Cedric is dressed like he's going to a 1972 prom.

There's still next year.

[thuganomics85]

Heh, thanks to Seth Rogen, they had to send Cedric to be all "I swear, we're all fully vaxxed here, folks!"

[ShadowHunter]

Moderna is Macy's. Okay that was funny lol.

My impression is that Reggie is supposed to be some kind of genius, but I've never enjoyed him. OTOH, squeeing at the Survivor ad!

He was okay when Scott Aukerman was writing everything he said.

Ugh Cedric.  I've seen you be funny.  This is not it.

[scarynikki12]

Team Pfizer! 

[SnarkShark]

Cedric, you're dying up there.  That's polite laughter.

[SoMuchTV]

I hope it’s okay to go slightly off topic to say that if you have a target rewards account (free to sign up) they have a 4-month free Apple TV trial. Plenty of time to binge Ted Lasso. Look under something like “partner offers”. 

[DollEyes]

"Johnson & Johnson is TJ Maxx?" More like J.C. Penney.

[DearEvette]

Very happy for the Lasso winners so far.  And hell yeah, Roy Fucking Kent.  But I agree about Andre Braugher  he has been consistently overlooked at Emmy time in his career.

As I said on another board yesterday, I could recap tonight's show before it even aired - Ted Lasso is going to sweep the Comedy categories and The Crown is going to sweep in the Drama categories.

There you go, night complete. And these first two awards are not convincing me I was wrong. 

Expand  

And Queen’s Gambit will sweep the Limited Series categories.  That’s what going to happen tonight.  It’s going to get boring fast.

BONE!!! He's got one more year the win it since S8 qualifies for next year.

[wallflower75]

 I am still puzzled over how the hell Hamilton was considered for both Emmy and Oscar consideration.  I thought they stopped letting them do that?

[SnarkShark]

Knew they'd never give it to a marvel show...

[thuganomics85]

Hoping it would be Kathryn Hahn, but I heard great things about Julianne Nicholson in Mare of Easttown, so I'm not surprised.

As much as I loved getting to finally see Hamilton, it is weird seeing this being eligible for Emmys...

That's your Canary in the Coal Mine, expect Mare of Easttown to clean up in the Limited category.

Pretty sure it wasn’t considered for Oscar consideration because it never got any kind of theatrical release and went to streaming instead which falls under TV.

I know their noms are ridiculous here, but damn if the little clips didn’t make me want to watch it again.

Yes they're playing her off.  Sorry, she was getting boring.  For once I agree with the playing off.

[kittykat]

Julianne was definitely a surprise win.  I figured it was between Kathryn Hahn and Jean Smart.

Not too sure about that though. I think the weird timing may end up hurting it. By that I mean Mare of Eastown, which came out a lot later and so is more recent in voters' mind, may end up stealing its thunder. 

Anya was amazing but she's now up against Queen Kate Winslet. So that may be a toughie. And it's kind of the same thing that happened to Normal People.

It had so much buzz and strength but by the time award season rolled around, The Queen's Gambit had stolen its thunder.

eta: And I see I'm right about Mare of Eastown stealing their thunder as they are now 2 for 2. Btw, I adore Evan Peters and have for years but I saw Mare of Eastown and I'm not sure I agree with that win.

Vanessa Lachey at the Emmys is like a block of wood at the Emmys.

You're right--I got confused with the Golden Globes, where it did get nominations.

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Mare of Eastown is going to dominated the limited series category.  Sorry, Wandavision and The Queen's Gambit.

[DollEyes]

Happy for Julianne Nicholson, but her acceptance speech had almost as many words as she's got freckles.

Yay Evan Peters!

[AimingforYoko]

Hollywood loves a good HBO prestige drama.

[cmahorror]

Kathryn Hahn was robbed. I watched both Mare of Easttown and WandaVision and there is no doubt, to me, that the more nuanced and important performance was Agnes/Agatha. To be honest, I cannot even remember Julianne Nicholson's character's name. The character was kind of background until the final episodes.

Yeah for Evan Peters!!! So deserved - his performance was the heart of the show. It wasn't the same once his character's arc was done.

Edited September 20, 2021 by cmahorror

[SnarkShark]

So screaming about Kate Winslet is a thing?  Great.

 

Shut up Reggie.

[scarynikki12]

Now I’m worried that Wandavision won’t win anything.

All five nominated performances are outstanding in that category.  Well deserved whichever woman wins 

Woohoo recast Pietro.  Was rooting for Evan!

 

[ShadowHunter]

Evan Peters!! I've loved him S1 of American Horror Story. So happy.

[mojoween]

Oh ok the DJ is going to do different voices every break a little advanced warning would have been nice.

They've already won a couple. Design and costuming, I think.

I kept trying to remember where I'd heard of him before and finally caved to the Wikipedia gods.  I watched him on "Invasion" about 15 years ago, so yay!!

They won a few creative ones with the fantastic earworm Agatha All Along winning best song.  At this point, Elisabeth is the best bet and that category is TOUGH!

Same. I’m sure Mare of Easttown is deserving (I haven’t seen it) but I’m gonna be so pissed if WandaVision gets nothing tonight. 

[ShadowHunter]

"Id like to thank Kate Winslet for being Kate Winslet" I love Evan even more now.

[thuganomics85]

So, Rose McIver is no longer a zombie, but apparently dealing with ghosts now on her new CBS show.  I guess she'll tackle vampires next!

I liked the way Wilmer Valderrama turned to Vanessa Lachey when it was time to announce the winner and he asked her, "Together?" 
It felt like a post-Me-Too moment to me. 

[LisaM]

These Cedric gags are embarrassing. 

[SnarkShark]

Can Star Wars win where Marvel didn't?

 

Nope.

[DollEyes]

Get Mindy Kaling to host next year!

[thuganomics85]

Figured The Crown was taking writing.  Was rooting for The Mandalorian just because no one in the room(s) would have known how to react to that.

[SnarkShark]

I will say I like the energy better not being in a huge amphitheater. If only Cedric and Reggie weren't tanking.

[scarynikki12]

I enjoy The Crown but the only win I’d get excited about is an Olivia Coleman win. Glad they’re having fun.

[AimingforYoko]

The Crown's gonna win a few of these as well. That acceptance was nice and British.

[SHD]

What did Mindy say about Colbert?

[SnarkShark]

The Yawn...  Crown.  Yawn.
