I don't know if it's just me but I felt no anticipation for this year's Emmys. I usually love award shows but had no idea this was even happening today...

I hope Anthony Carrigan and Sarah Goldberg take some wins tonight. They are fantastic in Barry and need more recognition.

I mean, I'm already salty about it and Ioved the vast majority of GOT. Should I take this to mean you guys think it actually deserves to win for this season?

I don't think it deserves the writing award, but other awards are ok with me. I don't think it was the best show this season (though there were some great episodes) but if they choose to recognize the work of the cast and crew to put on a show unlike anything ever aired on television before I won't complain.

Hope Bob Odenkirk finally wins tonight for his role in Better Call Saul, possibly his best chance.

Boy the comedy categories are extremely strong. No idea how I'd even vote for that writing one.
