The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[bmoore4026]

Yay!  Suck it Bill and Jimmies

[bunnyblue]

Jon Oliver!! Yay!!!

[mtlchick]

Seriously though, where is Matt Damon to antagonize Kimmel so he can actually DO something? (Also so I can look at Matt Damon?) 

 

Edit: THANK GOD.

Yes! John Oliver's segments on voting are hilarious and sad.

[ebk57]

I seriously love John Oliver so much.  Play me off...brilliant.

Ha! Lookie! It's Matt Damon!

[bjork]

Matt should be eating a potato instead.

[vb68]

I wish I could be as effortlessly cool as John Oliver.

Oh, I thought the apple was a callback to "Good Will Hunting."

[SpikeGal]

My brother is happy. He's a fan of John Oliver.

 

I'm also glad no one is kicking me out of here. I thought for sure people would turn on me.

[catrox14]

Yes for John Oliver! And the Matt Damon bit was funny

[thuganomics85]

So, if against all miracles, Kimmel actually won, I wonder if they had alternative scenario for Matt Damon to terrorize him?  

Yay, John Oliver!  And even thanked Jon Stewart at the end.

[mtlchick]

Random moment: Hey Phil from Amazing Race!  At least I saw you!

Random sight: Triumph was sharing a PBJ with Charo. 

[bmoore4026]

And we've got Oprah with her "I love bread" again

If we don't kick you out for not drinking wine, you're okay.

(and just an FYI, the board policy is no politics talk anyway, so we're all good here)

I'm not voting for either and am sick of every speech or joke having something to do with politics. I don't talk politics at home, here or anywhere else. I believe it is a private and personal choice and should remain that way.

 

on to the show.... I'm happy for all the People v. OJ love!

Thank God I'm not alone. I mean, like I said, I;'m voting for Trump but I'm glad there's someone else here that's sick of all this political one-sided-ness. Hey, ABC,. news flash...not everyone is in love with Hillary, all right?

I wish they could make that same rule for Award Shows.

Uh...guys? I should tell you all this now...and get it over with. I'm voting for Donald Trump. Yes, I am a Trump supporter...and I mute out any and all jokes about him because I WANT a Hillary joke!! I'm sick of all this one-sided stuff. Hillary is worse, I hate her...but of course no one will dare make fun of her.

 

So, what I want to know is...am I still welcome here? Or will you throw me out for voting for Trump? Because I am NOT changing my mind. My mind is made up, I am voting for Trump, I will not change it...am I still welcome here? Can I still be here...or will you throw me out?

This is a free site that the members don't own like just like many other Internet forums so we don't censor or control what others say....And why would any of us care who you're voting for when it's a tv show site with threads only about tv shows and movies? Your political ideas are irrelevant 

Second if you want a Hilary joke join Facebook I get plenty in my feed. I live in Chicago and graduated from one of the best universities in the US but have many friends in rural areas tha are outspoken.

Celebrities doing what they do best.  Whining about politics.  They think they're being so brave but literally no one's career suffers in Hollywood by being too liberal.

What is the Damon/Kimmel joke?  I feel like there is an insider reference I am not getting.

There really is plenty of material to make fun of both Trump and Hillary.

Oh, right, I remember the "I'm ***ing Matt Damon" video from a few years ago.  Thanks!

I've had dibs since Home Front...so I win.

Right?

[Neeners]

I've had a crush on Kyle Chandler since Homefront. I found out this year that my friend's friend went to college with him and was so excited! I wasn't quite as excited when she told me he was incredibly dumb. Nice, but dumb. Oh well. He can just smile and look pretty as far as I'm concerned.  

[Misslindsey]

Thomas Kail! What can I say I love Hamilton, so I love him!

You're always welcome to sit at my table (I've been getting a little lonely all by myself, lol.

Long time gag on Kimmel's show where Damon is "banned" from appearing but Matt finds ways to exact his revenge.  

 

Grease Live won?  Huh.  It wasn't the greatest with the audience mixed in with the background people but it was still a fun watch.

Cutting in front of you - I've had dibs since Freddy's Nightmares and Homefront lol.

Doing okay in my pool although the supporting actor/actress categories really did a number on my pool but I totally called Sherlock so maybe that will help me out.

I swear sometimes I feel like the oldest person on earth.

I was lucky enough to see it three times. Very lucky. Extremely lucky.

[wallflower75]

Yaaaay for Key & Peele!  (Especially since it beat out Amy Schumer!)

[camussie]

I think that puts Thomas Kail an Oscar away from an EGOT although I am not sure he won a Grammy with "Hamilton" as QwestLove produced that cast album,

It's a LOOOONG standing joke from Jimmy's show. The bit is, Jimmy hates him, finds ways to ignore him/torture him. He closes his show every night by saying he apologizes to Matt, they ran out of time (like he had Damon booked and didn't have time to bring him out). 

[bmoore4026]

Key and Peele won!!!....and were played off not one minute after winning

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Key & Peele! I was hoping they would get a trophy before they head on out.  Their skits and segments will probably stay with me as long as some of the classic skits on the Chappelle Show did.  Can't wait to see what Keegan and Jordan do next!

[bjork]

Please win, Rami.

[Misslindsey]

Wow that is a horrible dress for Abigail Spencer.

[maraleia]

I hope with all these snubs the era of Amy Schumer being relevant is coming to an end.

[mtlchick]

Rami Malek is someone I want to put in my pocket and carry around.
