Official 2019 Emmys Thread: Part 2

How about that Chernobyl win!!!!!!!!!!

Slow OP is slow.

Part 1 at the link.

I'm pretty sure this thread is more entertaining than the actual show.

is there any other part 2 threads?

I repeat, nuclear radiation is having a great night.

Sorry I didn't make the part 2 in time, everyone! I'm high and was rapt by the CHERNOBYL WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Lin-Manuel Miranda? Uggh.

Next year Phoebe WB and Bill Hader should host the Emmy's.

This show is a piece of schitt

R4 yes, but the other thread has a grammatical error in the title, so I'm using this one.

What awards are we on now? Sorry not near a tv.

Who's singing? He's not good.

Or this guy singing the V A R I E T Y song should host.

So Lin KNEW he was gonna be presenting, but still needed to get screen time during Michelle Williams' win?

What an embarrasing musical number

Okay, I could do without this musical number...

R13, no, he shouldn’t.

Adam Devine tried

Um, yeah. Uh huh. r17

What the hell is this homosexual nonsense? I hate musical numbers so much.

Glad to see Seth Meyers nominated.

Some good wins tonight, but the show itself — presenter speeches and interludes — is a snowball of shit, gathering more shit on the way down.

Did they dispense with an executive producer along with a host?

[quote]So Lin KNEW he was gonna be presenting, but still needed to get screen time during Michelle Williams' win? '

He produced her show, they were sitting together and he helped her up the stairs. You don't have to hate him for everything.

Was Jimmy Fallon shut out AGAIN??? HAHAHAHAHAHA Good

I love John Oliver, but I really wanna see Samantha Bee win this one day.

This crowd is wild.

Seth Meyers was there talking shit and then the camera went on him so he turned his face lmaoooo

Jimmy Fallon should be shut out of everything.

How long has John Oliver been dominant in this category?

I miss when the Emmys presented Comedy/Variety Writing with funny clips to accompany the laundry lists of nominees.

Jimmy Fallon is awful. So happy that ever since hes taken over the show its been a flop

When did this show get this bad.

I think this is his 5th in a row.Not sure.

Did Constance Wu refuse to show up to the Emmys now that shes a movie star?

I almost thought they were going to say Sarah Silverman.

Agreed, r28.

Ucch, Drunk History was robbed!

SNL did not deserve this. Oh well...

Ugh, Loren is such a pompous, boated turd. What would Belushi say about what he's become?

R34 I bet Randall is glad he didn't have to present with her ungrateful ass.

I love Sarah Silverman lowkey

SNL? So stale and tired.

hot mess cringe-fest all around. loving it

Loved the wig on Jon Hamm

Okay Lorne.

Say goodnight.

Get the fuck off the stage.

You're right, Lorne: it's just so sad Chris Farley choked to death on his own vomit.

SNL must have submitted the John Mulaney episode. There's no other explanation for this win.

R30 ME TOO!!! Oh I loved that so much... showed off the individuality and eccentricity of the various writers rooms. That was back when Conan was nominated. Conan was my favorite.

*Lorne*

SNL really??

It's funny as they name all these nominated hosts and they have no host for their show.

With all these surprises I still think Succession could take it tonight.

Lorne Michaels has Larry King Dry Mouth Weird Tongue Syndrome

I like musical numbers, but they need to be GOOD.

No, Lorne said it was the Adam Sandler episode. He got all maudlin. I never could stand Adam Sandler.

Another Emmy for Lindsay Shookus.

[quote]SNL must have submitted the John Mulaney episode. There's no other explanation for this win.

Lorne said they submitted the Sandler episode, though Mulaney was obviously better. It was a good strategic move considering the tribute to Farley at the end, and how much that would likely affect voters.

It sounds like the big trend this year is to use your Emmy win to wring tears for someone dead, no matter when that death happened.

If I won, I'd start weeping over Lillian Gish. "Taken away TOO SOON!"

American Son looks awful and Kerry Washington’s performance looks painfully bad.

Fucking hell. The Sandler episode was a piece of shit. Just like everything else Sandler touches.

Unpopular Opinion... I never found Chris Farley or Phil Hartman funny

[quote]I love Sarah Silverman lowkey

Me too. She's great in the Wreck It Ralph films.

They filmed American Son? I wanna see that.

Shookus?

Loved the Lola Heatherton Dancers!

[quote][R30] ME TOO!!! Oh I loved that so much... showed off the individuality and eccentricity of the various writers rooms. That was back when Conan was nominated. Conan was my favorite.

As Emmy awards skits go, these were the funniest, imho. My favorite was for "Da Ali G Show", where the clips were all closeups of male porn stars' "o-faces".

R60 Big Daddy begs to differ

I’m surprised that Lorne didn’t say “Sorry that we hired a racist a few weeks ago”

R66 Hahaha, I remember that one. I think one was done with all muppets... can't remember which show it was.

I don’t find Cedric entertaining.

