind Regina winning, I don't think she was the most interesting character last season though. 

[mojoween]

Leslie Jones's shoes were fire.  I want 'em.  I have no need for them, but they were superb.  I loved the beautiful blue of her jumpsuit too.

[bmoore4026]

Goddamn forum errors fuckin' shit up for everybody.

Anyway, Jean Smart should have won

I need Mille Bobbie Brown to yell "mouth breather" in Jimmy's direction.

[wallflower75]

I have GOT to get around to watching "American Crime."  It's just popped up on Netflix...so maybe now is the time?

[bmoore4026]

No more Amy Schumer

[Indigo Luna]

I'm praying to anyone "up there" to not let Amy Schumer host any awards show...

[bunnyblue]

I've loved Regina King since Boyz N the Hood. I wasn't that big of a fan of American Crime, but there's no denying RK kills it in that series. Someone give her her own series already.

[mojoween]

Ugh don't talk to Amy Schumer.  She's so fucking annoying.

The "juice? juice? juice? juice? juice?" to David Schwimmer was funny though.

[Misslindsey]

No more Amy Schumer

I echo that statement.

[mtlchick]

Well at least Jimmy's mom knows which is the funny Amy.  

 

Hey it's "My contract with Taylor Swift was for the summer" guy! 

[Neeners]

Is Amy Poehler pregnant? Or is it just my wine playing tricks on me?
