The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[Macbeth]

He gave a great acceptance speech.  And you could tell  he was so surprised.

[Eureka]

I haven’t watched Unorthodox yet but it’s on my list. Never watched Schitt’s Creek either.

[mtlchick]

Bob Newhart is not looking good 😞 

[thuganomics85]

Freddie Highmore with a stubble is kind of unnerving.  But good for him!

Sorry, Margo, but after Justified, I don't think I would trust you around alcohol anytime!

I get it. The man had to give up alligator wrestling after all.

[Macbeth]

Omg Bob Newhart was great with giving up sky diving and alligator wrestling.

His comedic chops are always gold.  But wow- he is 91 years old.

That's "Ronnie" from the city council and Jazzagals - I don't know the actress's name though.

Oh thank you! I should have known it was her by her huge eyes! (I'm only on the second season of Schitt's Creek)

My husband hates tv but got hooked on Unorthodox when I was watching it. He now says it is the best tv he’s seen. Bob Newhart! Time is a bitch.

He's 91.  I think we need to lock him away with Betty White to keep them safe.

He can do drama, too. I still remember a very hard-hitting turn he did on ER years ago as a blind patient who had a crush on Dr. Lewis and was so devastated when she stood him up that he killed himself. It was such a shock to the system to see that!

After that speech, Ruffalo should get another Emmy.

Heck. How 'bout Ruffalo as Mandatory Advisor For Life to any POTUS. 

[thuganomics85]

Damn, I was hoping Jean Smart would finally win a trophy.

So the vodka in The Americans wasn’t a good idea?

[scarynikki12]

I love me some Jean Smart but I also love Uzo so I choose yay!

[Quickbeam]

I couldn’t watch Mrs America ( lived it!) but was hoping for Jean Smart, she was perfect.

[DollEyes]

I'm thrilled for Uzo, but I was hoping that Jean Smart would get an Emmy. A big, blue one.😉

I don't think Bob likes boxes much. 

 

[Eureka]

I was hoping the show would be a little shorter without some of the “comedy” bits that I don’t think are funny. Actually, I don’t think Jimmy Kimmel is ever funny, so I guess it’s my own problem that I tuned in, lol.

[thuganomics85]

Tough category and I think Mrs. America would taken it any other year, but Watchmen was just a dominating force and its wins are so well-deserved.

[scarynikki12]

Watchmen!

[ProudMary]

Watchmen was special. I'm SO glad it won!

[Macbeth]

Yes to Watchmen for winning limited series.  That show was just the best.

[thuganomics85]

Still crazy that a lot of people didn't know about the Tulsa Massacre until Watchmen came out.  And similar stories seem to be happening with Lovecraft Country right now, as well.

[PradaKitty]

Yeah...  this is not a very good show and I LOVE awards shows. 

[thuganomics85]

A lot of greats have left us this year, sadly.  And I still can't believe that Chadwick Boseman is no longer with us.

[DollEyes]

Love H.E.R. Loved "In Memoriam." Rest In Power to all mentioned.

[scarynikki12]

I know it's a bit but I honestly would believe that Aniston and Cox decided to quarantine together.

[DollEyes]

Meh on Tyler Perry. Like I always say, " Just because a billion people go to McDonald's, that doesn't mean that the food is gourmet."

[shapeshifter]

Tyler Perry was perfect and perfectly amazing.

[ProudMary]

On to (hopefully) all the awards for Succession.

A writer writes. Same with Lindenhoff.  They wrote great speeches with meaning.

I don't watch Succession. It seems good but it looks like all the characters don't like each other.

[thuganomics85]

So, apparently the Grey universe has become more intense than an episode of Game of Thrones!

Succession wins Actor, but it's actually Jeremy Strong instead of Brian Cox!

Edited September 21, 2020 by thuganomics85

[ProudMary]

Yes!!!

After Regina King, I wanted Jeremy Strong to win so much!

I think Cox's fiance has been stuck in Europe due to the travel ban so I would totally believe it. 

How 2020 that the Emmys are being delivered not by limo but in Kias.

[scarynikki12]

Bateman didn't win but it's sweet that he had his daughter there since she's too young to attend the traditional ceremony.

If only Perry's shows were as good as that speech.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I really like Tyler Perry as a person based on everything he does for the community.  His speech was great.  I do not enjoy his shows or movies however.

I really thought Cox and Strong would split the vote and Bateman would win. As a Strong fan, I'm glad that didn't happen.

[thuganomics85]

Oh, shit!  Zendaya!!

Edited September 21, 2020 by thuganomics85

[ProudMary]

OMG, Zendaya won!!!

[mtlchick]

Well now.  Jennifer Aniston rushed home for nothing! 

[scarynikki12]

ZENDAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALSO ZENDAYA'S PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shapeshifter]

I don't know Zendaya or "Euphoria," but she is wearing the first awards-ceremony-worthy dress I've seen tonight --IMO.
ETA: Although Laverne Cox is fine too.

Edited September 21, 2020 by shapeshifter

[Eureka]

I was hoping for either Laura or Olivia but my kids like Zendaya, so I’m fine with that.

[ProudMary]

I only watched the first couple of episodes of Euphoria, too heavy for me, but Zendaya was outstanding. I'm very happy for her.

[thuganomics85]

Great speech.  But I no at least one person who isn't happy.

J. Jonah Jameson:  "Zendaya?!  She's involved with Spider-Man!  Who is a menace!  This is unacceptable!"

 

Succession wins writing, of course.  Better Call Saul is never going to win anything, is it?

[DollEyes]

Zendaya's got an Emmy! Fuck the mirrorball!

[ProudMary]

Yay! The Succession season finale was terrific.

Me too, had to bail after a few eps but she was good. But I really thought it was Linney's year. Season 3 was her season!
