WELCOME to the live thread for the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards! This is your space to sound-off during the annual Emmy ceremony as well as the red carpet arrival, if you arrive early and have thoughts on the fashion. Give us your witty comments, hot takes, and sharp criticisms to help make this long award show tolerable (but it's gotta be better than this year's Oscars, right?). 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!
