Winner: Jason Sudeikis Wins Leading Actor in a Ted Lasso Comedy Series
stars of law and order Chris Meloni And the Mariska Hargitay They pretend to be investigating Amy’s theft. But it does appear in Law and Order: SVU, which somehow indicates that the Emmy statue was attacked. Who cares – they are both super hot and that really doesn’t make sense.
Sudeikis took to the stage to win another bell for Ted Lasso, a repeat last year. It still baffles me that the TV equivalent of beige still dominates the comedy categories, but I think it’s nice.
We are now in remembrance of the evening, with Betty White, Nichelle Nichols, Bob Saget, James Caan, Gilbert Gottfried, Ray Liotta, Sidney Poitier and Anne Hechey All mentioned. Like we’ve said every year since around 2016: It’s really been a big year for celebrity deaths.
John Legend performance. It’s undoubtedly impressive, but it seems like the only time I’ve seen him perform was at anniversaries. I just checked and he’s only done it once before, at the 2017 Grammy Awards, so it’s really just a sense to make it happen. Sorry John.

The comedian is up to the stage, winning well deservedly for his comedy special Jerrod Carmichael: Ruthaniel. (If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend you go find it any way you can – it’s absolutely gorgeous.)

Winner: Mike White wins Best Director for a Limited Series
Diego Luna And the Rosario Dawson Take to the stage to announce the nominees for Best Director in a Limited Series. Dawson makes an embarrassing joke about being ambushed in a dark parking lot, which seems to bother everyone. Can’t they give bidders a very difficult lead time, too?

If you missed it earlier, here’s Sheryl Lee Ralph’s highly touching speech for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, for her role at Abbott Elementary School.

If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I’d say ‘You’ll see that person, but bitch must be you.’” “
The big contestants (the show contestants) are in the back and have the time of their lives.
Winner: Amanda Seyfried Wins Lead Actress in a Limited Series
Seyfried won her performance as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout. Her slightly panicked speech made me feel that they should write threats on the teleprompter to motivate anyone who stays longer than 20 seconds.
Winner: Jennifer Coolidge Wins a Supporting Actress in a Limited Series
Freddy Highmore, who plays a doctor on the show Nobody Watches, thanks the doctors for being doctors, then goes to the award announcement. Five of the seven nominees in this category are in The White Lotus, and the Queen wins: Jennifer Coolidge.
“Oh, hi,” Coolidge purred, then sped off in her adorable way. “I took a lavender bath tonight and it made me swollen inside my dress, and I’m having a hard time speaking. This is so exciting—first, my gosh, I didn’t think it would happen,” she says with a laugh as she opens a scrambled speech. The music begins: “Wait, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing – I’m full, I’m full!” She says, before she defiantly dances to the playoffs.
I love her. We all love her. Let’s put it all in.
We’re in an hour and we have our first slap joke from Will Smith. I salute the restraint.
There was only a weird extended movie that seemed to promote the work of the editors and a particular car brand that I won’t mention here because they don’t pay us to advertise it in blood, right. He got some confused applause at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. It makes me feel better that even millionaires with their golden idols watch this stuff too.
Winner: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won Best Variety Talk Series
Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short present this award, reminding everyone why they are so excellent together at Only Murders in the Building and making everyone wish a little bit that he hosted them.
In any case, John Oliver wins; British comedian Martin and Short rode while receiving his statue. He also notes the punitive clock in his speech, saying it says “stop now” in capital letters. I’ve decided that I like this super fast, though so please pray for the Guardian to edit all my spelling in these posts.
Winner: Saturday Night Live wins Best Variety Show
Lorne Michaels took to the stage to receive the award, thanking the cast for their “full appearance” during the pandemic. This is SNL’s 87th Emmy Award win. This is correct.
