Some things never change.
Actually it was a gay guy who murdered 4 other gay guys (including Versace) and 1 straight guy, before finally killing himself.

Are you suggesting that homophobia doesn't exist anymore and that gays aren't persecuted? Or that they're ONLY allowed to talk about things specifically related to their series? Ooookay.

We chose to watch the Seahawks lose on Monday Night Football, but I saw some "highlights" on the news this morning and it seemed underwhelming.

I never watch, but I am very happy for Henry Winkler.

I don't think there are to many viewers anymore, even young viewers. I didn't even know it was on.

Very happy for Matthew Rhys and Henry Winkler. I wish Keri Russell would have won.

I truly love Mrs Maisel but the comedy directing absolutely deserved to go to Hiro Murai for the Teddy Perkins episode of Atlanta. I've never seen anything like that on tv.

I'm a bit disappointed that Atlanta was shut out except for the Katt Williams guest star win. I feel like it's so groundbreaking.

I'm glad Handmaid's Tale lost it's thunder. I don't like it at all.

On another note, I'm always fascinated by the ex factor at award shows. Milo and Alexis, etc but the elephant in this room was Elizabeth Moss and Fred Armisen. He was featured a lot in the show. Awkward. Also, I'm wondering if Alex Borstein and Will Sasso are dating or he was just a friendly companion.

I have to agree, after the initial 10 mins of wtf is this I switched to something else. I realize I'm not a 20 something but was the opening act satire, political satire, or was someone taking a bad acid trip...

I've never watched the Emmy's. I know one of my favorite comedians won something, but that's about it


Oh, I also know someone proposed

The money is on acid trip.

I watched the first hour. It was incredibly dull. Sorry that I missed Betty White because I saw a clip of her speech and she was a real class act. I also think she had the nicest outfit of anyone of any age. The opening monologue was very wooden. Glad that Matthew Rhys won. He's a great actor in just about anything that he has done.
