 yes saw that once I posted ALL the emmys. That's good. .for McCarthy. I don't really care much for attacking others. Hers those I thought was cute.
Baldwin? not so much
I just don't think it right they nominate those on Hulu and Netflix That you don't SEE on TV.
I think low rating bit of both . Some tire of the stupid attacks that the presenter, winners and the hosts do and just sign of the times.

Melissa did win an Emmy for playing Sean Spicer but it was given out during The Creative Arts Emmys that aired last week. I've read the ratings hit an all time low this year. I'm not a fan of Stephen Colbert so not sure if his pick for host had anything to do with low ratings. Plus now that all the shows that stream on Hulu and Netflix get nominated, if you don't have those services chances are you haven't seen some of the big winners of the night like Handmade's Tales I wish they would make them available on cable tv that I already pay for! I do have HBO and was thrilled for Big Little Lies it deserved all the awards!! My favorite win of the night was Ann Dowd! She's an amazing actress who's been nominated 7 times over the years and this was her first win! She was so surprised and grateful, loved it!!

Monologue wasn't too bad. I wonder why Melissa McCarthy
wasn't up for an award for her playing Sean
Spicer.  She looks just like him. was
neat.I highlighted in red what I thot the neatest in his
mono,.And so another
Emmy Awards in the books.


