There are critical points about the 70th Emmy Awards to keep in mind, starting with this: The ceremony airs Monday.
Typically held on a Sunday, it was punted one day so this year’s host network, NBC, could accommodate its “Sunday Night Football” franchise (New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys, for viewers inclined toward that spectacle).
As for what the 8-11 p.m. EDT awards telecast will offer, the basics are 26 categories with nominees including defending drama champ “The Handmaid’s Tale.” It’s challenged by 2016 winner “Game of Thrones,” which aired outside the eligibility window for last year’s awards and wants a triumphant (please, not blood-soaked) return. […]
Don’t be surprised if there’s occasional confusion about whether you’re watching the Emmys or a very long episode of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels is producing the awards ceremony. It’s hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost, who anchor the “Weekend Update” segment of “SNL.” Past and present “SNL” players including Kate McKinnon and Tina Fey are presenters, with McKinnon a nominee along with three other cast members and Alec Baldwin, the show’s regular Trump impersonator. […]
Awards ceremonies and politics have become increasingly inseparable, and it’s likely that President Donald Trump will be the subject of a few — OK, more than a few — punchlines and speeches. That could be the best opportunity for a drinking game, with mentions of Paul Manafort for bonus points. …

No.
I am washing my hair that night.
We all know it will be a night of 100% Trump/Conservative bashing.
They should just rerun the oscars and change the names of the awards/awardees.
Well the ratings will be down and they will have the Circle Jerk bashing everyone who isn’t a Leftist Idiot. They can have it. Maybe they can invite Paul McCartney and he show them the secret Circle Jerk he and John Lennon did back on the day.
Oh look. Another thing I really care about.
Macca has entered his “Betty White” period, where an elderly former “Star” will say anything, no matter how vulgar, just to make heads turn in their general direction. It’s the only way they can get massive amounts of applause these days.
Robert deNiro and Cher are already there.
Diversity? Of opinion? Nope.
...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one's own family.
Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.
Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.
I watched a recent Steven Martin and Martin Short special on Netflix and the show was good for nearly an hour then they put up photos of conservatives and made jokes about them. It ruined the show as it did not fit. Two guys that have talent but had to insert politics.
I watched a old episode of The Paul Lynde show (1974) on Antenna tv and in it his family was mugged by a black man so naturally they brought the criminal home with them who they treated so nice that he called his girlfriend over and the two of them robbed the family again..... in the end they convinced the guy to get a real job. This kind of stuff has been going on for many decades in hollywood as if decent people are the problem and the criminals are the “good’ people.
I’ve scheduled Monday night to clean the jelly out from between my toes so will miss the Emmys.... again.
Jost has talent but Che has close to none. He is the least talented on SNL. He can make great sarcastic looks, though. I’m sure that will be his best contribution. He’s got the official BLM chip on his shoulder but he can’t write ANYTHING funny. He is a Victicrat. Did I mention that he isn’t funny?
But hating Trump is more important in Hollywood today than actual comedy.
Wondering how ridiculously “inclusive” these awards shows will go over the next few years. If blacks are 14% of the American population (and maybe similar in Britain too), how soon will it be before black actors and producer etc win 75% of all awards?? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FINDS THAT MORE RACIST THAN MERITOCRACY?
Yours is the post of the thread.
Though if he is up for it, Jon Voight deserves a win!
The 70th Enema Awards?
I’ll pass.
Indiewire ran anonymous Emmy ballots last month and one actress admitted to voting for a black actor in every category where there was a black actor. I think there were only 3 categories that didn’t have a black actor. Someone in the comments section noted it.
COULD rule???
Why, theyve hijacked ALL so-called “awards” shows.
Its so predictable... “Trump sucks! F YOU, Trump!...”
...and the crowd goes wild... another award WINNA!!!
It’s telling that pro football, whose ratings are fast tanking, is a priority over these onanistic “we love us” award shows.
See how far the ratings will tank.
I think that’s more Martin Short. He’s like Dana Carvey, extremely talented, but too damn stupid to know that they are insulting half their audience with their stupid liberal crap. Must be a Canadian trait.
