The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Fostersmom]

Chrissy Metz seriously needs a stylist. I get she's big, but she never dresses for her size or even in anything attractive. She looked like a fucking Christmas doily. I know what it's like to be her size, I used to be 330 pounds, and I would never have even tried that dress on, let alone worn it out of the dressing room.

AND WE'RE OFF!

[wallflower75]

Looks like I arrived just in time.  Is there an over/under on how many references to 45 are made tonight?

[bmoore4026]

I heard HBO is bringing back The Confederacy :D

[Browncoat]

I love Allison Janney!

Better not make a drinking game of it!

[Misslindsey]

Keri and Matthew's part in the opening cracked me up!

Chance!!

[mtlchick]

That moment when you think "Why hasn't Colbert NOT been on Archer yet?"

[bmoore4026]

Well, the song was good up until this point :/

[ABay]

Everything IS better on TV! Fantasy is always better than reality. Wish I could live there.

[ebk57]

A fun number.  Wish they hadn't had to lip sync the "live" part.

[catrox14]

Stephen looks like he is having so much fun!

[ABay]

I'm off to listen, thanks for the chuckles, folks.

[Misslindsey]

I am the one person who did not like Stranger Things. I thought I would, so maybe it just did not live up to my expectations. 

[bmoore4026]

Too soon :D

[Amethyst]

One of the rare times I've seen animated shows (besides The Simpsons) featured on the Emmy's.  Yay for Archer and Bob's Burgers!  H. Jon Benjamin must be thrilled.

[bmoore4026]

Unless you're Asian

[mtlchick]

"And of course Bill Maher."  Even before they panned to Anthony Anderson, I recognized his laugh.

[thuganomics85]

Congrats Colbert!  Bill Maher is so going to attempt to go after you on this Friday's New Rules for calling him out.

Oh, go away, Oprah!

Anyone else wish Alec Baldwin was president?

[ebk57]

Marble mouth Seth Meyers.  Great gag.  

[ShadowHunter]

I knew Trump would be talked about but this is more then I thought.

[bmoore4026]

Damn, Stephen is on fire tonight

[mtlchick]

Sarah Hyland coughing after that reminder that Trump ACTUALLY said that.  Someone give her some water!

[ebk57]

OMG - Spicey!!!

[bmoore4026]

Sean Spicer!  Damn, I'm shocked

[Misslindsey]

Anna Chlumsky's reaction to Spicer was great.

[mtlchick]

The back and forth between the real and fake Spicey and the reaction shots FOR THE FUCKING WIN!  

[wallflower75]

"What's important to Trump is ratings."

And you're giving it to him by mentioning him.  You know what would've really frosted 45's cookies?  Is if no one mentioned him at all.  Just ignored his presence.  What would he have to grumble about on Twitter if they didn't talk about him?

[Amethyst]

Sarah Hyland and Anna Chlumsky's reactions were hilarious!

[Fostersmom]

Did Reese forget where she was going tonight? 

[Browncoat]

Spicey!  That was freaking awesome!

[bmoore4026]

Where's Reese Witherspoon's skirt?

[jjj]

Getting Sean Spicer: Fantastic.  Reactions to Sean Spicer:  Priceless.

[KaveDweller]

I thought that was funny, but way more Trump than I thought. I'm thinking Stephen wants to piss him off.

Is Reese Witherspoon that short or are those other women that tall? She looks so tiny next to them.

[Amethyst]

Reese Witherspoon's whole look reminds me of the 80's.  Shoulder pads, too big dress/coat, and her hair.  No thank you.

Damn, I was hoping Ron Cephas Jones would win.  But Lithgow is cool.

[bmoore4026]

Go Lithgow!

[Misslindsey]

I was rooting for John Lithgow or Ron Cephas Jones, but liked all the nominees.

[wallflower75]

I would've loved for Jeffrey Wright to win because I thought he was amazing on Westworld, but I'm not surprised that it's Lithgow.  Not that I'm complaining!  He was awesome, just, ya know...I really liked Jeffrey Wright in Westworld.

[thuganomics85]

So Sean "Spicy" Spicer is this year's Jeb Bush.

John Lithgow for the win!  I think I preferred Jeffery Wright, but he was pretty great as Winston Churchill, which was a casting choice I never would have predicted.

[Ohwell]

OMFG Sean Spicer.  Is it my imagination, or does he actually look better since he left Hell...err the White House?

[ShadowHunter]

Woohoo John Lithgow. 

[Eureka]

The Crown is on me and my son's to-watch list. Wish we had already bc I love John Lithgow. We watched Handmaids Tale and Ozark together but that darn school has gotten in the way. Lol.

[jjj]

Sean Spicer just got a lot of new buyers for his book, whenever it comes out!

[Amethyst]

Is Chance the Rapper doing the commercial announcements?

[Misslindsey]

He looks happier.

[mtlchick]

Whoever is doing the voice over tonight has not found a fan in Leslie Jones.  Why is he shouting at me?!

[MostlyC]

I'm glad that Lithgow won the emmy.  Also, on a petty note, I am glad that Mandy Patinkin did not.  He is insufferably smug (in my opinion).

[Fostersmom]

Who's reading the announcements? I know the voice, but can't place it and they kinda suck so far.

I thought the same.  He's looking like he sleeps more than 1 hour a night and not waking up to a shitstorm he has to try to clamp down on.
