The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[thuganomics85]

Well, congrats to Dinklage, but I really think Nikolaj Coster Waldau needs a damn trophy.  Quit hogging the gold, Tyrion!

[Nordly Beaumont]

I don't watch GoT, but Peter Dinklage is so talented I love it when he wins.

[Frost]

Love Taraji's dress.

[scarynikki12]

I love Peter so I have no problem here. 

[Misslindsey]

Sam, not loving your dress, but you are hilarious. 

I was hoping for a Matt Smith or Joseph Fiennes. I love Peter Dinklage. I just was not enamored with the last season of GoT.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Peter's speech. Short and sweet, just like him. ;)

[mojoween]

Hey George, you don’t have time to sit in the theater, how’s about you get working on book eight, hmm?

I love Peter.  It looked like he snubbed Kit’s congratulations though, and if Kit is despondent over this, since Rose isn’t there, I will gladly fill in.

[scarynikki12]

Thandie!!!

[thuganomics85]

Oh, shit!  Thandie Newton!  Even though I wasn't wild about this season of Westworld, Newton is perfection as Maeve!

[2727]

Rolling along nicely.

I kind of miss the announcer who'd drop info about the winners while they walk up to the stage.

Enjoying the huge video backdrop of the winner's photos as they give their acceptance speeches.

[theredhead77]

I really need to go to bed but after that proposal I've got too much FOMO. 

 

This is the first awards show I've watched all of, I tend to get bored and tune out after the monologue

[Misslindsey]

Sigh. I wanted Alexis or Ann to win.

I don’t even watch Game of Thrones, but isn’t that, like, his 3rd Emmy for the same role?

[Nidratime]

When was Game of Thrones last on?

[scarynikki12]

Thandie cursed. Regina King approves. 

[mojoween]

It makes me laugh that Millie Bobby Brown stands for everyone because I feel like she does that because she can’t sit with those hoops in her dress.

Still sad that the likes of Reg E. Cathey, John Mulaney, and others are no longer with us, but at least most of them seem to be older and have lived hopefully full lives. 

I know you mean Mahoney and yeah, the reminder he's gone is a big reason why I do NOT want a proposed Frasier reboot.  

 

Thandie doesn't believe in God but thanked Her and then got bleeped.  I did not have that on my bingo card. 

[Mystery]

I don't think I'd even remembered that HBO was Home Box Office

[Macbeth]

Omg omg. Thandie won!!

Dont bleep her. I want to hear her. 

Westworld pay her what she is worth.  

[vb68]

I was not expecting Thandie.  Good for her.

[statsgirl]

I find it interesting that for Best Supporting Actor, three of the nominees are from shows that centre around a woman.

I hate public proposals. 

Seriously!  This is a private moment.  Nobody else gives a sh*t.

[scarynikki12]

I totally expected Alexis, Ann, or Yvonne to win since their costars were presenting. Nice misdirect.

Lol, I was just going to post that it's cute how she keeps standing because she's seems so excited and wants to see everyone! I didn't know she had hoops in her dress! 

[Sugar]

I don't think Dinklage had very good material this season, and that's the only reason I'm disappointed with his win. I was also rooting for Nikolaj, who has really become a powerhouse on that show. And that's not easy when you're always going toe to toe with Lena Heady.

[Misslindsey]

I did appreciate that GoT joke from Colin Jost.

Me too. I keep waiting for some guy to announce "this is so-and-so's third nomination and first win." The silence feels weird.

[thuganomics85]

The Americans win writing!  Could we actually see a big upset here?

Edited September 18, 2018 by thuganomics85

[ebk57]

Yay - an award for The Americans!! 

[Misslindsey]

Yessssss! The Americans gets some love!

[scarynikki12]

Is this the first win for The Americans?

[Macbeth]

Holy shit!!  The Americans won an Emmy.

As one of the "treasonous" fans - what can I say. The plot went awry in the last 2 seasons. 

I still watched it. 

Edited September 18, 2018 by Macbeth

[mojoween]

Nooooo.  “The Dragon and the Wolf” wasn’t the best GoT ep last year, but the not best ep is still one of the best shows on TV and it should have won.

I believe Margo Martindale won Best Guest Actress, but this is the first in the main categories, I believe.

I’m almost positive they won for writing before, but I forget which season(s).

[scarynikki12]

Nanette is an amazing special. 

[Frost]

I don't know who this is, but she's hysterical

[Sugar]

I don't know who Hannah Gadsby is, but she is awful. 
 

(lol, funny that the comment above is saying the opposite! Different strokes, I guess :P)

The Crown wins director, so Drama looks like it might be pretty open this go around.

Margo Martindale won a couple of times in Guest, for what felt like just a couple of lines of dialogue each time.

This one is much more meaningful.

Edited September 18, 2018 by vb68

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I thought she was funny.

No the only Emmys it’s won are two for Margo as guest actress.

Hannah Gadsby. Her special, Nanette, is on Netflix. 

I think I like her approach the best: don’t accept on the absentee winner’s behalf but walk away instead.

Her stand up show "Nanette" is wonderful.

Watch her special On Netflix, Nanette it’s amazing. More one woman show than traditional standup special but still funny!

They’ve won other Emmys for Guest Actress in a Drama, for Margo Martindale who played their main KGB Handler (besides/after Gabriel), Claudia—she won 2 or 3 of those Emmys. They’ve also won at least 1 more writing, with at least 1 more nomination for writing.

[Misslindsey]

The Fab Five! I love them.

[scarynikki12]

Sounds like the crowd wants Milo.

[thuganomics85]

Matthew Rhys!  I think it is happening!

Only the 2 for Margo, none for Writing until tonight!
