What are your thoughts on last night’s Emmy Awards ceremony and Kimmel’s performance? Bush also marked the beginning of the evening’s political humor, which took shots at the election and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“Thanks to Mark Burnett, we don’t have to watch reality shows anymore, because we’re living them”, Kimmel said. “We’re living in one”.
“If your show doesn’t have a dragon or a white Bronco in it, go home right now”, host Jimmy Kimmel joked at the start of the three-hour broadcast, a reference to Thrones and the infamous auto Simpson was in when he went on a wild ride through Los Angeles before his arrest.
It was a pattern that held out through the show, from an amusingly silly bit involving peanut-butter sandwiches to a more pointed yet still amusing joke built around using Bill Cosby as a presenter.
Game of Thrones won its 38th Emmy Award last night with its victory in the category of Outstanding Drama Series.
If you missed the Emmys, you may have missed host Jimmy Kimmel’s joke about Maggie not deserving her award because she wasn’t there.
Although she might not play Violet Crawley anytime soon, Smith clearly hasn’t lost her character’s wit. When The People vs. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story won multiple awards over the duration of the night, Jimmy wondered aloud if O. Two critical darlings earned major hardware, with surprise wins for Mr. Robot’s Malek and Orphan Black’s Maslany for outstanding lead actor and actress in a drama series, respectively.
Jill Soloway won her second consecutive Emmy for comedy series directing for her work on “Transparent”. Tambor discussed the controversial nature of his role as a transgender woman, saying he would like to see more roles for transgender actors.
Jeffrey Tambor: “May I be very clear about something”.
Clinton tweeted her congratulations to Kate McKinnon of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”, who won a supporting actress award for comedy.
“Game of Thrones” won best drama for the second year in a row on Sunday, and became prime-time television’s most-honored show ever.
Veep later picked up the Emmy for outstanding comedy series. He thanked his wife Michelle McNamara, who died suddenly last April. I’m recommending that we get rid of all Muslim and Mexican people from the ceremony. They accounted for four of the 27 awards, and only one for a prime-time scripted series. “I’m so glad he liked ‘Veep,’ because his opinion was the one that really mattered”.
Queen of comedy Julia Louis-Dreyfus was another familiar face who graced the stage, and her win was equally historic.
“She goes to other awards!” It’s a shame the Emmy voters didn’t keep that streak going by picking either Robot or The Americans over HBO’s repeat victor Game of Thrones – but still, those other wins were nearly enough to make you think they’ve finally actually started to watch television.
“She showed up at the Oscars to get an Oscar”.

“We’re standing up here because George Martin created the world that we all live and play in”, said co-creator Dan Weiss.
