Live Blog: The 67th Emmy Awards

The 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Fox this Sunday, September 20 at 8 p.m ET and 7 p.m. Connecticut . The show will be broadcast from the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and Andy Samberg, who stars in Brooklyn Nine Nine, will host the Emmy Awards for his first time ever. Stonestreet, meanwhile, joked that the two-pronged microphone looked like “Schweddy balls”, referring to Alec Baldwin’s classic “Saturday Night Live” sketch.

“Sure, Donald Trump seems racist”, he said. “What else?” Nominations for two black women – How to Get Away with Murder’s Viola Davis and Empire’s Taraji P. Henson, are a first.

Obviously, you can watch the telecast on Fox if you have access to it, but if you don’t, what’s an avid TV viewer like yourself to do in this situation? “Don’t fact-check that”. “The show won a Peabody Award, an AFI award, a Golden Globe nomination and TCA nominated it for best new show. In the categories that are less interesting to America and to the viewers across the country, we will probably not spend as much time with those”. “I feel like I won the lottery”, said Janney, who also gave a shout-out to the sitcom’s producer Chuck Lorre for “thinking of me to play” her character on the hit show. Modern Family has won the award since 2010, and the show has won 21 Emmy Awards in all. She’s got the star power and…

Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones are costumed period pieces that don’t have the backbone for the big prize. Better Call Saul is a very good series, but its just not Breaking Bad.

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the ceremony as history could be made Sunday.

Another show that is donezo that’s expected to get some cred for its longevity rather than its last season performance is Parks and Recreation, with its nominations for best comedy series and lead actress in a comedy (Amy Poehler). Then again, this is the past year for Mad Men, as well.

Industry watchers predict Hamm – whose portrayal of the dashing but troubled Don Draper has defined AMC’s classic show about the advertising industry in 1960s New York – will take home the trophy for best actor in a drama.

Jaimie Alexander, Anthony Anderson, James Corden, Jamie Lee Curtis, Will Forte, Rob Lowe, Gina Rodriguez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Liev Schrieber, Adrien Brody, Mel Brooks, Reg E.
