Twitter lashes out over celebrities at 2021 Emmys going maskless

Mask on, mask off.

The 2021 Emmy Awards were full of colorful ensembles, moving speeches and coveted gold statuettes — but no masks in sight.

While 2020’s coronavirus had awards shows very scaled down, the party only got bigger this year. Many viewers and fans on social media, Twitter and beyond certainly had something to say about the celebs sitting in close proximity to one another during the telecast.

Because as recent surges show, COVID-19 is still a thing.

Emmy host Cedric the Entertainer even joked about the virus in his opening monologue. “We had to vaxx to come here,” he said, noting the show’s precautions. “I got vaxxed. I did not have a reaction like Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend. I got Pfizer because I’m bougie. Pfizer, that’s the Neiman Marcus of vaccines, Moderna, that’s Macy’s. Johnson & Johnson, that’s TJ Maxx.”

Seth Rogen, the evening’s first presenter, also joked about the pandemic. “I went from wiping my groceries to having Paul Bettany sneeze in my face,” Rogen said.

Cue the Twitter reactions. “Me: why are the emmys in such a small room without masks and no ventilation during a pandemic (30 seconds later) seth rogen: why are we in such a small room without masks and no ventilation during a pandemic,” one confused fan wrote.

We had to vaxx to come here

This tells me one thing: vaxxing was optional.

Most young men these days have heavy beards. Even many old men, although I don’t think it’s a good look. The masks they wear are useless.

As with the Met Gala, where’s a meteor strike when you really need one?

So true. And this disease is not spread outdoors. I see idiots wearing masks while jogging or riding a bicycle.

Whaddya know? celebrities NOT practicing what they preach! NOT doing as THEY say!

It’s decades overdue, to start humiliating them - in the streets, the stores they shop, the restaurants , using their goddess maxine water’s “in THEIR faces” tactics!!!!

## I see somebody wearing mask, I see the enemy.

Personally, I think it’s fantastic that it’s so easy to spot them from a distance now.

What are the ‘Emmys’, and why should I care about them?

Yes, I'm still an MLB fan. I agree with you, but probably can't talk. Charlie Blackmon, a favorite of Rockies fans, is among the scruffiest.