It's Deputy Leo!

No but he's jolly and lovable.

Max is so cute.

Where's Max Greenfield been? He was once nominated for an Emmy.

Max Greenfield. I find him "cute" in a weird way

Another reference to the dead in an acceptance speech!

R74 hes on a sitcom now.

Anyone else think Primetime is killing the Emmy threads. We'd usually be on part 3 or 4 by now.

Or is this site just not as popular as it used to be.

r74 he has a show on CBS with Cedric

r78 There is no Primetime in effect right now.

Here she is with her big black check mark on her head.

I'm still wondering why Lord Varys and Bran weren't on the stage.

Except for the hat, Billy looks great

The foreigners are beating our ass tonight.

That hat is fucking obnoxious.

Yuck

Did anyone see David Benioff or Dan Weiss? No photos, nothing from the audience. Are they still in hiding? Because Gwen and Emilia sure got loud applause when they were introduced.

Why is John Oliver winning all the awards? His show sucks.

Damn Taraji B Henson wore her nightgown to the emmys.

More red and pink on Taraji. Was a dress code announced?

I believe you mean the Juul Haalmeyer dancers, r65.

Taraji P. Henson's sartorial tribute to "I Dream of Jeannie" is so touching.

[quote]I'm still wondering why Lord Varys and Bran weren't on the stage.

Just the nominated cast members.

John Oliver wins again for shouting at the choir.

Why would you ever thank your kids, wtf?

So there's an "In Memoriam" for SHOWS, now?

Who gives a fuck how sad those millionaire sitcom stars are?

Whats up with the red and pink combo tonight?

Broad City was iconic.

Where were the tributes for all my shows???

yes, R96, for shows that have passed on to syndication.

Another great episode of Succession tonight.

Was "Orange is the New Black" included in that little montage? I don't think I saw it.

Why don't they let Kit Harington present? I just want to see him walk across that stage and then pause so everyone can just look at him.....

Watchmen looks like a fiasco.

Maisie and Alfie look good. Alfie cleans up really nice.

Fuck that straight white nonsense Succession. There's a separate thread for that foolishness, take it there.

Haha, Watchmen could be good! I like all the middle age+ people dressing up as super heroes.

r105 I've got a bad feeling about it as well.

You mean to see if he falls down drunk, r104?

Okay then r80 I guess DL is just dead.

Maybe we can get one of the next Emmy winners to mention it in their speech.

Even without a host this show feels interminable.

45 minutes to go!

“Thank you for watching television.”

Viola Davis’ sneakers are despicable.

Viola Davis is wearing an Angela Davis wig!

FAR OUT!

Viola! WTF?

Viola looks awful

Viola's shoes make her walk funny.

She sloped on that stage like a crack whore.

Why is Viola walking funny?

I sense Viola doesn't want to be there.

The category-frauding dwarf AGAIN? Sickening.

Why do they keep giving him these awards? He wasnt that great in this last season. At least he cant win next year.

They're quickly lowering the microphone about three feet.

When I watched [italic]Wiseguy[/italic] back in the 80s, I never would've guessed Jonathan Banks would've had such an enduring career. Not that he doesn't deserve it; he's certainly a solid actor. But not pretty.

Hes wonderful on GOT. Stop hating

Dinklage’s accent alone on GoT is horrendous.

Viola? She look like a man

Does he get a midget Emmy statue?

He’s won FOUR TIMES R127. Spread the fucking wealth.

I just got the vibe Gwendolyn Christie isn’t a fan of Dinklage.

What did they bleep from Dinklage? Any guesses?

I was rooting for Giancarlo :-(

I wonder if he'll thank The Munchkins for paving the way for little people in Hollywood.

He certainly should have been in Lead this past season or two, instead he went for the easy win in Supporting.

Did Cherry Jones buy her suit at Wal-Mart?

Love Cherry Jones.

The Dink is awesome on GOT.

Haters can blow me!

[quote]I just got the vibe Gwendolyn Christie isn’t a fan of Dinklage.

She and Nikolaj are close, she was probably rooting for him.

My god, this guy on stage right now is so beautiful.

No one wants to blow you. We know you're a frau. Go give your kids a bath or something.

D&D lost, there is a god

I'm living for the Cherrynaissance, to be honest.

What is it with all these potty-mouths having to be bleeped tonight?

The GOT writers lost. I'm happy.

Is Dink the Midget the only acting winner for GOT ever? lol

I'm going to guess

Best Comedy Series: Fleabag (Yay!)

Best Drama Series: Game of Thrones (Totally undeserved)

But Succession is not going to win this year, and if Killing Eve were going to get it, it would have gotten traction with the more minor awards.

R145- anti-Trump stuff censored by FOX?

The Succession writer is cute. I'm definitely feeling that. I'll watch his show.

Yep r147.

Perhaps he can write some blacks and gays into the show now that he has seen some in the audience and on the stage.... 🙄

Four fucking nominees from GoT in one category?

