The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Misslindsey]

Yay for Regina King!

[thuganomics85]

Emmy voters sure love Regina King, huh?  I feel like this is her third Emmy in the past five years.

[scarynikki12]

Regina King!

[Diana Berry]

A little choked up over Betty white.  Haven't seen her for a while,  her voice was a bit weak but she looked fantastic. She is a treasure.

[scarynikki12]

Dropping the lipstick on the dress was her clue. 

[gatopretoNYC]

Leslie Jones looks FABULOUS.

[ShadowHunter]

Yay Regina King!

[scarynikki12]

Curse all you want, honey, we’re here for you. 

[Thumper]

What show did Regina King win for?

[vb68]

Regina King is on some kind of hot streak at the Emmys. I think this is number three.

[Misslindsey]

I loved how excited Leslie Jones was for Regina King. I love how Leslie is such of fan of so many people.

"Seven Seconds" on Netflix. 

[thuganomics85]

And its Darren Criss.  I'm sure it is deserved, but I was totally pulling for Jesse Plemons as evil Captain Kirk, judging from his video clip.

[Misslindsey]

I so wanted Jesse Plemons to win.

[mtlchick]

This is for the Gleeks in the house!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I don't know who Darren Criss is, but he's pretty. 

[scarynikki12]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Darren was so fucking great. 

[vb68]

Darren is a long way from Blaine Anderson now.

[scarynikki12]

I’m so ready for Mary Poppins Returns.

No lie, I let out a full on scream. That was a tough category and most pundits were predicting either Jeff Daniels or Benedict Cumberbatch so I believe Darren's surprise reaction was very real.

He was Blaine in Glee.

To change a word.

[Mountainair]

Happy for the Darren Criss win! I was not at all familiar with him before his role in Versace and he made me feel very dirty for thinking such a horrible person was attractive in any way. He sold the character and I'm glad he won! 

[truthaboutluv]

Late joining in on the live discussion (work has been a pain) but only here to say I'm rooting so much for Milo Ventimiglia to win Best Actor. Nothing against Sterling who is brilliant and Randall is definitely the "showier" character but I feel like Milo's brillance is more subtle. And in my opinion, the show would not work as well as it has if they had miscast with Jack. I truly feel like his portrayal of Jack is central to the show. Also, yes Mandy Moore got screwed again.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't watch Glee either, so I have no idea who Blaine is, whoops!

[mtlchick]

Reparations Emmys needs to be a series of some kind.

[ebk57]

Reparations Emmys is pretty damn funny. 

[ChromaKelly]

After Bill Hader's win and they panned to the audience, who TF was that weird person they showed in the audience? 

[Misslindsey]

Che's reactions crack me up. Reparations Emmys is hilarious.

I agree. I am rooting for Milo, but expecting Sterling to win. I love Sterling, but would really like Milo to get some love.

[Bees52]

Wait is he giving Bill Cosby's Emmy to everybody? LOL

[thuganomics85]

Reparations Emmys is the best bit so far.

I saw him too! Rewound and paused a few times- he was kinda freaky looking! No clue who he is though or who he was sitting with. 

[scarynikki12]

“Like Trevor Noah?” Hahahahaha!

He'll always be Harry Potter singing with his crazy college pals to me. LOL

Teddy Perkins? A creepy Donald Glover character from Atlanta.

I wish they had Regina King give Marla Gibbs her Reparations Emmy!!

Donald Glover as Teddy Perkins from Atlanta.

[BW Manilowe]

I’m rooting for Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, & all things The Americans.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

YAY John Mulaney!!!

[scarynikki12]

Man tough category. I legit want everyone to win Writing for Variety. 

[scarynikki12]

Mulaney!!!

[thuganomics85]

John Mulaney!  Granted, I would have given him Emmys just for the lines he wrote for Stefon on Saturday Night Live.

Holy cats!  Never heard of her, & the LOVE seemed a bit over the top.  I did like her dress.

[mojoween]

It probably bothers only me but I wish Ryan and Darren had mentioned the actual people who were harmed and allowed the series to be made in the first place.

Gianni was a real person, you know?

[scarynikki12]

Hee, he’s wearing a blue tux. He says he can’t wear a black tux cause he gets confused with waiters. 

[ebk57]

I can't believe I had no idea who John Mulaney was before he hosted SNL.  He's fabulous!

[Macbeth]

Reparation Emmys for the win. 

Shout out to Marla Gibbs!!  Thank you for the many years of entertainment you have given. 

[scarynikki12]

Sterling and Ron!!!!!! I love you!!!! 

[thuganomics85]

Sterling K. Brown's probably happy to be with Ron Cephas Jones, so everyone will remember This Is Us, and not that he's currently also in that horrible Predator movie as well (in his defense, Sterling was easily the highlight of that film.)

[scarynikki12]

Sterling and Ron telling Dad Jokes would make an excellent short movie.
