The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[thuganomics85]

Yep, all of the frontrunners are pretty much a lock now, baring any major twists.

[scarynikki12]

The Drama awards are reminding me how much I love Mandalorian.

Mindy said that Colbert's "a messy bitch."

I like the British satellite location. Are they all Crown people?

[SnarkShark]

Okay, ill give on Beyonce and stop bitching!  

 

Edit : for 60 seconds

The Crown winning is fine but would have liked to see Favreau claim that one.

[SnarkShark]

Still not funny.  Stop Ceddy.

[DollEyes]

Beyonce & Jay-Z's Tiffany's commercial was fabulous. Kim and Kanye could never-and hopefully, since they're divorced, they never will.

[Thumper]

Wonder how they determined how many could/would attend?  I like the table set-up, similar to the Golden Globes.

[thuganomics85]

Man, if they could actually recall Emmys, that would be dangerous!

[scarynikki12]

I’m fascinated by how clean that floor is.

[SnarkShark]

 

 

Gillian chose an 80% American accent this time.

It was down to The Iron Lady vs Princess Di, and The Iron Lady won.

[thuganomics85]

So, apparently most of the best supporting actresses are all on the same two shows.

But I figured it would be Gillian Anderson.  Between her and Meryl Streep, apparently playing Thatcher is a good way to get a trophy!

[wallflower75]

Is it wrong of me that I was already rolling my eyes even before Gillian Anderson's name was announced?

[Thumper]

Gillian looks great!  I didn’t care for her performance as The Iron Lady.

But not a huge fan of the Diana performance, either.

Both probably difficult to portray.

Stephen Colbert was funnier in 2 minutes than Cedric's been so far. 

Yay Gillian Anderson!

This was a great premise for a bit that just fell flat at the punch line.   At least for me.

[SnarkShark]

At least this is in the middle of the show instead of the end.  Exploiting dead guys is tiresome.

Actually, she knocked out Camilla and Princess Margaret.  The real showdown between Queen Elizabeth and Princess Di is coming.

[wonderwoman]

these multiple nominees in the same category from a single show are getting on my nerves. it seems as though once a show becomes a critical darling, everything else is shut out. 

[SnarkShark]

Da Crown.  Dead guy lost.  

[AimingforYoko]

Damn, The Crown really is going to win everything.

[thuganomics85]

Well, shit, I was pulling for Michael K. Williams even before his tragic passing.  He was amazing on Lovecraft Country.  But I certainly can't complain about Tobias Menzies winning since he's another actor I really love.

[wallflower75]

Okay, I was not expecting that!  Happy for Tobias since I've enjoyed him in both Outlander and Game of Thrones, but I really did think it was going to be Michael K. Williams.  And with that, I'm thinking that The Crown is going to have the clean sweep this year.

[SnarkShark]

Cruise commercial?  Are they KIDDING?  Or just insane?

[DollEyes]

Daniel Dae Kim is GORGEOUS.

[MerBearHou]

Chris Redd:  No, that’s my uncle.  He does the Wakanda sign but his wrists are kinda weak so they don’t go all the way up.

Kenan  Thompson: Well, that’s a waste of time.

Chris:  Where is Emmy?  When is she going to come to the event?

I chuckled.  They’re funny together, just sitting on the sofa, watching the show.

No.  I’m rolling my eyes whenever The Crown is in a category because I already know they’re going to win.  I knew Michael K. Williams didn’t win when Kerry Washington did that tribute to him.

[SnarkShark]

I didn't know Amber Ruffin got nommed. That's cool, even if she didn't stand a chance.

Oliver was predictable but not undeseved.

[thuganomics85]

So nice to see John Oliver outside The White Void!

Plus he doesn't appear to be aging.

[AimingforYoko]

Well-deserved. The amount of research they put into Oliver's show is insane.

[ShadowHunter]

Happy for Gillian Anderson.

Yes the Adam Driver joke is still going lol.

[ebk57]

Adam Driver knows what he did

 

Ha!

[scarynikki12]

Other than SNL it was a stacked category and Ollie and the team win again! Congrats to the Hottest Writers of Last Week Tonight!

[superdeluxe]

I miss Conan.

[DollEyes]

I wanna know what Adam Driver did.

Same!

I'm not sure I do...  😄

[SnarkShark]

Well Kaley really wanted to stand out.

Yes, we knew who'd win.  I actually for once was half rooting for Conan or Trevor.

[thuganomics85]

Wouldn't have minded Conan getting a trophy for his send-off, but I really can't argue against Last Week Tonight.

But, aww, John Oliver is giving Conan a shoutout!

[scarynikki12]

That yellow is garish. Go a shade darker next time Kaley.

Last Week Tonight again! Aww Ollie paying tribute to Conan.

[SnarkShark]

Ken Jeong in an unfunny joke?  How predictable.

[DollEyes]

Yay, John Oliver! If this doesn't convince Adam Driver to do a cameo, I don't know what will.

[wallflower75]

"Here are the nominees for best variety and sketch show...all two of them!!"

[ShadowHunter]

He did one already.

[SnarkShark]

Gee, they had basically no competition.  Of course Saturday Night Dead won.

[kittykat]

Boooo. I just wanted Michael K to win.