The superior Garner in Hollywood gets something the Bible cunt never could: an Emmy.

Ooh, love that Dre’s!

Did all those GOT ladies cancel eachother out?

And Dinklage didn't deserve to win. It's like he got lazy with his performance the longer the show went on.

WooHoo!! Succession won Benioff and Weiss.

I have no idea who this is.

“Our family knows first hand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves, telling their stories, unfiltered and unscripted,” Kim said on stage, causing laughter to break out among the famous audience.

She was great as Kimmy in The Americans

Is Garner a surprise???

Succession could definitely beat GoT.

Aw, this girl is just 25. Good for her.

Well, I guess I need to watch Fleabag, Succession and Ozark. I started watching Season 2 of Maisel and stopped but I guess I can start it up again.

Nervous? HAH! This is show business, young lady!

Garner is simply amazing in Ozark.

It's so sweet this little girl won--this is a real acceptance speech, not a cheap bid for laughs.

R152 You have never been around the mega rich, have you?

I first saw her in Martha Marcy May Marlene... anyone remember that film?

Yes go Julia Garner!

25 is an adult even though she's up there sounding like a child.

Garner is so gracious and cute

CLEARLY Laura Linney has no interest in mentoring Garner.

Garner thanked Jason Bateman at the top and threw Laura in as an afterthought.

Is Laura Linney a jealous bitch?

Garner was leading at Gold Derby but a lot of people were expecting Headey.

She really was cute.

r169 Ben Carson is black. Now go fuck off to the Succession thread.

Kit and Emilia won't win in Lead so Dink goes down in history as the only acting winner on that shitshow.

So her last name is pronounced “Heedee”? Huh.

Did they remake Misery?

Garner is very talented. She’s one to watch.

I thought Headey would win but I also knew the GOT women would cancel each other out... too many.

Gwendoline shouldnt have been nominated

I feel bad for Maisie and Lena. IMO they deserved to win something. Sophie and Gwen 's characters weren't that demanding in comparison.

Headey would have won had they just written a good episode for her this season.

It's tough when you have 15 leads on a show.

Gwen deserved the nomination and had the most acclaimed scene in the final season. Turner’s nomination was the joke.

Never watched 911 but that tsunami looks GOOD.

Chernobyl was robbed in the acting categories... glad to see it clean up writing/directing/series though.

Headey spent most of this season drinking wine while standing on her balcony.

It's hard to stand out when that many are nominated from the same show. That being said, I though they'd go for Maisie since she had that big moment with the Night King and that could emotionally have worked for them... but Gwendolyn clearly has tons of fans in that room, so she likely garnered votes...

Whatever the case, Garner had a passionate enough fanbase to best all of them. Congrats to her!

Next year, Ryan Murphy’s The Politician will sweep all categories!

Hooray, dead people!

[quote]Headey would have won had they just written a good episode for her this season.

Headey couldn’t even win with her best material in season 5&6. The academy just didn’t like that character/performance.

Brenda Jankins!

Regina King is a class act.

Headey didn't have shit to do most of the season and was barely in it. But she did great with what she was given. Not enough for an award for this last season anyway.

Headey literally did nothing in the final season. She wore the same expression throughout the series, actually. That scowl... she never did anything else.

Well, I'm finally a part of the in memorium slideshow.

Ugh Halsey's voice annoys the SHIT out of me!

oh god, what's this? Was Cyndi Lauper unavailable?

Ross Mathews, Emmy winner!

This is lovely.

Who's singing?

[quote]Chernobyl was robbed in the acting categories... glad to see it clean up writing/directing/series though.

The acting on Chernobyl was powerful, but perhaps ultimately too understated to garner enough passionate votes. The acting on that show was incredible across the board. I wish that Jessie Buckley had also been nominated, especially considering how many nominees some of these categories have. Couldn't have thrown her a bone?

I'm happy for it though. The Emmys really respected the show. It really was one of the finest shows I've seen in quite some time.

Oh look, Halsy has recycled Demi Moore's outfit from the Oscars long ago!

Stop clapping, people!

Halsey is singing

They should have used a 90210 clip for Luke Perry.

Well, THOSE are ugly tattoos.

A really nice and appropriate cover by Halsey.

Stan Lee got more applause than Valerie Harper. This clearly is not a Datalounge room.

halsey is just ugly in general

Why were neither Laverne nor Shirley nominated for Emmys? Was it just not that kind of show? Not beloved in its time? Not highbrow enough? What's the deal?

Honestly... love this song. Forever reminds me of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. Respect.

Surprised Carol Channing was last instead of Valerie Harper.

Halsey didn't embarrass herself. She also didn't embarrass herself when she hosted SNL. I don't even really know who she is, but this is basically the only exposure of her that I've had. I also saw her in that BTS music video... but that was ultimately trivial.

