I was still on local news in L.A., which naurally is full of Emmys coverage. And, distracted by reading DU and doing other things, I'm finding it very hard to focus on the Emmys program even though it's on my TV in the background. I'm going to have to watch the repeat.

Andy Samberg (who is usually funny) just bombed with his opening routine. He should have gotten Tina Fey to write his lines.

I laughed at but overall it just seemed flat to me. Some comics don't always make great award show hosts. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Tina and Amy.

For every anti Trump, Trump slam made by the "liberal Hollywood elite" on national TV, he'll pick
up one more percentage point in the polling.

Assuming he's even watching it, he's probably laughing his ass off all the ways to the primaries.

I never thought I would cringe more than when Seth MacFarlane hosted the Oscars. Actually, I still didn't, but this was terrible.

I love How to get away with Murder and she is absolutely amazing on that show

I still can't believe she is the first African American woman who has won Best Lead Actress in a Drama

And a big congrats also to Regina King. American Crime was incredible - it was because of her and Felicity Huffman. 2 strong women portraying 2 strong women!
