After a very tumultuous week in America, the 77th Emmy Primetime Emmy began as a too tempered ceremony, then dissolved quickly in a frantic program full of unexpected victories (especially delicious). The television academy had made a surprising choice during the announcement that the actor Nate Bargatze would take the scene as a host, and he did not exactly make his mark. From his opening monologue, Bargatze gave an almost unpleasant apolitical tone for the evening. He did not have the enthusiasm and the mouth necessary to carry out a three -hour award program and often seemed amazed to be under the spotlight. At one point, he even put on a terrible Canadian tuxedo, which may have been a wink to the controversial announcement of controversial jeans by Sydney Sweeney. (It would have been good if that and many other Bargatze jokes landed more clearly.)
Bargatze did not open its doors with a monologue, but with a sketch, and it was a means, a comment on the absurdity of our current chaotic television landscape. Bargatze launched a beard at CBS (where EMMYS were broadcast) by calling it the Caucasus diffusion system, a wink to the sparse number of people of color leading to network programming during prime times.
During his next appearance, Bargatze rocked things up when he was announced a challenge for the winners. The host explained to the public that he would make a donation of $ 100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, but if the winners’ speeches last more than 45 seconds, then the money would be exhausted from the pot. Speeches under the limit of 45 seconds would add additional funds to the swimming pool. For the public at home, it initially seemed to be an inventive solution, because the EMMYS are known to eat. However, after the first winners, Catherine Lanasa (“The Pitt”) and Trammell Tillman (“dryer”), rushed through their acceptance speeches – Lanasa was a surprise, Tillman had been anticipated – it was clear that this “challenge” was an unconted tactic of Bargatze and Jesse Collins entertaining the producers.
Although the 45 -second ceiling on the speeches of the prize winners certainly maintained the show on time, the winners seemed to be enlarged and precipitated, being almost in progress in their big moment instead of being authorized to bask in something they worked so hard to obtain. This misstep has become clearly obvious when the presenters bordered again and again, eating time that could have been given to the winners. (The presenters were not under the same period of crunch.) There was also the random warning of the Bargatze actor, recruiting JB Smoove and four adorable children to represent boys and girls clubs, which led children obviously confused to go out each time to help escort the presenters and winners of the scene.
As live shows tend to do so, the Emmys started to move in real time. There was a multitude of upheavals, which added excitation. Lanasa hung the support actress in a drama on the favorite of “White Lotus”, Carrie Coon, and shortly after, Britt Lower of “Severance” conquered Kathy Bates of “Matlock” for the actress in a drama. (She may have even delivered her acceptance speech like her character, Helly R.)
As the star of “Hacks”, Hannah Einbinder, won to support the actress in a comedy – her first Emmy – it was clear that the winners were ready to recover their time and the show. (Even if it meant covering the donations of boys and girls clubs on their own pocket.) And Einbinder was the first actor of the night to become a political scene, proudly declaring: “Go Birds, fucks ice and free Palestine.” The fan of Philadelphia Eagles passed the time ceiling of 45 seconds well, saying: “I will make the difference.” When Jeff Hiller won for his amazing role in HBO “Somebody Worened”, he thanked his co-star Bridget Everett and the creators of the show to “write a show at a time when compassion is considered a weakness”. However, it took until the star of “The Penguin” Cristin Milioti hung his prize to the actress in a dramatic series so that someone looks like having really liked to make their speech.
Other highlights and surprising victories came with the victory of Owen Cooper for his role in “Adolescence”, making the youngest 15 -year winner in the category of limited series. The stars of “Gilmore Girls” Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel made a very cute tribute for the 25th anniversary of the show, joking about the ultra-basic budget of the show and the obsession of the fall. Stephen Colbert won his first Emmy after the cancellation of “The Late Show” earlier this year, and delivered an inspiring speech, ending with his love for America and reminding us all (via a quotation from the prince), “if an elevator try to make you fall, go crazy and hit a upper floor!”
Overall, the show was full of pleasant upheavals, and well -deserved scales of “The Studio” and “Adolescence”. There was a meli-melo of good speeches, and some sincere moments celebrating the PBS and the inheritance of “Law & Order”. The very first victory of the Emmy Emmy of Noah Wyle for the main actor in a drama, he dedicated the price to the workers of the hospital, as described on “The Pitt”. At that time, thank God, the 45-second clock was ignored. And at the end, Bargatze announced that the frenzy of Don of everything had been a (bad) joke, of course, and he and CBS gave $ 350,000 to the Boys & Girls Club after all, even if the speech clock was very in the red. If they wanted to look at lost time, the call came from inside the house.