Laverne and Shirley was a hit but low brow comedy that critics nor voters took seriously

Why were Gloria Vanderbilt and Nancy Wilson in the Emmy memorial?

R216, or Penny Marshall.

Dayum, alot of dead people

r216, I think they were avoiding the usual practice of "Most Important Goes Last." Otherwise Valerie Harper or Doris Day would have gone last.

I didn't know John Falsey died!

He was only 67 and one of the best writers in TV history: St. Elsewhere, A Year in the Life, Northern Exposure, I'll Fly Away.

I'm guessing "complications from a head injury suffered in a fall at his home" [in Iowa] is a euphemism for alcoholism?

Nancy Wilson did lots of TV appearances.

The folks at TMC need to give the Emmy & Oscar producers a tutorial on how to create a moving In Memoriam montage. The TMC ones are sooooooooo much more moving and poignant.

That’s Halsey? Huh.

Rip Torn!

You know GoT may get shut out. Peter Dinklage was a respected actor in Indie films and stage work before Game of Thrones and he has a big following among actor types. So that may account for his popularity within the voting community. The other actors in GoT are not well known to the Academy. They don't have history the way Peter does.

If GoT loses best series - do you think any of the cast or producers will care? they all seem to know they don't deserve it - which is good. It'll still win of course.

Kerry looks ready to do a Fosse number.

SUCCESSION

I can never get over how much Kerry Washington sounds like Drew Barrymore.

Okay Billy, yes.

What a hat.

Never heard of this guy or his show.

DL is losing their minds now.

Bateman looks confused

PORTER - gross.

This should have been Bateman's.

Billy won in a tough category

Bob Odenkirk robbed again.

If you close your eyes you can hear Noxema Jackson.

R235 he’s always all over this site. Please.

God, now Billy will become even MORE insufferable.

Ugh. Billy Porter. Ugh.

Love him. Hate the hat

That hat is growing on me

Just slightly melodramatic.

So Billy Porter's got the ET out of the EGOT. Did he get a Grammy for Kinky Boots?

Saw him at L'Ermitage earlier today, that suit is amazing in person, but he does look his age.

I know DL HATES Billy, but he's a good old gay man, not a binary queer whatever.

And quoting James Baldwin!!

I muted the bitch instantly.

Did he just thank Eminem?

Oh fuck He is going to INSUFFERABLE, and shall crown himself Queen of the Gays

Why the fuck did they have to shut out Richard Madden... we could have gotten a shot of his bitch face in the audience

I think hi brother is named Eminem

I’m glad Harington didn’t win. Happy for Billy Porter. Would have liked to see Odenkirk win.

Gwyneth didn’t stand for him like everyone else lol

Charming actually

Hooray for Billy Porter!

YAY! bateman!

Wow, so happy for Jason.

What happened to Buck????

I liked Billy's speech. Is Poise good? I've never seen it.

I want to kiss Jason Bateman too!

Anybody still think GoT is a lock for Best Drama? Think again.

GOT denied again.

HOORAY! Bateman scores. Deserved.

[quote]Gwyneth didn’t stand for him like everyone else lol

She had a cramp.

Wow GOT getting no love tonight.

Amazing.

R262 Depends, do you like trannys rewriting history, and reality?

I’ve never watched or read GOT, was Dinklage’s character a little person in the book or was that a casting choice?

Why does Mandy Moore look like JLO tonight.

Bateman always seems smug, like he is above it all.

Gwyneth must have had cramps all night. She doesn’t stand or clap for anyone lmao

Yeah, the Emmys wised up or something... Veep was shut out and it looks like Game of Throne is going through the same thing.

Ugh, Jason Bateman?

r270 Was written as a little person in the book as well.

There are 100 nominees in this category.

Awww, Jason meaningfully elaborated on Julia's chocolate metaphor. That was beautiful.

Does Good need to poop?

Paltrow's dress doesn't fit! HA HA HA

Billy wins!

SLAY BITCH!

I love these surprise winners. The token Asian did not win!

Yay Jodie Comer. I think she's better than Oh.

Very well deserved for Jodie Comer.

Holy shit, that win was a shocker!

Absolutely absurd none of the Thrones ladies won. Some stranger bitch from a show no one watches was better than ALL of them? Fuck off

Paltrow’s walk-on music should have been “Witchy Woman”

[quote]Gwyneth didn’t stand for him like everyone else lol

It's because of the heavy sack of shit she's always carrying around.

Yayyyy Jodie! She should have won it the first season instead of the ethnic win card.

Jodie Comer is a beautiful woman.

Jodie Comer is a beautiful woman.

Laura Linney's gonna be a BITCH on set this week.

The thing is GoT made a lot of money for HBO and it was a huge hit all over the world for 9 years. Its audience kept building and building. It is part of the culture. And for 90% of the time it sustained a very high standard as far as the acting and the production values, and even for the scripts. It made history in that way. So now that it's over, yes it deserves awards and recognition. I don't want to see it get shut out. I'm glad the writers lost, but I was hoping the rest might win. They didn't. I do think maybe there was a certain arrogance about the showrunners that turned a lot of industry people off. Dan & David Benioff don't seem like very nice eople .

