The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[scarynikki12]

Cranston is far better. 

[CherryMalotte]

I'm trying not to listen too hard - even as background noise it's bad.

[vb68]

This is already painful. Anthony Anderson is so hambone.  

[Browncoat]

And what the hell is this still?  Besides not funny.

Wait, maybe this is better.

[thuganomics85]

Bryan Cranston can make anything sound epic!

Jonathan Banks laughing is kind of unnerving.  Didn't know he was capable of that!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I love Bryan Cranston.

[Misslindsey]

I would rather the Emmys have a host than this mess as an opening. I never really minded most of the Emmy hosts.

[Celia Rubenstein]

Jodie Comer for the win! She's the only reason I'm here.

Cranston's bit is pretty good - why couldn't they have just opened directly with this, rather than two unfunny comedy bits?

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Ha, major spoiler alert.

[scarynikki12]

I so love watching Arya kill the Night King. 

[mtlchick]

I want Bryan Cranston to narrate my life. 

[thuganomics85]

Mahershala Ali's  all "Man, I remember when I use to mainly due TV work!"

[Browncoat]

I'm out, y'all.  It was fun watching the purple carpet with you -- see you at the next awards show, whichever one that is!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Saw that coming.

[ebk57]

This is kinda creepy.  Although the Newhart payoff will be great.

[scarynikki12]

Why do they have the creepy wax mannequins? 

Oh it’s for the Bob Newhart gag. Carry on then.

Hee! I used to watch him on The 4400.

Unpopular opinion I hate Lucy.

[ShadowHunter]

Bob Newhart you made me laugh. 

[vb68]

Hi Bob!!

(For people who remember The Bob Newhart Show!)

Bob Newhart. At least he’s not trapped in a plastic box with Only enough air for 3 hours. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I like Ben and Bob, but let's get this moving along.

[scarynikki12]

Bob kicking Stiller’s ass would be the greatest Emmy moment ever.

[AimingforYoko]

I figured it would be one of the Tonys, 'cause the Barry guys would cancel each other out.

[thuganomics85]

Eh, Tony Shalhoub is cool and all, but I was rooting for any of the Barry guys: especially Anthony Carrigan.  Maybe next time.

[scarynikki12]

I assume that Bob isn’t constantly working because he doesn’t want to. He’s still fucking hilarious. 

[Mystery]

Oh my stars, could it be any harder to find this forum? 

I love Bob Newhart. 

[vb68]

The Miss Maisel train is off and running.

[Misslindsey]

Sigh....I really did not love the second season of Mrs. Maisel. I started hating Midge during it. I will be underwhelmed with a Maisel sweep.

I need wine.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Ok that was kind of funny.

I love Barry, but I love Tony Shalhoub too, so it's all good.

And I love Maisel too.

[ebk57]

The speech ended up being kinda amusing

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Not even going to lie, I'm beyond excited for Disney+

[vb68]

How many does Shalhoub have now?

Wish they would spread the wealth more.

[scarynikki12]

I like Tony but I will never watch Maisel. I know how the Ps operate and have no intention of getting invested in another of their shows only for them to purposely fuck it up when they don’t get their way.

Yea and it didnt mention run too long either.

[mtlchick]

“It’s the Emmys but it’s also Fox so...yeah.”

the most accurate thing I will hear tonight.

I made sure mine was poured just before the start.  A lovely rose

[thuganomics85]

Ah, yes, Disney+ is here to take on the streaming services.  To borrow from good old Thanos:

"Let the heavens run red with yeedle, but in the end as always Disney stands ... Dread it. Run from it. Disney+ still arrives all the same."

I agree about the P's. I get so irritated when I see Amy in her damn quirky hat. I am waiting for them to run the show into the ground. They already made me dislike the main character.

I've gone with whiskey.  This is going to be brutal.  As proved by this fucking Family Guy promo in the middle of the ceremony.

With Disney and Apple in the mix next year, broadcast tv is hanging on by a thread  when It comes to award shows.  This is going to be an important season for the big 4. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Hey Jon Snow is actually looking good nowadays.

[ebk57]

What is Amy Poelher wearing??

I feel it is already becoming too much and sadly more will arrive. 

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Miss Maisel's probably dominating comedy again.  Enjoy the free food, Fleabag and Barry folks!

[scarynikki12]

I really don’t understand how SNL actors can compete in the regular comedy categories while the show as a whole doesn’t have to. 

[mtlchick]

Yup. Still not interested in Ms Maisel.

[Misslindsey]

I like Alex Borstein but I wanted Olivia Coleman to win.

[wallflower75]

Huh...so The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is 2-for-2 already.  Not sure I expected that.  Wonder if this means someone might dethrone Julia Louis-Dreyfuss tonight.
