The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Neeners]

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

[Mumbles]

I have been a fan of Regina King since she was a kid on 227.  

Love Kerry Washington's natural hair.

[bmoore4026]

And John Singleton didn't win.  I'm not happy.

[vb68]

Kate McKinnon winning is everything for ,me! So unbelievably happy about that!

Tom Hiddleston and Priyanka Chopra were well-behaved with each other, even though both are gunning to be the next James Bond, apparently.

Did not see The Night Manager beating out People vs. OJ and Fargo, but I guess it was a well-shot series.  I'm sure the locations and people helped on that front.

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.

Wasn't a fan of the first season, but the second season was fantastic.  I am liking the limited series model.  it is like a whole new show each season with the same cast. 

[ebk57]

I missed the red carpet, but you all are right - Clare Danes is orange.

[bmoore4026]

Damn, they played Night Manager lady off quick

[mtlchick]

Meanwhile Jon Mayer is sitting with the band?  PLEASE tell me he exchanged notes with Tom and invited him to sit with them at the "Taylor dumped me too" table.  

[Thumper]

I liked the Wrong Amy thing.  :)

[mojoween]

I'm confused, Sarah Paulson was nominated for AHS, not ACS?  Or is that a later category?

I'm really surprised ACS didn't win the last award but that lady director's dress was very pretty.

[bmoore4026]

Here I'm hoping for all of Swift's exes to get together and start their own band.

Not exactly an exclusive club.  At this point many tables would need to be reserved...

She's up for both, I think.

[bjork]

I thought John Singleton was going to win, but The Night Manager was a nice surprise.

[maraleia]

So two women, Jill and Susanne, won directing awards. I hope Hollywood execs are paying attention because both women did superb jobs on their respective shows and fun fact both were producers on their shows so there's that.

Maybe an orchestra?

She was, for both.

And what on earth is Terrence Howard wearing??

This would be awesome! Thank you for putting it out in the universe.

[Chrissytd]

I was hoping for this win.

[bunnyblue]

Yeah, Sterling K. Brown!!! His role wasn't flashy but he was sooo good as Chris Darden.

[mojoween]

Sterling K. Brown!  He absolutely broke my heart as Christopher Darden.  Best winner yet.

Mr ebk said pajamas 

[thuganomics85]

Hoping for Bokeem Woodbine, but Sterling K. Brown was an amazing surprise in The People vs. OJ Simpson, so I'm glad for him!  He more then held his own against some pretty established actors on that show.

[bmoore4026]

He's a St. Louis man!?  Now I'm doubly happy!

[Fostersmom]

Can we talk about Tavolta's face lift? Damn, it's so apparent. 

[mojoween]

If Terrence was trying to suck in his stomach perhaps he could have gone up a size on the jacket.

[bluwater]

YASSSS!! Sterling deserves that trophy! He was wonderful as Darden. First win I've clapped for tonight!

[bmoore4026]

Don't you fucking dare play him off!

[mojoween]

Or the hair plugs.  We could discuss those too.

[ebk57]

Audra's not there.  Damn

[bunnyblue]

Oh hey there, orange Claire. Someone needs to be fired for that cheetoh job.

[wallflower75]

Yaaay!  I've liked Sarah Paulson ever since I first saw her in an episode of "Law & Order"---glad that she finally won!!

[mtlchick]

Marcia Clark finally gets the win.  

[bmoore4026]

Shit but Dane's orange.  The fuck happened?

Maybe she chose Trump orange when picking out her shade.

[Spacecow]

Sarah's dress is giving me major Christmas tree vibes

[thuganomics85]

Bummed for Kirsten Dunst, but I'm glad Sarah Paulson finally wins one, after it felt like she kept getting nominated and losing for the past ten years.

Orange Claire Danes was distracting.  What was even the point of Bryan Cranston being there if he was going to only announce the winner?

[mojoween]

OMG Sarah's speech is making me cry.  Everyone on earth should apologize to Marcia.

Lesli Linka Glatter could make it a trifecta.

Although IMHO, Miguel Sapotchnik is the name I want to hear.

[bmoore4026]

What's with the band playing off the interesting winners?

[mtlchick]

Dammit Sarah is making me cry with her comments to Marcia Clark.  That was really sweet of her. 

[wallflower75]

I forget who said it, but they weren't kidding--Marcia Clark is looking a lot different than she did twenty-two years ago.  Wow.

[Thumper]

Yay, Sarah!  She was so good.  I like her dress too.

I would have loved to have seen Tina Fey's face. She has made several mean-spirited shots at Marcia Clark over the years, completely out of nowhere and unrelated to the plots of her shows.

22 years later, and we are still talking about her appearance. Why would anyone want to be a woman in the public eye?

[Petunia13]

Sarah Paulsen looks amazing! I love her hair and her dress is giving me a Cate Blanchett vibe. 

[bmoore4026]

Hot damn, Courtney B. Vance won!!!

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Courtney B. Vance!  His performance as Johnnie Cochran was almost scary, because he almost made me think he was the real person when I was watching that show.  And he already won a Tony?  Hey, halfway to an EGOT!  And married to Angela Basset!  Courtney B. Vance is the man!

Edited September 19, 2016 by thuganomics85

[bunnyblue]

Yay, Courtney B. Vance!! And my mind was just totally blown: I didn't know he was married to Angela Basset. Loved his speech!