Gotta feel a little bad for Sandra. Claire Foy did this last year lol. I have heard nothing but great things about Jodie in this role, and if I'm not mistaken she's won major British awards for this role.

YASSS! Second season of Killing Eve was legit a trainwreck, but Comer is still AMAZING.

Fucking hell, that is an ACCENT, henny.

It helps that none of them won except Peter who always wins.

GOT isn’t the type of show that wins for acting. It’s wins come mostly from tech awards.

I’m enjoying most of these wins.

Yeah second season was not bad but didn't live up to season 1.

Did not expect Comer to win tonight. I feel bad for Sandra who has the tougher part in that series.

What's left ? Which awards are we still waiting for?

I'm glad Jodie Comer won, she's the reason I watch Killing Eve, not Sandra Oh.

I low key did want Emilia Clarke to win. She’s lovely

Yes, she's got the scouser accent going.

As opposed to other weeks, r292?

R302 we know. You keep making racist comments about Oh being Asian.

The problem with Game of Thrones is that the cast is so huge, each character gets only about 3 minutes of airtime per episode. Especially during the earlier seasons. But as the show went on, and characters kept getting killed off, there was more screen time to go around (starting in Season 5). The actors are good enough, but their characters are written very one-note, almost like comic book characters.

R301 I think just Comedy and Drama Series.

Thanks for watching & commenting, DL. It makes it more fun to watch.

It's gonna be Fleabag (hooray!)

and Game of Thrones (yawn).

We need more Liverpudlian winners, just to hear that crazy accent again. Whew!

how can such a shitty show have such great winners?

R303 she's adorable. I'm very much here for her quirky romcom post-thrones career

I guess this is proof everyone HATED the GOT ending...that's why they didn't win shit.

Brittany Snow is a CUNT

GOT will probably win the big one but it shouldn't.

Maybe Emilia Clarke will win an Oscar for Last Christmas

wow, Fleabag...

I'm gonna have to check this show out.

Fleabag is an Amazon show. Jeff Bezos wins again.

Big night for Fleabag

R315, why do you say that?

GOT suffered from having a really bad finale.

I wonder if Bezos fucks around with the actresses in shows that his company produces.

Sandra looks horrid in that shade of pink

Upset!!!

I fucking love Andrew Scott

Chrissy Metz is sitting in the same size seats as everyone else? How?

The Hot Priest!

GoT season 8 was not 32 Emmy nominations worthy.

Not usually a fan of Emilia’s acting but she deserved a nod for making the shitty material for her character work.

I wish "Superstore" would start getting some Emmy recognition.

Emilia was the best part of that final season.

The moment I finished the last episode of Fleabag about 3 months ago I predicted it would win the Emmy.

VEEP will go into the HBO on demand vault. It won't be syndicated, it won't be beloved or remembered in five years. And it sucks when an actor wins six years in a row for basically the same performance show after show.

Who is the blond guy standing behind Sandra Oh's mother?

Andrew Scott !!!

I SEE YOU ANDREW SCOTT!!!

Who should have been nominated by the way.

Phoebe give this Emmy to Andrew

Andrew Scott is HOTT!

Horseshit, r333.

[quote]Chrissy Metz is sitting in the same size seats as everyone else? How?

The Emmys have a "Customer of Size" policy.

Yes! Andrew was robbed.

Yeah R333, I really don't understand the Julia Louis-Dreyfuss worship at all.

Praying that Ozark or Succession beats GOT here.

Michael Douglas looks terrible.

I predict Milo will win an Emmy for the final season of This Is Us in a few years.

GOT won the big one. That's all that matters I suppose.

Veep was fucking brilliant and JLD was glorious. Your taste is shit.

However, Phoebe deserved the win and Fleabag was fantastic.

Yuck. Good night all.

Gross

Ava is pissed!

[quote]VEEP will go into the HBO on demand vault. It won't be syndicated, it won't be beloved or remembered in five years. And it sucks when an actor wins six years in a row for basically the same performance show after show.

Love Julia, but kind of agree. I mean, look... nothing bad happened when she didn't win. Something unexpected, fun, and different happened! Something energizing. This could have happened at any moment in the past for Amy Poehler... jussayin'.

Bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate these 2 guys, they ruined the fucking show.

Weirdest Couple award goes to Fred Armisen and Natasha Lyonne

Here we are.

GAME OF THRONES BEST DRAMA.

But those writers can sit down and shut up they fucked up the story.

The circle jerk has finally cum full circle

Ugh, Game of Throw-ups.

Agreed R346. This is Us is cheesy and saccharine, but Milo gives one of the better performances on that show.

They have to make things you write better cause the writing wasnt great lol

Major upsets but Sterling K Brown didn't win that made the night.

