So... I feel like I don't have a lot to say about the Emmy's. I didn't watch the whole thing... I don't watch all of the shows- I do watch quite a few though... so I kind of know what was going on... but I still have some thoughts... just very briefly lol.
Some shows I was excited were nominated: Stranger Things, that's a great show. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was great this season and I was happy that Titus Burgess and Ellie Kemper were both nominated... I really wanted Titus to win- he's just so funny on Kimmy Schmidt and his character was so real and relatable this season too... the episode with the Lindas was so funny. I have an Aunt Linda and I told her about it and she thought that was really funny. I think she's looking to join the council of Linda's lol.
Even though I was rooting for Ellie Kemper this year... I think Tracee Ellis Ross deserves an Emmy for Blackish. She deserved one for the first season- and with this season of Blackish being the best one so far IMO... she definitely deserved it. She is the funniest part of that show- which is awesome. She's a very strong, female character and I'm so happy she's not just the straight man to Andre's antics... she's so funny and smart and just a well written, funny character that keeps the show really grounded.
I had mixed feelings about Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin's nominations this season. 1) They definitely deserved to be nominated in previous seasons... this season was definitely not my favorite- I mentioned that in my review for that season... I don't think that had to do with Jane and Lilly's performance this season at all... I thought they were great as always... but it isn't the thing I would recommend the most.
I was happy Aziz Ansari won a writing award for Master of None. I loved this season- that show is an absolutely beautiful love letter to NYX- also to Italy this season... a lot of it is like an old fashioned movie with very modern themes... there are some sad episodes and some funny episodes... the episode that won was a great mixture of both... and I just would highly recommend this show. It's not back every year- I think it takes such a long time to make the show because it is such a beautifully done show.
I think it's weird when SNL is nominated for acting categories... I feel like it's almost a cop out because it is in the variety categories... and I don't necessarily think that's fair. I think Stephen Colbert should have been considered for an acting nomination for The Colbert Report- because he was playing a character very well on that show and he was just as funny and just as well acted. To me that's pretty darn impressive.
Speaking of Colbert... let's get to the hosting of the show! I thought he was sooo funny. They didn't show him all that often... but still- I think he was really funny and was just right for the show. The Last Week Tonight joke was really funny. He and Jimmy Kimmel were shown drinking a cocktail and they said it was called "Last Week Tonight" because that show kept winning. And they said "It's so high quality they only do one a week" because obviously Colbert and Kimmel do more than one show a week.
And Rachel Bloom did a performance. I only saw one of the performances... I think she might have done more. I love Rachel Bloom- I thought she was hilarious. I was excited to see her.
And I didn't see the whole part with James Corden and Seth Meyers... but I thought that was great.
Big Winners of the night: The Handmaid's Tale won a lot- including Best Drama and Best Actress. Big Little Lies won a lot- including a win for Alexander Skarsgard- who I'm a big fan of... so that made me happy. Veep won for Best Actress (Julia Louis Dryfuss) and for Best Comedy. SNL won in both supporting actor categories- of corse Trump and Hillary won- Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon. And my favorite: Sterling K Brown won for Best Actor in This is Us... I really want to see The Crown now because I was 100% expecting Ron Cephas Jones to win and I'm wondering how Lithgow could have beaten him. Side Note: It is INCREDIBLY rude that they cut off Sterling when he was making his speech. It makes sense to cut people off- but PLEASE let the actors and the major winners of the night INCLUDING COMEDY have their moment. It was awful when they played off BETTE MIDLER at the Tony's... they need to just LET THEM TALK!!!! My goodness it is 100% rude and terrible. I think next year they should just have Kanye kick them off the stage... because it's that bad.
So yeah! That is everything! I don't have Hulu... I really want it now- I want to read Big Little Lies before watching it... but that is just about everything I wanted to say! Chart chat will be tomorrow!
Also- Christopher Jackson did an amazing performance during the In Memoriam segment... He's very talented and I was happy he was peforming... even happier that it was a Stevie Wonder song!
Byeee!
