The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[CofCinci]

I'm unhappy that Elisabeth Miss won after seeing her make faces during Nicole Kidman's win.

OMG. Sterling K. Brown shouting out to Andre Braugher...guys. It just got super dusty here, I don't know WTF is happening...

Sterling K Brown, who I first saw in an episode of Supernatural.

[sally-can-wait]

Very light applause for Elizabeth Moss. Is she not liked?

[Misslindsey]

Yay Elisabeth Moss! She is so good in Handmaid's Tale.

I am so disappointed that they played Sterling off.

[bmoore4026]

Tatiana just rockin' those shoulders

And Elizabeth Moss finally gets some recognition

[mtlchick]

Elisabeth Moss won.  Happy with the win due to the work.  Not happy because that means Xenu is happy and we can't have that.

Is "This Is Us" really that good?  It always seemed kinda...I don't know...melodramatic in the ads and the way all my friends talked about it??

It's good, but not that good. Sterling is excellent in his role though, although I would have been happy with Matthew Ryes winning as well.

[ShadowHunter]

They need to put Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a tux on The Walking Dead.

[thuganomics85]

Elizabeth Moss wins a trophy after getting passed over time after time on Mad Men.  Glad for her, even if I find the whole Scientology thing creepy.  I do hope Claire Foy gets another shot, since she really was excellent on The Crown.

Out of the way, Negan, I'm all about that Tatiana Maslany!!!

[Minneapple]

I can't believe they cut off Sterling but let Nicole talk all she wanted. Okay, I can believe it.

[Amethyst]

When Sterling mentioned Martin and Gina, I know I was ready to hear the rest of his speech.  Cackling that he just kept going after they played him off!

Those around her saw her act like a brat when SP Nicole Kidman won.

I can't get past the $cientology connection. It clouds my opinion of her and that's coming from a big West Wing fan.

[jjj]

What got bleeped in the Moss speech?

[wonderwoman]

Seemed as though it took a long time for them to play Elizabeth Moss off...

At first I thought it was the c-word by the way the crowd reacted but no way right?

And OPRAH!!

Oprah's fat again, I see.  Someone isn't layin' off the Doritos

[sweetcookieface]

I think This Is Us is just alright (I see it as more of a guilty pleasure), but Sterling is amazing in it. Ive been a bit obsessed with him since American Crime Story (where he was also the biggest standout among many great performances),  so I'm thrilled with his win. Speech of the night for me - everything from the Walter White and Dick Whitman shoutouts, to repping black love like Martin and Gina, to the quip about this being the best adoptive white family on TV. Wish they hadn't played him off.

[Eureka]

I think it was mf badass.

[JasmineFlower]

Sterling's speech was the best of the night for me, perfect mix of heartfelt emotion and hilarious. I'm not gonna start This is Us, but I'm now a Sterling fan, where I just appreciated him as an actor before.

[Muffyn]

I have found that Elisabeth Moss gets extraordinary roles but I always think someone else would be better in them.  I never feel she lives up  to the hype.   

[Mystery]

I was wondering about Elisabeth Moss's faces when Nicole won. Didn't realize she was a Scientologist and was probably making faces for that reason. 

After Nicole's speech, no one should have been played off. 

[ThisOne]

Umm...I haven't seen "This is Us," but when SKB said his TV family are even better than "those white folks who raised Webster," I lost it. His speech was amazing all around, but that part made me laugh so much.

[Misslindsey]

I wanted Elisabeth to win, but I would have been happy with Keri or Claire Foy. I really hope they get recognized eventually.

I should not laugh but I did. I love her glasses though. 

[bmoore4026]

Fuck yeah, The Handmaid's Tale!

And Margaret Atwood coming up with them was awesome

Great night for Hulu.

Well, she loves bread, you know!

[Macbeth]

I loved the shout out to Andre Braugher,  Fantastic at both drama and comedy.

[thuganomics85]

Handmaid's Tale wins the big one!  So, now I need to get a Hulu subscription and get that on my list!

Not a great night for Westworld, Stranger Things, or Better Call Saul, sadly.  Hopefully they'll get more chances.  Assuming Game of Thrones doesn't torch everything when it comes back into the game next year.

[wallflower75]

Margaret Atwood!!!!!!!  *cheers*

[Misslindsey]

Good for the Handmaid's Tale. Such a great show.

[jjj]

Whoa, Margaret Atwood!

I'm going to be forever bitter if he never gets recognized for his fantastic work on the underrated Brooklyn Nine Nine.

[Misslindsey]

Hee! Horrible things to Rory Gilmore!

[wonderwoman]

And we're out: only 2 minutes over:)

The GoT fandom may want to throw rotten tomatoes at me, but honestly...I was not super impressed with the past season of the show.  There were some moments that were fantastic, but as a whole, it didn't do a lot for me.  Which was a real bummer considering how much I'd looked forward to it.

[Amethyst]

I love Oprah's pantsuit, even if it's not very Emmy-like.

He's been robbed for his work as Capt. Holt on Brooklyn 99.  

[sally-can-wait]

Best awards show I have watched in a long while. Well done all around.

I always think of him as "Dead Denny" from Grey's Anatomy.  Terrible storyline.

[mtlchick]

Fun times, kids.  Awards season is here!  Going to be fun!

 

(PS will be needing gifs of Moss' bitch face at Nicole winning.)  

[jjj]

Before you all go away -- this thread is GREAT!  You make the show ten times more fun!! Have a great year!

From what I understand, Claire's only got one more shot--aren't they replacing the cast every two seasons as they continue through Elizabeth II's reign?  She was wonderful in that role, but I knew she wasn't beating Elisabeth Moss this year.

[MostlyC]

And did it end....on time??

Yes, one or two more shots -- I am not sure when they will do a time jump.

Maybe we'd have been on time if they'd played Nicole Kidman off like they played off everyone else...

You're not alone. I think the consensus was this was GoT's worst season so far. The writing clearly faltered being this far removed from the books. 

[galaxygirl76]

I can actually go to bed? And it's not going to take me days to catch up on the awards thread because someone announced the wrong winner? This is so nice :)

[ebk57]

Another fun evening with all of you!  What's the next one - the Golden Globes?  See you all then.