Next year, Succession.

Game of Thrones win is, ultimately, understandable for all the reasons R293 said.

That old skinny guy with the giant white beard, LOL

Kit still looks like a snack.

GOT winning is garbage. It’s always been overheated garbage. I’m just glad it’s over so I never have to hear about it again.

I was really hoping for GOT to lose best drama series.

What is it about awards shows on Fox? I just don't enjoy them. They always seem so cheap and disrespectful to the artists. Recorded DJ music rather than live performers ... Thomas Lennon's irreverent and irrelevant nonsense ... no host ... stupid "banter" at the beginning that gets dropped half-way through ... I could go on and on...

That was Natasha Lyonne? I was wondering who the fuck that was!

Glad Succession lost. That's all that matters to me.

Goodnight Datalounge.

Yo, these GOT boys are looking old... and I feel like we just saw them earlier this summer and they didn't look this aged. I wonder if the backlash against them took a toll.

PUKE on GoT!

But a totally predictable win based on the usual Emmy patterns.

I’m thrilled about Jodie Comer, she’s awesome.

I like the whole no host format!

The show sucked but it did end exactly on time

Emmys After Party live on the E! channel

"We hope, someday, you'll all decide it was worth it."

There will be a GOT movie in a couple of years. Don't worry.

R365 good luck. The spinoff show is happening.

Best/Worst dressed?

I agree. These shows are better without hosts.

I agree. These shows are better without hosts.

No movie needed... they're already doing a prequel show.

R378 they already announced the spin off series

worst dress is Gwen from GOT, that caftan she wore.

Fleabag is THAT bitch! Watch it if you haven't, it's just 12 episodes, and it's got Fiona Shaw, Olivia Colman, Kristin Scott Thomas...

Of all the GOT people, I'm rooting for Carice the most. She was always my favourite

Who was the blond thigh-full dancer behind Andy Devine in the Variety number?

Fleabag winning was a special moment. I'm glad Phoebe singled out Andrew Scott, who really was one of the finest aspects of the second season... wish they'd found some way to nominate him, but the quality of his work remains regardless.

Eva lost, the painful twat, so happy as fuck

Congratulations to Billy Porter on his posthumous win!!!

So, "Carpool Karaoke" is what kept Bruce Springsteen from EGOT-ing?! Reason #593,534 why James Corden's fat ass can fuck right off!

Someone please correct me, but George R.R. Martin was on that stage tonight. He was the creator of Game of Thrones and for five seasons, 50 episodes or more, it was his direct involvement that navigated the success of the show. But I don't think I ever heard David Benioff or Dan Weiss acknowledge him. He may as well have been a grip on the crew. If they did not acknowledge him, then they are truly small, despicable people.

I saw Ian Glen on the stage and he looked damned good.

Exactly R352. No one's saying that JLD sucks, just that no one's deserving of six emmys in a row. It's overkill.

r389 I wish she mentioned Sian Clifford as well. 😕

LOL r391!

[quote]it was his direct involvement that navigated the success of the show

r393 No, he wasn't involved past the third or the fourth season or something like that. He started distancing himself from the show pretty strongly in the later years.

R393, he was acknowledged by those two writer cunts.

awful dress for a pretty woman.

I can’t wait for Milo to finally win. He’s so wonderful on This Is Us.

Although Sterling was wonderful on season 3. But it’s ridiculous he was nominated while the woman who plays his wife wasn’t when so much of his acting was reacting to her and vice versa in season 3.

The last ep GRRM wrote was Joffrey’s wedding in early season four. No involvement after that.

He wasn’t involved post season 3 I believe because they were straying too far from the source material

R399, yes I agree, that color is too pale and she looks washed out. Too many yes people around her.

Or early season 4.

I think she looks perfect! I can’t wait to fuck her later!

E223 Not necessarily, the fall could have been related to another medical issue and he may have been on anitcoagulants. Since it killed him it's likely he suffered a subdural hematoma which is devastating.

It's not awful, r399. It's just boring.

A moment of silence for John Falsey.

Everything we love about modern TV drama originated at the MTM company in the '80s — Grant Tinker (RIP), with the writing of Steven Bochco (also RIP), Falsey and Joshua Brand.

[quote]Agreed [R346]. This is Us is cheesy and saccharine, but Milo gives one of the better performances on that show.

I prefer him over the overrated Sterling K. Brown.

Milo shouldn’t have even been lead in season 3. His role was so much smaller than the previous two seasons minus a couple of episodes.

R410 Maybe, he chose to submit in lead?

the tough thing about Milo/Jack is that Jack's gone and there's only so much they can do to write backstory; I'm sure they'll write up something big.

I know Jack has his faults, but damn...it sucks when the father is taken away. The mother, too, of course...anyone really. Even great grandparents, but a father? a protector/teacher/friend/coach/parent/educator.... it's the worst. the absolute fucking worst.

