Didn't really care for Metcalf in Hacks - really just felt like she played one of her more irritating Roseanne personas. Thought she was great in The Dropout.

Yeah, same. I wasn't thrilled by her Guest win.

Sheryl Lee Ralph!!!

Macfayden and Goldstein each winning over 2 co-stars shows vote splitting isn't as big of a hindrance as people often think.

This Emmy presentation is fucking awful.

[emmygrammyoscartony]

I watched the beginning and after the first few awards, turned it off. NEVER have I done that with an awards show. This production was awful from what I saw.

But...

SHERYL.

LEE.

FUCKING.

RALPH!

And what a speech! I love Janelle James on AE, but I have thought she has been overpraised next to SLR! SO HAPPY! This is up there with Debra Messing, Kyle Chandler, and Merritt Wever as my fave Emmy wins.

Ok Lizzo now being a GO in EGOT!

The emcee is terrible.

I think you mean an EG, MV.

I was really happy with most of the acting winners. Although they were the favorites, I was still particularly rooting for Michael Keaton and Amanda Seyfried in their categories as they were so fantastic. I was most excited by Sheryl Lee Ralph's and Matthew MacFadyen's wins as they were not the favorites (but so deserving). I was also thrilled for Quinta Brunson's writing win.

I don't think Mike White needed quite so many wins, but I suppose that was inevitable.

Jerrod Carmichael is so hot. So is Murray Bartlett.

I fast-forwarded through basically everything that wasn't an award since it looked to be a total mess. I did see Jimmy Kimmel act like an asshole in his bit by blocking access to the microphone, and I would be thrilled never to see or hear Pete Davidson ever again.

New Emmy rules for 2023.
