Notes:

Colin Jost and Michael Che were funnier than expected. Having Che there gave them a lot of options for race humor.

The losers were ridiculously pissed off in almost every category. Very few attempts to fake a smile or excitement for the winners.

They made a big deal about diversity in nominations, but the big winners were the all white shows. You could sense the unease in the room.

I love Fred Armisen but they could've done without his bits with Maya Rudolph.

Highpoints:
-Donald Glover showing up dressed as Teddy Perkins. If he had won it would've been amazing.
-The Oscar Director using his speech to propose. The audience was human for a moment or two. It was really sweet to see that go down.
-The Reparation Emmy presentations. That was damn funny. Best bit of the evening.

Double Digit Ratings Decline

quote:

here’s a couple of telling stats: last night’s Emmy awards peaked in the 8:45 – 9 PM ET time slot with a 7.8 metered market rating while last night’s MNF peaked in the 9:30-9:45 PM ET period with a 9.1 result. That means, long before the big categories like Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Comedy and Outstanding Limited Series had been announced, viewers were clicking off and tuning out the Emmys – not a winning strategy.

How Kerri Russell didn’t when an Emmy in 6 seasons of the Americans is beyond me.

Loved seeing the Barry love.

And it was great to see Winkler finally win an Emmy. He's amazing on Barry.