Why are Milo, Mandy and Sterling leads while Chrissy and Justin Supporting?

Wanna know what’s weird, how out of all the actors on the show teenage Kevin gets the least work to do. They use teenage Kate and Randall a lot but Kevin hardly ever. He doesn’t even get enough screentime to be invited to the SAG awards. Last year Justin and his wife gave him his wife’s ticket so he can go with the rest of the cast because he was the only actor besides Randall’s kids to not have enough screen time to get an invite. And because of it when they win he doesn’t get an award like the rest do.

GRANTED Logan Shroyer aka teen Kevin is the weakest link. He’s just pretty.

R412 Based on the ending of season 3 of This is Us, I think they will have Jack appear as a ghost or hallucination to elderly Rebecca for several episodes before her death. But, the show has been renewed for three more seasons so who knows when Rebecca's death will ever be shown.

Well her death is in the future. We have only seen Sterling, Beth and their one daughter in the future, and that Kevin has a kid, a full white child so he doesn’t end up with Beth’s cousin.

Oh wait we did see her on her death bed in the future. Forgot. She looked scary. Miguel still looked good!

R417 There are online theories that Kate dies before Rebecca. If the show goes down that route I could see the writers having Kate reunite with Jack in the afterlife.

How are they gonna pump out 6 seasons to this story? They should cut it at 5.

R419 omg that would actually be heartbreaking if Kate is dead

Phoebe Tyler Wallingford was the big winner of the night. She's the new IT girl in town and can pretty much write her own ticket after tonight.

She's replaced Ryan Murphy as the most powerful person in TV at the moment.

I don't know that she's replaced Ryan, but yeah, her next project is getting an easy greenlight, if it hasn't already. I know she took part in writing the upcoming Bond film. Excited to see what else she does next.

R420 The writers will find ways to drag it out. I'm guessing they will do more flash foward storylines about the future of the family. If Kate isn't dead in the future, I'm betting there will be other tragedies like one of Randall's other daughters dies young or Kate's son ends up with health issues.

Variety's list of snubs and surprises

wow, her chin is so sharp! Looks like a witch! Phoebe Tyler Wallingford

Is Phoebe Tyler Wallingford the new Lens?

Handsome Milo and his delicious butt didn’t win. Sad.

Is Wallingford involved with Killing Eve anymore?

[quote]Is Wallingford involved with Killing Eve anymore?

She's still an executive producer but stepped down as the showrunner before the second season.

Maisie William’s boyfriend is definitely a twink. He made her dress.

Pics of the boyfriend please.

Twink

The first one definitely wasn’t a twink. You can tell because of his terrible outfit and lightly inbred English looks

I liked Maisie's dress, kind of quirky but age-appropriate.

Did our Faye win for Best Wig Slapper?

if not she was robbed

I’m still LOLing that Richard Madden didn’t even show up 😂

Bitch is pissed he was snubbed

Forgive me but I don't know where look and I can't start threads. Could you guys recommend some that are not so hard for a 40 something guy to relate to? For the record, I thought GoT was overrated but Breaking Bad was worth every hype and more. I actually prefer comedy so I'm looking for something light that'll make me laugh,

R437 to be fair, Madden might be due on set today for Eternals. Considering that most awards watchers thought he was a slam dunk for a nod, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was upset at not being nominated. If they brought him back as a ghost on GOT he probably would have been nominated 🤣

I forget who said it, but Susan Kelchi Watson who plays Beth to Sterling K Brown’s Randall should have been nominated but the Emmys were too busy trying to get everyone from GOT a nod...

Susan Kelechi Watson 100% should have been nominated. Season 3 was her season to shine, and she did wonderfully. She was just as important as Randall this season, too. They even showed her backstory, finally.

R438 OZ

Does seeing someone as thin and pretty as Zendaya trigger Chrissy Metz?

Zendaya is a vision in that photo.

She looks anorexic. Don’t black girls usually have ass?

R444 are you that dumb? I know many thin black Women. Stupid fuck.

And she’s half white. Get an education

All the dumb twitter people saying zendaya looks like a meal NO she looks like she needs to eat several meals!

R445 she has an eating disorder like most fashion models.

Zendaya looks high fashion. Keep hating. She has the build for runway

Who were all these people sitting around me? Why did I have to keep standing for them? Can someone explain?

GOOP doesn’t even know any of these shows or actors. When asked about what TV shows she likes she could barely answer and said she hopes The Handmaids Tale wins.

Milo should be in the category Lifetime Achievement in Hotness on TV

Sian Clifford did look a little hurt that Phoebe Tyler Wallingford didn’t mention her at all in any of her speeches. She had to put on a fake smile at the end. Brits are all about team spirit.

The GOT spinoff will only be watched by the most devoted fan loons. No one in the general public cares, especially after that catastrophic final season. The numbers will be terrible, it will be gone and forgotten after season 2.

I love Gwyneth’s cluelessness. She just doesn’t give a fuck.

