The Official DIS Emmy Awards LIVE WATCH PARTY Thread!!! - TONITE!

[AustinTink]

I keep cracking up every time they pan to the nerdy DJ and the announcer. It's like this Emmy's is a high school production.

Wow! Sheryl Lee Ralph! She's been around a very long time. I haven't seen Abbott Elementary but I heard it's pretty good.

Here is part of an interview she did with the NY Times about getting nominated for her role in Abbott Elementary:

"Ralph told the New York Times: “I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ I can believe it, but I can’t believe it. I’m so happy. I mean, I’m breathless I’m so happy.”​

​

She also told the New York Times that the series really resonates with viewers.​

​

“This show is the perfect show for this time, where we get to raise up the visibility and the plight of educators across this country — people who make sacrifices, people who during the worst times in the world put themselves on the front lines,” she said. “We get to tell their stories, the ups and the downs.”​

​

She shared that her first big role was in the movie “A Piece of the Action” with Sidney Poitier. She starred as the lead in the hit Broadway production “Dreamgirls,” along with many more films and productions in the years to come.​

​

She also said that she thought her character, Barbara, would be invisible on the series. She had no idea the character was going to be so popular.​

​

“I honestly thought Barbara was going to be invisible in the show,” she told the New York Times. “I had no idea that people would really see me. I thought I was invisible. So I leave those things open to God."​

Steve Martin and Martin Short are hilarious. Their special An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life is wonderful.

 

[Imzadi]

I just noticed the acceptance speeches across the bottom! That’s brilliant for those who get nervous and forget to mention somebody.

I also like that it's really shortening the speeches. No two minutes of listing everybody one has ever known.

Steve Martin and Martin Short are hilarious. Their special An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life is wonderful.

I laughed out loud through the whole bit as did the audience.

I guess I should see White Lotus!

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Jennifer Coolidge cracks me up! I love her dancing to the music. You can tell she didn’t plan on winning.

 

[AustinTink]

Jennifer Coolidge, what a nut. She's great.

 

[dcassetta]

Amanda's dress is lovely.

 

[AustinTink]

The countdown does seem shorter this year. It's making the winners so anxious.

 

[Imzadi]

OMG, Lizzo’s dress is too much.

Three extra people's worth of red material (in her train) went up to the stage with her.

How does she go to the bathroom with that much dress?

 

[dcassetta]

Good for Lizzo, I think RuPaul's show has won this for several years in a row.

 

[AustinTink]

Lizzo brings so much positivity with her everywhere. Go girl!

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Good for Lizzo, I think RuPaul's show has won this for several years in a row.

Agreed! I love Lizzo. A woman who is unapologetically herself - and proud of herself. We need more of that!

 

[dcassetta]

If she can see it, she can be it. So true in so many ways.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Well-deserved honor for Geena Davis. And she always looks great, so beautiful and statuesque.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Mindy Kaling looks amazing! I love her dress!

 

[AustinTink]

I was just thinking about Mike White and his reality shows (both Survivor and Amazing Race) when he mentioned it.

 

[AustinTink]

Mindy Kaling looks amazing! I love her dress!

She did look awesome... and she is totally with B.J. Novak even though they keep denying it.