Emmys:
Read Stephen Colbert's Opening
Monologue

  He
took aim at President Trump in a majority of his comments.
Stephen
Colbert kicked off the 69th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday
night with a song-and-dance number praising television
before moving into his monologue, during which he took aim
at President Trump, lamented Oprah Winfrey's Emmy snub
and both thanked Leslie Moonves and accepted his own
gratitude on behalf of the absent CBS Corp. chairman and
CEO, among other quips.Read
a full transcription of Colbert's opening monologue
below.Good
evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the 69th Emmy
Awards. I'm your host Stephen Colbert. This is exciting,
can you feel, this is TV's highest honors. Us
celebrating us. Tonight, we binge ourselves, can you feel
it? This room is crackling with the qualitative energy of
people who for the last 48 hours have consumed nothing but
distilled water and Crest White Strips.         
All
the nominees look so beautiful this evening, so happy, so
hopeful. Just a reminder if you do win, don't forget to
thank everyone who helped you get up here, mainly Game
of Thrones for
not being eligible this year. Now, personally I have to take
a moment to thank CBS chairman Leslie Moonves — I
literally have to thank him. It's in my contract.
Unfortunately, Les could not be tonight to receive my
gratitude, so I accepted on his behalf.We
did it. But while we are thanking people, nobody deserves
more thanks right now than our first responders. They have
been working tirelessly following the disasters in Texas and
Florida. And we have to thank also the friends who showed up
with the food. The neighbors with boats, the nuns with
chainsaws, the complete strangers who stepped up to help
rebuild. If you haven't donated to the hurricane relief
yet, you still can by going to handinhand2017.com and giving
generously. I believe Billy Eichner is still standing by to
take your call. How's it going Billy?Billy
Eichner: "Stephen I'm on the phone! Please
don't embarrass me in front of Louie Anderson. Oh, they
just hung up."I
apologize to all of you. Well, what a year it has been for
television. The industry is booming, there are over 450
original scripted shows made this year. Of course, there's
no way anyone could possibly watch that much TV, other than
the president, who seems to have a lot of time for that sort
of thing. Hello sir, thank you for joining us! Looking
forward to the tweets.         
And there have never been more platforms to
get your TV than right now. You have broadcast, you have
cable, you have Amazon, you have YouTube, Hulu, voodoo,
Netflix, Vitamix, Vimeo, you have Twitch, you have Crackle,
you have Crunchle, Bumble, Twerk-gorp, Flurp, Uber-eyeball,
and DintyMooreStew.com. Oh yes, it's going to be in the
trades tomorrow. Dinty Moore has a 10-episode deal with
Martin Scorsese. Rumor is, Liev Schreiber is playing a
brooding chunk of meat. Yes, just like that, but with
carrots and potatoes around
him.Of
course, these days everyone loves streaming video, just ask
Ted Cruz. But knock first — you want to just walk in?
Netflix alone raked in 92 Emmy nominations this year. Why
not? And may I remind you, five years ago their hottest show
was a scratched DVD of Finding Nemo.Now
we've got amazing shows like Stranger Things.
Millie Bobby Brown is here tonight. She's amazing in that
show, proving once and for all that there are roles in
Hollywood for women over 12.Of
course, premium cable still has a ton of great shows. I'm
sure HBO will take home a lot of Emmys tonight, which
they'll have to melt down to pay for next year's hacker
ransom. Too soon?Broadcast
TV also had its triumphs this year, remember broadcast? The
TV O.G.? Where it started? Broadcast TV is breaking new
ground. In fact, this season, CBS will have twice as many
Sheldons as any other network in history. All the broadcast
networks have put out great shows the past year, like
This Is Us,
incredible.But
seriously, Milo, you're going to die this season, right?
Just give us a hint. Do you slip in a bathtub? Bad clams?
Are you mauled by a circus lion in a convenience store? What
happens? I'm just saying, your fans want to see you dead.
It's a compliment.And
this has been a great year for diversity in television. In
fact, for the third year in a row, this is the most diverse
group of nominees in Emmy history. That's impressive, I
did not know you could applaud while patting yourself on the
back at the same time. Well done, lovely job.And
there's so many talented African-American nominees.
Jeffrey Wright, Viola Davis, Samira Wiley, Uzo Aduba,
Anthony Anderson from ABC's Black-ish,
and of course Bill Maher. I assume he's black since he's
so comfortable using the N-word. I don't know. Goodnight!
That's my time everybody.There's
so many stars here tonight. Oprah, Oprah's in the front
row right now. Yeah, Oprah was snubbed this year, what is
wrong with you people? What in the Immortal Life of
Henrietta Lacks is
wrong with you people? I'm so sorry, Oprah, I was really
hoping this would be your breakout year. Hopefully next year
you'll have a better seat. I'm sorry.         
But
if we're honest with ourselves as artists — and we have
to be honest with ourselves — we know that the biggest TV
star of the last year is Donald Trump. No, we may not like
it, but he's the biggest star. And you know, Alec Baldwin,
obviously. You guys are neck and neck. And Alec, you're up
against a lot of neck. However you feel about the president,
and you do feel about the president, you can't deny that
every show was influenced by Donald Trump in some way. All
the late-night shows obviously, House of Cards,
the new season of American Horror Story,
and of course, next year's Latin Grammys, hosted by
Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Muy caliente. And we all know the Emmys
mean a lot to Donald Trump, because he was nominated
multiple times for Celebrity Apprentice,
but he never won. Why didn't you give him an Emmy? I tell
you this, if he had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn't have
run for president. So in a way, this is all your fault. I
thought you people loved morally compromised antiheroes. You
liked Walter White, he's just Walter Much-Whiter. And he
never forgave you, and he never will. The president has
complained repeatedly that the Emmys are rigged. He even
went after the host a few years back, tweeting, "That Seth
Meyers is hosting the Emmy Awards is a total joke. He is
very awkward with almost no talent. Marbles in his
mouth!" Wow, marbles in his mouth, that's harsh.
That's quite an accusation, do you have a response Seth?
(Marbles fall out of Meyers' mouth).And
even during the campaign, he wouldn't let it go. This
actually happened, this exchange actually happened in the
debates. (Video showing Clinton mentioning Trump's Emmy
loss in debate).But
he didn't. Because unlike the presidency, Emmys go to the
winner of the popular vote. Where do I find the courage to
tell that joke in this room? Of course, what really matters
to Donald Trump is ratings. He's got to have the big
numbers, and I certainly hope we achieve that
tonight.Unfortunately,
at this point, we have no way of knowing how big our
audience is. I mean, is there anyone who could say how big
the audience is? Sean, do you know? (Sean Spicer comes out
on podium).Sean
Spicer: "This will be the largest audience to
witness an Emmys, period. Both in person, and around the
world."Wow,
that really soothes my fragile ego. I can understand why
you'd want one of these guys around. Melissa McCarthy
everyone, give it up!
Beautiful.