[quote]I’m still LOLing that Richard Madden didn’t even show up 😂 Bitch is pissed he was snubbed

Um they generally only give tickets to nominees. The networks get some for actors on shows they’re promoting (hence GOOP) but that’s it. Showing up uninvited would be pointless.

Kim Kardashian And Kendall Jenner Laughed At By Emmy Awards Audience

Christ, Kim Kardashian has a voice suited for taking pizza orders over the phone.

Watching now: The look on JLDs face after Harry Bradbeer won for directing Fleabag (after PWBs win for writing it)! Ha! She knew 20 mins. into the show it wasn’t going her way!

Also, Luke Kirby hot AF!

hard to believe the Emmys can't even fill up 2 600 post threads in less than a 16 hours.

Great winners. Boring show.

R455 Bodyguard was nominated for best drama, wouldn’t at least he and Hawes earn an invite even though their performances were not nominated?

R461 Yes, they would have been invited since the show was nominated for best drama. Some people who get snubbed for performance nominations have shown up at the Emmys if their shows were nominated in the main categories.

What ditch did that director of Chernobyl crawl out of? What’s with the hobo hat?

Phoebe Waller-Bridge - finally a woman Bill Hader has chemistry with!

You cannot call Zendaya black. She is just as much white as she is black. It is practically 2020. Let's stop the stupid jim crowe thinking. It is just so dated. UGH.

r464 Yes, their chemistry on the stage was palpable, and I don't usually care for that breeder crap.

r465 If she's mixed race, then we go with whatever she says she is. It's really that simple.

R467 And its really just as simple as what I said and DNA. So, STFU.

R467 And its really just as simple as what I said and DNA. So, STFU.

Zendaya was originally cast in an Aaliyah biopic and people on twitter bitched about the casting because she's half white. IIRC, that was part of the reason she dropped out of the project.

r468 Obama isn't fully black and he still identified as a black person on the census. Did you throw a little bitch fit over that as well?

Who is the gorgeous guy in the audience that they cut to when Corden came out? Dark hair, fair skin, gorgeous.

R471 Actually yes. He is NOT the first black president and it always bugged me and still does. First MIXED president. He is not a full black man. Just as much white as he is black. It's just that simple. Really.

Cultural and racial/ethnic identity is not as simple as DNA and subsequent melanin levels in the skin. It just isn't. That's analogous to saying I'm not allowed to identify as a homosexual because I've never had sex with a guy. Stop policing people's identity and mind your own business.

Tony Hale & JLD are such a class comedy duo - always hilarious.

I think what happened is that the multiple nominations for the cast members may have cancelled out their chances to win. One thing I've always faulted the Emmys for is their predictability in always giving awards to the same people every year. So IMO that's what happened to Dinklage. Also he's well known beyond his role in Game of Thrones. But Julia Louis Dreyfus, Peter Dinklage and others need to make room for the newer people and programs. I'm glad Benioff and Weiss lost for their category, but I felt bad the Miguel Sapochnik and other Game of Thrones directors didn't win. Honestly I don't care how good Ozark is, Jason Bateman no way could have done what the Game of Thrones episode directors did. Excluding Weiss & Benioff. IMO Nicolaj Coster Waldau deserved an award more than anyone else in his category. But then, so did Alfie Allen. Maisie Williams deserved an award for Season 8, and really for her growth and nailing her character so consistently for 8 damned seasons. She was a 10 yr old kid when she started. Did a much better job that Isaac Hempstead White.

R474 Blah blah blah with your "identifying" mental illness racial kidnapping bullshit. It's DNA. Bottom line.

If people actually minded their own business we wouldn't have such a fucking cancel culture to begin with.

Btw--this little twist off topic? Zzzzzzz...

This show is interminable.

Yes it is. It ended last night.

Eventually.

R455 his show was nominated for Best Drama so he would have an invite

I don't care what Zendaya's ethnicity is. All I know is that her Morticia Addams dress with matching green shoes was a mistake.

If only Anna Chlumsky had won, it would've been a further victory for trans people everywhere!

I like Chlumsky. Some of you are evil.

And Zendaya looks beautiful!

Yes, R485, beautiful and badly dressed.

R485, I love Anna Chlumsky too but, y'know....the jokes write themselves.

Gwendolyne Christie obviously thought it was a costume party. What a fashion miss.

Porter promoting Kettle One

UGH. This motherfucker here.

I don’t get the hate for Lin-Manuel Miranda

Terrence Howard explains it all on the Emmy red carpet:

I've been wondering when people were gonna find those wave conjugations.

r491, to me he breathes narcissism.

I actually like Lin, but dude's got a needy quality about him. He is a theater person though.

Why are theater people always ON?

I find it rather tiresome.

Theatre people? TV people, movie people...

They’re all on cocaine

They, r498? And no they're not. Are you?

I want to fuck Rachel Brosnahan’s hot husband.
