Oh Damn, I wanted Colbert or Bee to win, but it was a tough field.

I was rooting for Colbert or Meyers, just for the fact that the writers have to come up with (imo, excellent) stuff 4 days a week, as opposed to Bee or Oliver, which are both weekly shows.

You really have to appreciate the irony here: CBS is  the least diverse of the broadcast neworks.  And when they had a show with a racially and trans diverse cast, Doubt, they dumped it  after two episodes.

Almost makes you wonder if the comments promoting and celebrating diversity aren't intended as a subtle dig at CBS as a result?

I liked Oliver commenting on how tough the writers' jobs actually have been this year. Honestly, I would not be surprised to learn that the people who work on those shows have done a crapton of drinking and are feeling flat out exhausted by now.

Every year, the In Memoriam hits me when I realize just many of these greats have pasted away.  Bill Paxton (still not over that), Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Powers Boothe, John Hurt, and so many more.  But I think the one that is still raw is Nelsan Ellis.  He was way too young and I really thought he was destined for huge things.

Viola so needs a Grammy. I love the color of her dress. 

When I grow up, I want to be able to wear that dress like Viola. Woman must put in hours at the gym. 

 

How many days until How to Get Away with Murder?  I miss my Anneliese.

I've been doing & feeling both just from watching this year!

I usually hate in Memoriam segments but that one was beautiful. Also, holy shit Gwen Ifill died. Goddamnit.

I remember when they announced that. I didn't even know she had been sick. We had too many this year that were shocking.

Yeah. I'm in the D.C. area and it was very sad. And then longtime local broadcaster Jim Vance died this year too.
