It is probably unpopular but I love Che and Jost.

I don't even know which one is Che and which one is Jost. They don't seem too bad as hosts though.

Lots of love in that room for Henry Winkler.

[Macbeth]

Henry never won an Emmy before?? Good for him. He is such a sweetie.

Yes! As the New York Times just posted, Winkler's performance made the show.

[Scarlett45]

I liked Kristen Bell’s dress. It’s different but quite elegant. 

[vb68]

I love Jost and Che, but I was expecting a little more.

Yay for Henry Winkler! You can tell it meant a lot to him.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

II don't like these revolving giant doors.

Yes. It was really good. Bill Hader really brought it, too. There was one episode that really stunned me with his range.

Yeah.

There's still a long way to go, but SNL viewers know they can do better.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Ok, that was pretty funny.

[Misslindsey]

I think I must be the only one who did not love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I thought I would love it but I did not.

[mtlchick]

After getting HBO Canada free again through my provider and watching a few episodes of Barry, I am completely ok with Henry's win. He was awesome.

OMG LOIS FROM FAMILY GUY WON!  

[MostlyC]

I wonder if this will be the night of Marvelous Ms Maisel....but a well deserved win.

I loved that show. I clapped when Henry Winkler won and cried at his perfect "speech."

[ShadowHunter]

Aww good speech from Alex Borstein plus she had some fun with it.

[thuganomics85]

Marvelous Ms Maisel certainly has emerged to frontrunner status with these wins.

[mtlchick]

Did she actually try to tie #TimesUp to bad carpeting?  There's a joke in here but I don't know if it's a good one or really horrible one.

[vb68]

This is an interesting format with announcing the nominees and then bringing out the presenters. At first I thought it was odd, but so far it's keeping things moving.

[Misslindsey]

I am loving this Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg bit.

[MostlyC]

Yep...Maisel is taking the hardware tonight.  All of it.

I really like Sandra and Andy.  A brilliant bit, brilliantly done.

[Scarlett45]

Sandra Oh’s dress is stunning. Not into the shoes though. My mom liked The Marvelous Miss Maizel I haven’t seen it. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I guess this means I should watch the show, but still not feeling motivated to.

I didn't think I would like it and I ended up loving it so there's that. It's also the only non network show I watched this year so I'm glad to have something recognizable (to me) win something :) 

[thuganomics85]

Well, at least Comedy Actor might be interesting.  On the other hand, they should just go ahead and have Rachel Brosnahan on stage to accept her trophy.

[MostlyC]

The first 4 episodes  of Maisel were excellent.  

But I did not expect the show to be cleaning it up at this year’s Emmys.

I like that Andy showed the winner, so there was no doubt

[Nidratime]

ASP is finally getting her due. A long time coming.

I loved TMMM, but it mirrors my background. I don't know if people who haven't at least lived in that kind of neighborhood would get it.

[sara416]

Angela Basset does not age. Seriously. It's amazing. 

[mtlchick]

I'm almost disappointed that Tiffany Haddish didn't wear "The McQueen" dress.    But she looks STUNNING.

(Still waiting for my Angela Bassett vs Viola Davis arm wrestling match.)

So Ms Maisel is a show I should be watching but I'm too cheap to get Amazon Prime.

I expect I and my background are the photo negative of you and yours. I got it and loved it. 

[Quickbeam]

Would have been nice for the presenters to learn Rachel’s last name. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Yay Bill!

[Misslindsey]

Yes Bill Hader!

[Nordly Beaumont]

WOW! I didn't really expect Bill Hader to get it but I sure am glad he did!

[MostlyC]

Surprised and happy for Bill.

[mtlchick]

BILL!  So happy to see him get his due.  

[thuganomics85]

Yay, Bill Hader!  He was always one of my favorites on SNL and he deserves it for Barry.

That said, damn, looks like Atlanta is going to set shut-out.  I heard Robbin Season was excellent, but it seems like the voters weren't feeling it.

[vb68]

Bill Hader!! WOW!!

Stefon gets an Emmy!

[Amethyst]

Is Donald Glover in his Teddy Perkins costume?

[ShadowHunter]

I'm happy things are zipping along. Take a lesson Oscars.

I am disappointed Atlanta is getting shut out. I loved the past season.

[Thumper]

I haven't seen any of these shows.  Happy for Bill Haider and Henry Winkler, though.

I really like Black-ish; would like to see some love for that show.

I watched on my daughter's account when she was at work.

I loved Rachel Brosnahan's get-out-the-vote bit. Just the right tone.

 

And, yay again for Barry! Bill Hader deserved it just for creating the show. (I guess that doesn't make sense?)

 

Those who were nominated will ultimately be remembered just about as much, but winning is winning.

[chitowngirl]

Prince music in a commercial? His estate didn’t waste any time-he must be rolling over in his grave!

[Mystery]

I liked Michael Douglas's speech. Carry that rage!

[thuganomics85]

I'll try and pay attention to the limited series categories, even though I'm still pissed The Terror got completely shutout.

[Misslindsey]

Oh Maya, I love you but what are you wearing?

[stonehaven]

One thing I wish some of these shows would announce what network/streaming service they can be found...like Barry or Atlanta....I have Netflix, Hulu and CBS All Access...just want to know...
