The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[ebk57]

I Loooooove Billy Porter!!!

[Annber03]

So I haven't seen "Pose" (it's on my to watch list, though), but I've seen Porter in interviews and he seems really cool. Yay for him :). 

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats Billy Porter. Nice to feel the love for him in the room. 

[vb68]

GO Billy!!

The excitement in the room just zoomed up by about 110%!

[Misslindsey]

I admit I laughed at Thomas Lennon's joke about anyone who is sitting behind Billy to the left.

I always say "very interesting" like Arte Johnson and I had no idea where I had gotten it from. Still don't really know, some show that I must have seen at some point that made an impact. Funny how that works sometimes.

Dating myself, but "Very interesting...but stupid" was always a reliable go-to for my dad and me.

[mojoween]

Not mad about Billy, just wanted Kit to win so very much.

[shapeshifter]

Don't know Billy Porter, but love his speech

[mtlchick]

This is the only win I was hoping for. He is MAGIC.

TENS ACROSS THE BOARD. 

[irisheyes]

And the Emmy for “Most Excited Ever to Win an Emmy” goes to. . .

I’ve never seen Pose, but I just love Billy’s genuine emotion right there. 

[Misslindsey]

Yay Jason Bateman! Amazing! 

[ECM1231]

Timothy Hutton has not aged well.

[thuganomics85]

Good speech. 

And while he might carry with him a sense of arrogance, I can't deny that Ryan Murphy is talented and really does seem to inspire loyalty from almost everyone he works for.  

Game Thrones loses director?  More splitting issues?  Jason having the edge for the whole "actor turned director appeal?"  Or could there be some kind of upset.

[wallflower75]

Whoa!  I was not expecting the directing Emmy to go to Jason Bateman!!

So GoT lost out in writing and directing...anyone else smelling upset in Best Drama?

[mtlchick]

Does this mean I have to try finishing ozark? I stopped midway this season. 

[galaxygirl76]

Yes! Love Jason Bateman!

[Popples]

Seeing Timothy Hutton makes me miss Leverage.

[scarynikki12]

I loved The Long Night (yes it was physically dark and no it didn’t bother me) because Sapo is my favorite GOT director so I was rooting for him. 

Haven’t seen Ozark so I’ll assume the best since it won.

I thought he looked fine on Leverage, but that was like seven years ago.

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats Jason. From Valerie then The Hogan Family he was a part of my childhood.

[mojoween]

What a bummer.  David Nutter is so good and this was his last chance for GoT.

I give Jason Bateman a side-eye for a truly terrible interview he did last spring? I think where he was pretty dismissive of ... shit her name is escaping me now ... Jessica ? from Arrested Development.

[vb68]

Jason Bateman wins for...directing.

Don't know if I ever expected that.  Feels a little ironic, but definitely cool.

[Mystery]

I was happy about Jason Bateman until I heard that one of his kids is called Maple. 

[scarynikki12]

Ugh go away GOOP.

Yeah I still feel bad about that. Jessica Walter, a woman whose grace and class and career blows everyone else on Arrested Development's cast away. 

[Popples]

With the exception of the sleeves, I kind of like Gwenyth's (I don't know if that's spelled correctly) dress.

[mojoween]

Of course Gwyneth Paltrow wears a stupid dress that allows for no freedom of movement walking across a long stage.

[wallflower75]

WOW!  Jodie Comer wins over Sandra Oh!  (Appropriate music choice this time!)

[Ms Lark]

Jodie! Shriek!!! Awesome.

[kittykat]

Congratulations Mr Director.

We just say Director.

[Misslindsey]

Jodie Comer! She is very good in Killing Eve. I wanted Sandra Oh, but think Jodie has the better role acting-wise.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Jodie Comer's plus one seemed like she got trapped in a spray tanning booth.

[thuganomics85]

Knew it was long shot, but I was hoping Emilia Clarke would win, because while she admittedly could be hit or miss throughout the show, she really brought it home this final season.  But now this means Dinklage is the only actor to win for GOT, which just feels odd since the entire cast is so talented.

Then again, I remember that Jon Hamm's sole win was the only acting award Mad Men ever got.

[scarynikki12]

Nice win for Comer.

I thought she was holding onto a marble egg in -- you know.

I got you beat.  I watched him on Little House when he got to watch his parents tumble down the hill to their deaths. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Yesssss. Breaking Bad.

[Misslindsey]

I do not think it will happen, but I would like anything to upset Maisel. Anything.

[thuganomics85]

Oh, yeah, the Breaking Bad movie!  Part of me wants to be worried, but I have faith in Vince Gilligan and crew, especially after they managed to make Better Call Saul be more than just merely a prequel.

[TVFan17]

Yes, El Camino commercial!  Woo hoo!

I was thinking the same thing.

And oh hell...El Camino is coming soon!!!

[sara416]

That's it for El Camino??? I thought we'd get a little more than that! I've been waiting all night for that preview!

I think I read somewhere that he is the only actor who has ever won for GoT.

[dbell1]

Jesse Pinkman!!!

[Celia Rubenstein]

Jodie Comer YEZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

I like Maisel but I really want the Good Place to win. I don't think it will but I wish it would.

Aw, but you can love the cast, right?

Do you not like it, or are you just tired of the hype?

I watched part of the first season. I really liked what I saw, but never went back to it.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

GOOP looked like someone had pasted a black bar across her dress, as if her breasts were showing and editing had to cover them.

[Wildcard]

I really like Maisel but I would be ecstatic if Russian Doll pulled the upset. That was a complete enjoyable surprise.
