It would explain Maya's choice in dresses. Only she'd have to have it before every awards show. 

For Maya this isn't too bad. 

Yay for Bill!! 

[AimingforYoko]

I gotta say, I always enjoyed Hader on SNL, but I did not see his star turn coming.

[thuganomics85]

Okay, the Ted Danson bit almost made it all worth it.

Hell yeah, Bill Hader!  I am loving how much his career is taking off now.  He seems on his way to having one of the best post-Saturday Night Live careers yet.

I just said something similar to DS, but this one for her is not too bad.

[ebk57]

Bill Hader - yay!!!

[scarynikki12]

Alright Emmy voters I’m giving you one year’s notice to vote for Eugene Levy. 

[Misslindsey]

I wanted Ted Danson, but I will take Bill Hader.

I thought the names bit was humorous. It was not hysterical funny or anything but I thought it was amusing.

The whole show is sweeping next year's "Trying Too Hard" category.

I think they learned the wrong things from the host free Oscars. 

[mojoween]

Oh my stars just give out the awards and stop with the schtick holy fuck.

Kardashians?  For real?  Why??

[Misslindsey]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the Kardashians! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

[vb68]

Yay Bill!

Still can't believe you don't have an Emmy for SNL but this one is richly deserved!

[PradaKitty]

Pull the announcer “bits” NOW!!

The lead-up was ugh, but the names bit was kind of funny.  It didn't look like any of the nominees were too upset.  And Bill Hader wins again.

[TVFan17]

Who IS the announcer?  Did I miss anyone saying who it is?  Whoever he is, his delivery of his lines could be much better...  It sounds like he didn't rehearse.

I agree about the lead-up. That was painful. The nominees seemed to find it funny, so I am fine with it. 

I like Barry, so I am glad Bill won. Stefon will always be one of my favorite SNL characters. I loved his love for Seth.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Mmm, Tom Payne.

really must watch Fleabag

Meh. Watched the first two episodes of Fleabag and didn't care for it </unpopular opinion>

I love Maisel <ibid> and Barry and Kominsky Method, so this is my first year to relate.

I concur.

Stephen generally always makes me happy. I love the "Stephen" chants.

[thuganomics85]

Ah, some of John Oliver's future victims (jinx?)

Honestly, this is probably a bit, but I'm with Colbert and Kimmel here.

[wallflower75]

Kimmel and Colbert, pointing out what we're all thinking right now...

Thank you!   I couldn't place the voice.

[scarynikki12]

Heh Stephen and Kimmel are funny. If only Stewart were with them. 

[vb68]

Jimmy Kimmel knows the truth!

"This show sucks!!"

[Mystery]

Jason Bateman was a good sport, with a good angry face. 

[wallflower75]

OH MY GOD!!!!  Phoebe Waller-Bridge for Lead Actress!!!!

[mtlchick]

Dang. Julia is denied history and it goes to the upstart! 

[AimingforYoko]

Minor upset, I figured JL-D was a lock. But Phoebe was everyone's second choice.

[thuganomics85]

Oh, shit, Phoebe Waller-Bridge!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Wrecking Ball? Huh?

[Misslindsey]

Yessssss Phoebe Waller-Bridge! 

I would have taken Julia as well. I loved Veep.

Edited September 23, 2019 by Misslindsey

[scarynikki12]

Phoebe!!

Catherine next year please. 

[Indigo Luna]

I'M SO HAPPY FOR PHOEBE AND FLEABAG ITS AMAZING 

[shantown]

The "no host" bit was the only actually fun bit so far.

Sad for JLD, but very happy for PWB!!

[vb68]

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss upset!

[ShadowHunter]

She has many awards. I'm good that someone else got it.  I like her a lot don't get me wrong but still nice to see a surprise win.

[KaveDweller]

I have never even heard of Fleabag show, I guess it is good?

[Misslindsey]

Vomit....The Kardashians.

[LisaM]

This show is terrible so far. The comedy bits are painful. The announcer is horrible. I thought it was disgraceful that they didn't read the nominees' names. 

[wallflower75]

*eyeroll*  Ugh.  Kardashians.  Pass.

[scarynikki12]

I get the Ks will do anything for fame and money but that doesn’t mean we should be encouraging them.

I don't know if you've seen him in "The Physician" which is where I first spotted him, but his curls in that movie making curly hair on a guy look sexy.

[Indigo Luna]

Kendall's dress answers the most pressing question, "What if Rubber Man from AHS decided to wear a dress?"

If it helps, "Fleabag" is truly meant to be unpleasant and offputting in the first season, especially the first few episodes.

I remember sort of watching through my fingers going, "Do I love this or hate it?" and then by the end of season 1, absolutely loving that incredible mess of a woman. And then came the incredible Season 2.

And I'm THRILLED for Phoebe with win #2 of the night!

I really like this kind of awards spread, when the same awards don't keep going to the same people year after year. This year's winners so far are fantastic.

Yeah, she'll just have to take comfort with her (checks notes) seven Emmys, loving family, and vast personal fortune.

[Misslindsey]

Yay! Drag Race!
