The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[wallflower75]

What the hell is Sarah Paulson wearing?

[thuganomics85]

Stacked category to say the least.  Was hoping for an Elizabeth Olsen upset, but I figured it would be Kate Winslet.  Feel kind of bad for Anya Taylor-Joy because I suspect it would have been hers any other year.

[MerBearHou]

Tough category - glad for Kate Winslet but wow…

Quick question - who’s the man in the white strapless dress?  I don’t know him and he has had a ton of screen time.

As I said when the noms came out, this category was B-A-N-A-N-A-S. However, not surprised Kate took it.

[ShadowHunter]

Kate Winslet awesome. This was a tough category.

[galaxygirl76]

I tried to watch her show but lost interest about 3 episodes in.

Hollywood loves movie actors on TV.

[phalange]

*sigh* WandaVision’s gonna get shut out isn’t it? I do like Kate Winslet, but I really wanted Elizabeth Olsen to get this one.

[scarynikki12]

Not surprised that it’s Kate but I was so hoping for Elizabeth Olsen.

[thuganomics85]

Holding hands with your husband, Kate?!  How scandalous!

[Artsda]

Why is Kate Winslet acting shocked? She's Kate Winslet. Lol.  She's won Oscars, this is an Emmy. 

[kittykat]

Really pulled for Elizabeth but Marvel was never going to win against all that merrderr derrderring.

It made her look ten times bigger than she actually is.

Cynthia Erivo and Michaela Cole look amazing in their short hair, and it’s not fair, really.

And now I'm going to hell because when she said that I thought, "Well, you'll hold his hand until you decide to end the relationship."

[DollEyes]

Yes, Kate! It was a tough category, but she pulled it off.

[thuganomics85]

And Wandavision is shut-out....

[wallflower75]

People actually watched Halston?

[AimingforYoko]

Ewan MacGregor? I like him, but that Halston biopic was ehh....

The Academy is getting revenge on them for that Evan Peters twist.

[scarynikki12]

Haven’t seen it but I enjoy Ewan so yay!

[MerBearHou]

I thought Halston was really bad.  I like Ewan - his tuxedo shoes look like clown shoes!

Are we on schedule for this to end around 1:30am Eastern?

[kittykat]

Yeah I actually called this one.  Still hoping Paul Bettany would pull off the win.  At least they won a few in the creative category.

I did and Ewan was good, but IMO he wasn't the best.

I'm just circling the airport here on the West Coast until the Ken Burns doc on Ali comes on in a half-hour...

[Cotypubby]

Does anyone know who the black guy in the strapless white dress is? He kept standing for the Hacks people and getting a lot of screen time. He looks familiar but I don’t know who he is.

[SnarkShark]

Another.

 

Skit.

[galaxygirl76]

Oh come the fuck on now.

[Cotypubby]

I can’t anymore with these stupid skits. Who even are these people!?

[FilmTVGeek80]

We don't have time for this! Read the room or a clock for heaven's sake!

Pointless, pointless, pointless skit...but all three women did look fab!

Edited September 20, 2021 by FilmTVGeek80

[MerBearHou]

I have muted my TV a LOT in this show.

[mojoween]

The skits are obvs terrible but the lady in red yelling at Cedric looked super gorgeous (I didn’t see her name in time).

[Cotypubby]

Oh ok, well that answers that. He’s on Hacks.

Maybe the Emmy folks had a contest where viewers could submit award show skits?  Hard to imagine them being crafted by professionals.

[scarynikki12]

I do like the skit ending with the tv wives going to look for Rege.

[shantown]

Are Cedric the Entertainer sitcoms that well-known and enduring that this skit makes sense to anyone?

You know when the announcer is supposed to be acknowledged?  In the end credits, they say goodbye and give their name.

But not on THIS broadcast apparently. Just waste more time, why don't they?

[thuganomics85]

Oh, shit!  Olivia Colman!  Thought it was going to be Emma Corrin, but I certainly won't complain!

Edited September 20, 2021 by thuganomics85

[scarynikki12]

Olivia!!!!!

[Tess23]

Thank goodness for the Chiefs/Ravens game - just a quick flick of the remote whenever this in between categories nonsense comes on. 

[Lady Whistleup]

Ugh I love Olivia Colman but I never took to her Queen E. I wanted Emma Corrin to win for Diana.

Terri Vaughn.

That sketch would've worked if at the end, Rege' Jean-Page was hiding backstage.

[wallflower75]

And suddenly we've run out of time for small clips from the nominees?  FFS, cut a couple of skits!!!

Olivia Colman!  I was expecting Emma Corrin to win, but looks like the Queen beats the Princess tonight.

[MerBearHou]

That woman in the yellow hat is ready for a Mrs. Maisel swim in the pool. What??? 

OMG - that’s Emma Corrin!

Yes.  He played the CEO of Jean Smart's character's company. 

[Macbeth]

I love Olivia Coleman - so happy she won.

[scarynikki12]

Everyone continues to adore Olivia.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Uzo Aduba was way better than Olivia Colman.  Olivia was so background this year.

I was trying to find out the same thing right when they gave him a shout out. Carl Clemons-Hopkins
