71st Primetime Emmy Awards (via Giphy)

WELCOME to the live thread for the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards! This is your space to sound-off during the annual Primetime Emmy ceremony, even if this ceremony is sure to be weird with its remotely-done production. Give us your witty comments, hot takes, and sharp criticisms to help make this show tolerable. Winners will be announced in the comment stream (gifs included) and will also be intermittently added to The Winner's Guide section below. So let's get to it!
