'An Emmy isn’t going to bring back Michael K. Williams, but it would have been nice to see his legacy honored... It looks like voters pretty much watched 'The Crown' and nothing else,' -GlennWhipp
. Now it’s time to settle in for the ceremony itself — and what would an awards show be without some shouts from the balcony? Keep it here throughout the night as awards columnist Glenn Whipp and staff writer Meredith Blake break down the best speeches, biggest upsets and other top stories of Sunday’s Emmys live.
Michael K. Williams poured everything he had into the characters he played, including the difficult, haunted Montrose on “Lovecraft Country.” Williams gave everything. No disrespect to Menzies, but these Emmys give me the impression that voters just watched a handful of shows -- “The Crown,” “Ted Lasso” and “Mare of Easttown.” Oh, and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” which won for the umpteenth time. And the mediocre “Saturday Night Live” ... again.
Yeah, so far this ceremony feels reminiscent of last year when three shows -- “Schitt’s Creek,” “Watchmen” and “Succession” -- dominated their categories. Right now, “Ted Lasso” and “Mare of Easttown” are 2 for 2. And “The Crown” lurks once drama awards begin. Not exactly the kind of thing that keeps you on the edge of your seat. — GW
