73rd Emmy Award Winners


How was the show?

I enjoyed the show. It certainly put the Oscars to shame. I liked the 'Just A Friend' parody with Cedric the Entertainer, LL Cool J, and then more surprises, then all 100-ish join in. Like a fun high-school reunion. (Still weird to think Biz Markie is dead.) I liked Seth Rogen calling out the crowd for not social-distancing (then Cedric letting everyone at home know everyone in attendance is vaxxed). Cedric showed why comedians should always be hosts of shows like this. There was some #EmmysSoWhite hanging over it when we were halfway through the awards and I realized the only non-white people who'd won so far were members of writing teams. But then you had RuPaul, Michaela Cole...

Favorite moments:
Seeing in general how tight the Ted Lasso cast and crew are.
- Juno Temple bawling through Hannah Waddington's speech
- Hannah squeeeezing Brett Goldstein before he could get to the stage
- Brendan Hunt's old-school gent outfit
Kerry Washington's moment for Michael K. Williams.
Lorne Michaels' nod to Norm MacDonald.
The support circle for non-Emmy winners (Scott Bakula, Jason Alexander, etc).
Jean Smart's tribute to her husband who died six months ago.
DEBBIE ALLEN.
Anything Conan O'Brien did.
In Memoriam.

Low-point:
Old white man Scott Frank (director of The Queen's Gambit) refusing to get played off three times, acting like his reading of his windy two-page speech deserved more air-time than Debbie Allen.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR - James Cromwell, American Horror Story: Asylum
OUTSTANDING WRITING TV MINISERIES - Abi Morgan, The Hour
OUTSTANDING DIRECTING TV MINISERIES - Steven Soderbergh, Behind the Candelabra

The show was hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, and it therefore felt more like the Tonys than the Emmys a lot of the time.  A dance number in the middle of the show?  A choreography sequence in Hour 3? For this, they cut short Anna Gunn's speech?

Favorite parts of the show:
- Kevin Spacey's bit in the opening sequence.
- The acceptance speeches of Merritt Wever and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
- Will Ferrell's "couldn't find a babysitter" presentation.
- General unpredictability.

Some of the categories:
 - Loved that Breaking Bad won Best Drama. Was kinda hoping Veep or Big Bang Theory would win Best Comedy, since Mod-Fam and 30 Rock have won it the past seven years between them.
- Jeff Daniels for The Newsroom was a shocker.  Thought it should have gone to Cranston, or Hamm, or Spacey, or Lewis, or Bonneville.
- Bobby Cannavale for Boardwalk Empire was a surprise, but I guess I'm okay with it. I probably would've gone with Aaron Paul or Mandy Patinkin.
- I never watch Nurse Jackie, so I have no idea how good Merritt Wever is. I would've picked Anna Chlumsky or Mayim Bialik.

As to the In Memorium, they gave five special tributes to Jonathan Winters, Jean Stapleton, Cory Monteith, Gary David Goldberg, and James Gandolfini.  (They really thought the spot should go to Monteith instead of Jack Klugman or Larry Hagman?) But they didn't play any clips; we only got testimonials.  And same with the regular In Memorium, we got only photos.  Anyway, stretching out the death theme made the whole event more of a bummer than usual.
