I wanted it live. I knew it was going to be a hot mess. There should've been 4 box screens with the announcer in the middle revealing the winner with reactions from the nominees. I did notice Maura West was dressed up during her reunion with Michael Park earlier today.

While Eric’s tribute to Aretha was airing, he was on Twitter railing on Mike Pence. He’s clearly not following along lol.

Well the positive to pretaping is the video quality is good, but it's really boring and why are the speeches so short when they don't have to spend airtime on them walking on stage?

My understanding is that it isn't airing on the West coast until 7pm.

Ah yes! Duh! Thanks for the reminder.

Sad that no soap actors were in that BLM segment. (Unless I missed one?) 

Kelly Clarkson is just a Broadway musical and a Best Original Song co-credit away from her EGOT. 

James Reynolds introducing the clip of Al Freeman, Jr.’s 1979 Lead Actor win was a nice touch. Al was a cool cat.

Wow, Y&R really milked the eff out of KSJ’s death for Emmys. Very unseemly, considering how they treated him in life and how they’ve erased his legacy. Fitting that Bryton was the only one who won an award for those funeral episodes so far (although Best Drama is still to come).

Mo and JMW aren’t social distancing!

Okay, I was like what is this and why are they doing this together. 

That Billy episode seemed written solely to get JT an Emmy, and he got it.

The streak is over Jason Thompson.

Effin HEATHER TOM again?!?

That's #6 for Heather Tom. She's tied w/ Erika Slezak for most Emmy wins by an actress.

Someone mentioned that three actors have won Emmys for Billy Abbott: David Tom, Billy Miller, and now Jason Thompson.

Heather Tom is a cutie, but it makes me uncomfortable when these actors/tv personalities record from their bedrooms. 

I wish Henry Joseph Samiri would have been nominated and won the best younger actor award. I really enjoy him as Douglass on B&B and think he is very talented. Especially at his young age. But since he wasn't nominated I do think Olivia Rose Keegan was the best choice of the nominees. I thought she did nice work as Claire this past year when she was losing it over Tripp.

 

Congrats to Bryton and Jason Thompson. I didn't really like the storyline for Billy but Jason definitely tries and did what he could with it. He has a lovely family.
