The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[ParadoxLost]

How are they deciding who is a big enough star to present on their own vs. not?

[Mountainair]

Eesh! Just sw Hayden P. And yowza! Too much skin up top!

It's trending on Twitter how  Kimmel showed up Meyers.

 

How does that work?

 

Kimmel and Meyers are on good terms (Meyers was very supportive when Kimmel followed him at the White House Correspondents Dinner host, and Meyers took time to congratulate Kimmel on his baby last month).

 

I'm sure he got Meyers' permission to do that bit.

 

Still, it's weird that that was allowed.

[aradia22]

Hayden should totally be up for an award. She is the best part of Nashville. That girl can make me cry like nobody's business. I think her gown looks better from the side but regardless it will go down as one of my favorite red carpet pregnancy gowns.

[jjj]

Oh, my I did not realize Hayden P. was expecting!  Congrats! Lots on display in that upper part of the gown, but great choice!

[Brandi Maxxxx]

Also, she just called Chuck Lorre a genius so this entire speech is invalid.

 

Of course he's a genius, he co-created a show about nerds.

[aradia22]

The woman from Black Books is on Episodes? Still not going to watch episodes. 

 

Also, seeing TJ Miller makes me miss The Goodwin Games.

[ABay]

The directing intros were almost as good as the writers' ones.

[ParadoxLost]

Eye contact with Matthew McConaughey upstaged everyone lol

[aradia22]

The first person to get the music.

[bosawks]

I feel like I'm missing something with Modern Family.

I find it perfectly acceptable and that's about it.

[maraleia]

aradia22 Episodes is so damn funny. I highly recommend it.

[ParadoxLost]

Did he really say someone is bringing back Judging Amy?  That's a joke right/

[aradia22]

Billy On the Street also upstaging Seth.

[jjj]

Okay, the street scene is funny.  Donations for the Big Bang Theory, heh. 

[ABay]

What city is Billy on the Street done in. So I can avoid ever going there.

[aradia22]

I would be so happy to look as good as Julia Louis Dreyfus at her age. Heck, I'd be happy to have her body now. Damn.

[ParadoxLost]

Bryan Cranston's mustache upstaging Seth,

[Misslindsey]

Who knew I agree with Billy on the Street? Heh...Judging Amy.

 

Filliam H. Muffman!

 

Jim Parsons seems like a perfectly nice guy, but ugh, The Big Bang Theory makes my stabby.

I'm pretty sure it's here in NY. It's a Funny or Die thing.

Jim won again!?!

[bmoore4026]

Sorry I'm late.  I was folding towels.

 

Oh, look that one guy from The Big Bang Theory won.  Awww, and he thanked his late father.  That was sweet.  And I mean that.

[ABay]

Misslindsey, I gave you a like just for Filliam H. Muffman.

 

Thanks, aradia.

[bosawks]

Ironically Julia Louis-Dreyfus is Gaelic for Dorian Gray.

[jjj]

JLD does look amazing, for any age.  Generous speech, Jim Parsons, "there's no accounting for taste".  Love you in the role, but also love "Episodes".  Aw, that is a lovely thanks to Jim Parsons' father.  I also saw him talk about his father on "Who Do You Think You Are?", also lovely there. 

[KaveDweller]

I feel like other people on Big Bang Theory are just as talented as Jim Parsons, yet totally ignored.

[thuganomics85]

I'm surprised Jodie Foster lost.  Not surprised Jim Parsons wins... again.  He's just going to be one of those guys who keeps winning the award over and over again.

 

I see Matthew McConaughey is going to be the name that is dropped the most in this telecast.

 

The "Billy on the Street" segment was funny.  I actually am not famailer with that whole thing; I only really know the guy from his role on Parks and Rec.

[bmoore4026]

Anyone else out there hope that a hook was going to come out and yank that Sally Field looking lady who won for Modern Family off stage?

[Magpi]

Ugh, please make everyone and everything connected to the Big Bang Theory go far, far away.

[jjj]

Well, they did put McConaughey right in front, so it would be hard not to get pulled into his gaze...

[Misslindsey]

Filliam H. Muffman is pretty much the highlight for me so far.

 

 

I feel like other people on Big Bang Theory are just as talented as Jim Parsons, yet totally ignored.

Wait, there are more people on TBBT besides Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco?

[jjj]

Oh, yes, the Modern Family writer -- you'd think she could have written herself something, uh, *appropriate* for a major awards show? 

[aradia22]

 

Bryan Cranston's mustache upstaging Seth,

Haha. Let's do this all night.

 

I'm surprised Jodie Foster lost.

I wanted to see her dress.

[ParadoxLost]

Not surprised Jim Parsons wins... again.  He's just going to be one of those guys who keeps winning the award over and over again.

 

I think there is a bit of name recognition that goes on at this point.  I like Jim Parson's but last season wasn't that great.  With Modern Family too. And JLD.  She needs to not submit at this point.

Well, they did put McConaughey right in front, so it would be hard not to get pulled into his gaze...

 

And he's orange.  Like the sun.  I want him to win something just to see if its the lighting

[Brandi Maxxxx]

And Amy Pueblo loses yet again.

[aradia22]

Jimmy's joke didn't have the best payoff but it was cute.

 

This is the one time I want Lena Dunham to win so everybody has to look at that dress.

[Grammaeryn]

So are they just rebroadcasting the 2011 show?

[aradia22]

LOL, JLD is amazing. I need to start watching Veep.

[ABay]

aradia, I was thinking the same thing! About Dunham's dress.

 

Loved the JLD - Cranston bit.

Edited August 26, 2014 by ABay

[ebk57]

I do love how the comedy actresses all have a great sense of humor about this show.  That bit with Bryan Cranston and JLD was fab.

[jjj]

Aw, Amy Pueblo, I am so rooting for you! 

[ebk57]

I love JLD, but I don't love Veep...

[Misslindsey]

Amy Pueblo. I so want her to win someday. Maybe, the day when Nick Offerman can get nominated. 

 

Julia and Bryan Cranston so great!

[KaveDweller]

Wait, there are more people on TBBT besides Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco?

 

Actually I was thinking of Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco who I don't think have even been nominated.

[aradia22]

Mindy is carrying on the red dress trend. Seriously, how did the Project Runway rejects predict this? 

[bmoore4026]

The Amazing Race won once again.  No surprise.

[Misslindsey]

Where's Phil Keoghan! Did I miss him while typing? Damn! I love Phil. Okay now I see him! All is good.

 

 

The Amazing Race won once again.  No surprise.

Didn't it lose last year to The Voice?

 

 

Actually I was thinking of Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco who I don't think have even been nominated.

You are right. Though I would cringe at the day that Kaley Cuoco won an Emmy. Not a fan of her acting, but I am not a fan of The Big Bang Theory. Though I think their theme song is by BNL, who I used to love.

Edited August 26, 2014 by Misslindsey

[aradia22]

The Amazing Race did not deserve this win. Now that I actually watch I can say that. This was a weak season.

[ABay]

So, screw you, nominees who are not Julia Roberts.

[maraleia]

JLD is 53 FYI and rockin everything in the world. I heart her so much.

[aradia22]

So, Julia Roberts is a lock to win, right? Also, what is Angela Bassett there for? That Steel Magnolias thing wasn't this year, right?
