What I’m watching
Emmy Thoughts
The Emmys were super Boring this year, and I highly recommend now not watching them live, i fast forwarded my way through the boringness and got the highlights in way less time. But as I usually post a roundup .. its late but its here.
Best Dresses
Thoughts
- Really the only thought I should have is that Mrs Maisel is Amazing it deserved its 5 awards and EVERYBODY should be watching. Rachel Brosnahan speech was really cute too
- Game of Thrones although boring that it keeps winning is just a solid great show. I
- The we solved it song was cute, but really with all that musical talent on stage (Ricky Martin! John Legend!) could we have done something better? (also you have Darren Criss up for an award and you don’t use his voice ??)
- I loved the fact that Darren Criss Won, I have been his biggest fan since Glee and loved him being recognized
- The hosts, just not good. Or totally mediocre i might add.
- Claire Foy is amazing in the Crown and I love her and the show (And it is her last time to be able to win). However, Sandra Oh is amazing, Killing Eve is amazing and it was just too hard a decision to make. Does this mean Sandra Oh can win next year??
- I am here for on camera proposals! (although really, does anybody want to be proposed to in public??)
