Me! The first couple of episodes are REALLY GOOD but then it falls flat at the end.

[Eureka]

Did Sarah take Tracee's dress?

[ebk57]

Riz gave a very nice speech. 

 

I did watch the first episode of the show, and while I could appreciate it, I realized it wasn't for me.  

[Misslindsey]

Did Sarah Paulson get her puffed sleeves from Anne of Green Gables?

[thuganomics85]

Man, that was one talented category there, but I figured it would be Nicole Kidman.  Have way to an EGOT, right?

[ThisOne]

I had no doubt Nicole Kidman would win. She was SO GOOD in that show.

[bmoore4026]

Nicole Kidman has still got.

Damn, they are really shoving this show into light speed.  Or is that just me?  

It's not you. It's flying. I'm switching between the game and this and I miss an award or two when I'm gone for like 3 minutes.

[Misslindsey]

I do like Nicole's dress. I could not decide who I wanted to win from Big Little Lies the most.

[wallflower75]

Argh, what is with the sleeves on Sarah Paulson's dress?

So Nicole Kidman won after all.  I wondered if Reese Witherspoon being in the same category might split the vote.

Me. I really enjoyed it. It flagged a bit in the middle but ended well. It was really suspenseful IMO

I did, I didn't think the show was good, but Riz Ahmed was excellent.

[cmahorror]

Yes! Nicole Kidman's performance was so just so heartbreakingly real and devastating that I still remember it months after seeing it.

If that's for EGOT, she's halfway there.  She won an Oscar for The Hours.

[mtlchick]

Two thoughts;

1) Nicole and Keith are too adorable.

2) Reese Witherspoon is becoming a producer that people should work with more often, because Elle Woods is picking some winners. 

[chitowngirl]

I notice no one is playing Nicole off!

[jjj]

Nicole Kidman:  Not just beautiful and talented, but so eloquent.   And I guess there is a rule against playing off Ms. Kidman!

[MostlyC]

/shallow note:  I loved her hair.

[thuganomics85]

B.D. Wong and Matt Bomer rocking a salt and pepper beard!

Hey, Black Mirror wins television movie too!

[sally-can-wait]

Black Mirror. YES!!!!

[Misslindsey]

Awesome for Black Mirror! Good for them.

It was FANTASTIC, especially the acting.

Beautiful and classy speech.  So glad they let Nicole take her time. It was worth it.. 

[bmoore4026]

I'm so happy for San Junipero.  It's nice having a gay themed story that ends happily ever after

[ShadowHunter]

Go Black Mirror. Its nice to see some unexpected wins.

[JasmineFlower]

Should I go back and listen to Nicole's speech? She's not my favorite and it kind of felt like her speech was veering into sounding like this was one of her first great successes. Like she's not a multi-millionaire Oscar and Golden Globe winning actress.

I have! And I  thought Riz's Emmy was very well deserved (was rooting for him or Turturro). (In fact, I wish the show had won in some other categories as well.)

[Macbeth]

Matt Bomer is spectacularly beautiful.

[thuganomics85]

Noble effort by Black Mirror guy, but there will, in fact, be no big Emmy orgy tonight!  At least not on camera....

Interesting that Nicole only mentioned her children with Keith Urban. Wonder what her relationship is with the two she and Tom Cruise adopted.

I also love that it is a reason for them to play Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth". 80's music for the win.

He looks divine. Like always.

[thuganomics85]

Whelp, I better make time to watch Big Little Lies on HBOGo now.

[sally-can-wait]

Has FEUD won anything yet? I really wanted the actress who played Mamacita to win. She was fantastic.

I just popped in to say, I just can't get enough of how gorgeous Matt Bomer is. Yes, gorgeous. Yummy.

Yes, I thought it was unusually articulate, for an awards show.

She is considered a Suppressive Person in $cientology.  They aren't allowed to have a relationship with her.

I thought that was weird too, but she was talking about not being around for her kids because of this show. Her kids with Tom Cruise are adults, right?  It's not like she has to apologize for not seeing them every night.

She is considered a Suppressive Person in $cientology.  They aren't allowed to have a relationship with her.  

Or that. That's pretty screwed up.

Same, although that was such a stacked category - I would have been happy with almost any of the nominees winning.

Those kids no longer need to be tucked in

[Misslindsey]

Big Little Lies wining not surprising, but well deserved.

I thought Nicole Kidman was underrated in the film Lion. 

[bmoore4026]

Reese Witherspoon has never aged has she?  She could do a remake of both Pleasantville and Election and play the same roles

[CherryMalotte]

I rarely watch the red carpet stuff prior to the show but is there some theme with the ladies all wearing a lot of red tonight?  I feel like I missed a memo.

If you go by the tabloids, virtually non existant since the kids are well into Scientology and she isn't.  (It wouldn't surprise me if she secretly passed off info to Leah Remini for her show.

 

That moment when you remember "Hey Nicole Kidman could have been Zoe Kravitz's step mother."

[CofCinci]

Poor Cicely Tyson.

And if I was watching the right row, it looked like Elisabeth Moss bugged out during Nicole's category.

Since she has been labeled a "suppressive person" by the Cult of Scientology, they, as cult members, are supposed to have nothing to do with her. 

[MostlyC]

I hope she is okay. Ms. Tyson.

[Laurie4H]

I love how Nicole and Reese talking about rolls for women and not being offered great rolls yet they are both billionaire Oscar winners.

Pleasantville! What a great movie. I've got to do a rewatch of that!!

[ShadowHunter]

I knew Big Little Lies would win great night for them. Reese still looks young.

Feud was shut out.
