I saw Thomas Lennon sitting above the crowd, so I’m assuming he’s the one with the snide comments after every winner is announced. Some may hate it, but I think it’s been the highlight of the show. Some funny one liners. 

Just googled, and there are a lot of haters on the Twitter. Lighten up, Francis.

Chernobyl a deserving winner for limited series but Fosse/Verdon (now available on Hulu) was also fantastic. Glad Michelle Williams won.

Thomas Lennon is one of those guys you either like or hate with a passion. Personally, I like him.

The musical selection is puzzling.  And Lennon is profoundly unfunny/unentertaining.  Maybe he's good in other contexts, but this is so bad it's painful.

Quite. This whole show is wobbly. FOX is trying too hard to be cute.

I can't believe Game of Thrones wins best drama with that rushed, lackluster half of a season.  There's no way that Emmy wasn't just a reward for the show's entire run, because season 8 on its own should have lost to half of the shows in that category.  

[RPM 26359]

There were definitely a few "we gotta give to a special group instead of the best" given out. That was one of them.

[Goo Punch 4275]

any and all of the GoT nominees (and what's more the wins) are fucking comical. Kit Harrington was nominated for an Emmy? LMFAO, for what?! He had two lines the entire season! The entire season of GoT set new records across the board for terrible, shitty, awful scripts/episodes/storytelling/etc, and yet it got nominated in a bunch of categories and even won some? Fuuuuuck that. That's embarrassing. Even the actors themselves were embarrassed by how fucking terrible that season was. What a joke. 

[bluto 4943]

Sucks veep didn’t get any hardware, that and Chernobyl were really the only two things I watched among the nominees. Is fleabag that good?

[HRSchenker 2274]

Wow the only non cable/streaming show that won was Saturday Night Live? This needs to be a huge wake up call to the big 4 public channels

JLD not winning is a crime against humanity. I don't give a damn about Fleabag, and Veep is a national treasure.

It has been that way for a while, right?

[henrygandorf 29195]

in honor of fleabag winning everything, i submit my creeper pics of the 3 main characters chilling at the pool at the london last month.



pwb in the pool with her old dude. gelman top left talking to the sister.

but yes, agreed that veep not winning shit is a joke.

[BNB 100]

I need to maybe watch :

Fleabag
Pose?
Sharp Objects
Fosse/Verdon
I haven't seen those.

It is sad, 15 comments, I quit watching the emmys a few years ago.  

Not to cloak it up, but I don't want to hear Celebs lecture me on anything.

Down another 20% this year.

Bodyguard was sooooo much better than GOT.  GOT didn't deserve that.  

Billy Porter is now just an Oscar away from EGOT.

i wouldn't waste time with the other two, but that's me.
