The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

[wallflower75]

Can't wait to hear what he said there at the end.

How did they get the information (thank yous) to scrawl across the bottom of the screen for Sheryl Ralph while she was singing?  Did she/they know ahead of time?

[kittykat]

"Hey now Roy, how about a heartwarming speech for the---"

NO!

Appears nominees may have submitted them, since they were there for Brett too.

[thuganomics85]

Hmm, I wonder if instead of the orchestra playing people off if speeches play too long, they're planning on using the Squid Game doll to make people get off the stage?!

[wallflower75]

And SNL wins aga...zzzzzzz

[Avabelle]

After years of watching and listening to everyone’s impression of Lorne I’ve finally heard him speak..

[thuganomics85]

Uh oh!  The whole Only Murders in the Building are all here, so a murder might be happening real soon!!!

[scarynikki12]

I love Steve and Martin together and Selena being the straight man works much better than I ever thought.

[Avabelle]

I love Only Murders in the beginning - Steve and Martin are soooo funny and Selena is oddly a great fit with them.

[truthaboutluv]

At this point, the only way any other show is winning this category is if John Oliver decides to walk away like Jon Stewart did. 

[scarynikki12]

Another win for Last Week Tonight. I think Ollie was more excited to meet Steve and Martin but I think most people would be.

[thuganomics85]

Last Week Tonight wins again and according to the scroll, they are going to make sure to tell Oscar Isaac hi for us.  In other words, we're the real winners here!

[DollEyes]

Cheers to John Oliver! Elaborate cabbage weddings for everyone!

[kittykat]

I love LWT but I would like to see Trevor Noah claim one for his run.

[wallflower75]

WTF is that?

[Good Queen Jane]

Is it just me but are all the presenters really shiny? Makeup!

I feel like everyone is super red. Maybe it’s my TV. 

[thuganomics85]

I don't think I'm ever going to get use to Freddie Highmore's normal accent again.

Figured it was going to be Jennifer Coolidge.  Stacked category though.

[scarynikki12]

Jennifer Coolidge!!!! She's a gem (and looks like one).

[wallflower75]

That is quite a dress!!

[truthaboutluv]

Yeah Limited has gone pretty much as expected. Good for Jennifer Coolidge. 

[DollEyes]

Jennifer Coolidge is fierce, brilliant and adorable! Love her!

[wallflower75]

I was about to ask why they didn't have a list of people she wanted to thank, and then she started dancing.

[scarynikki12]

No surprise Amanda won but still exciting. She's always great.

[SoMuchTV]

Does anyone know if the version streaming on peacock is the un-bleeped version?

If Amanda wins lead that will definitely be all the favorites.

Aaaand there it is!

Have there been any surprises so far tonight, except for maybe Sheryl Lee Ralph's win?

[Thumper]

I have only seen about two of these shows., but I like to watch anyhow.

Jennifer Coolidge was so funny!

[DollEyes]

Amanda Seyfried won? To quote Mean Girls, "Duh!"

[scarynikki12]

Awww Lizzo!

[wallflower75]

LIZZO!!!!!!!

[scarynikki12]

Now WHY is Lizzo not allowed to accept her trophy on the stage?

[truthaboutluv]

Based on the number of nominations it got, I had a feeling Drag Race was about to be dethroned by Lizzo. Also honestly, I didn't really enjoy the last season of Drag Race that much. 

[Cotypubby]

Whatever music they were just playing is terrible.

[thuganomics85]

Nice to hear Reservation Dogs get mentioned.  Now, it only it would get nominated for anything....

lol, that was Lizzo's song 

Hmm, didn't even know Geena Davis was being honored. 

[Cotypubby]

Is that Sarah Paulson!? Jesus Christ she is practically unrecognizable.

Nope. 

[wallflower75]

Ironic that this award is being presented now, right after Lizzo said that when she was growing up, she wanted to see someone who looked like her on television.

Matthew McFayden was a good surprise but then that category was so stacked that I don't think there was a clear favorite.

[FoundTime]

I just realized the Emmys are on on a...Monday night?! WTF? Now that I've missed the first hour and a half 😠 Thank dog for you guys, you're how I'll catch up 😍

[thuganomics85]

Mike White takes directing!  Big win for The White Lotus!

[KittenPokerCheater]

I loved that Lizzo said "I hate this fucking dress" while she was trying to make her way up there.  At least I think that is what she said.

I figured that they did it on Monday because yesterday was 9/11.

And I know Mike White had a career before he did Survivor, but it's hard for me to remember that.

And for the weird kids who love their parents.

[movingtargetgal]

What channel are they on?

[kittykat]

Mike White can't win reality shows but he can win Emmys!

Mel must be so proud!

Get your ass back on stage, Mike White!
