I haven’t willingly watched the Emmys in years because there is no one for me to root for. This year, I have a lot to root for.
While they still had a lot of their pompous choices like The Handmaid’s Tale and Mom, they also had a lot of surprises like Conan, The Boys, Cobra Kai (in comedy), and Kenan Thompson for Kenan and Saturday Night Live, to name a few.
Between the nominees and Cedric the Entertainer hosting, I think the Emmys’ rating slide might end. At least it should because they went a little bit more mainstream thanks to Disney+’s programs The Mandalorian, WandaVision, and Hamilton being nominated.
The Emmys air on Sunday, September 19th. To see who all the nominations, then
