Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were both nominated for Emmys today. She was nominated for The Morning Show, and got one for playing Dr. Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live.
Since they won’t be able to have another red carpet reunion (due to the coronavirus pandemic) as they did at the SAG Awards, I think they should watch it from one of their homes together. Could you imagine how everyone would go crazy over that? At least something would make TV’s biggest night worth watching.
If he is not up for it, then the Friends should all watch it together at the Friends’ set on the Warner Bros lot.
Isn’t everything about Jennifer Aniston and her reunions? Who will she reunite with on September 20th? Tune in to see. We know it won’t be her TMS co-star Reese Witherspoon, who was a three time loser today. Three chances and no nomination to call her own. I guess the Emmy voters don’t know who she is.
UPDATE:Jennifer Aniston made a funny when she reacted to her nomination. The actress wrote, “Verified
What a morning waking up to this news! I am so proud of my @themorningshow family. This team worked so, so hard to make the best show we possibly could, and I am truly honored to be a part of it. Thanks for this acknowledgment and congratulations to EVERYONE 👏🏼 🥳⠀

“Now, I’m just gonna have to figure out what MASK I’M GONNA WEAR 😷🤔💃🏼!!”
I wonder if she hired Brad Pitt’s people to give her a sense of humor so she can win the award?
Dylan McDermott received an Emmy nomination for his work in Netflix’s Hollywood today. The second time he has been nominated for one. The last time he got the honor was in 1999 for The Practice.
After a 21 year drought, you would think he would be excited about it. And you would be right. He was so happy, he did a dance. Not one that would win an Emmy, but it definitely won our hearts.
I am rooting for him because I thought he gave an Emmy worthy performance for the work he did on the period drama. Then again, I thought that he and Dermott Mulroney deserved it for LA to Vegas.
The Emmys is the first, and probably only, major awards show to air on its original date this year. While the Tonys is on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic and the Oscars will be delayed two months until April 25th, ABC says f*ck it. They are going on with the show on September 20th, and Jimmy Kimmel will be the master of ceremonies.
I bet you have a lot of questions, and the late night host has all the answers. Here they are, “I don’t know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it.” There you go!
ABC says they will announce further details at a later time. No sh!t, Sherlock. I doubt they will be able to do it in a theater with a full audience.
My friend and I were discussing that yesterday. She is like they can do it without an audience. I said, “The nominees and the presenters have to be there. What are they going to do, put all of the losers on the upper levels?” Then I added, “Imagine Jason Bateman looking down at the first floor and seeing the probable winner in his category there while all of the other losers are on the same level as him. We would see a lot of sad actors who knew they lost on our televisions before they actually found out.”
The other option is they can do like other unnamed awards shows and only invite the winners. How boring would it be if Alex Borstein was the only Supporting Actress in a Comedy sitting there while Kate McKinnon is home, eating ice cream, and watching TV’s biggest night on her TV? No fun at all.
Actually, I would rather watch the losers watch the show than the winners accept their awards. Let’s get to see those pissed off faces on our televisions. That I would tune in to watch.
Are you going to tune in to see what is most like going to be a huge mess? In Kimmel’s defense, what can be worst than hosting during the whole La La Land/Moonlight fiasco? This is a cakewalk as compared to that infamous Oscar night
Every award show since April has been canceled, postponed, or gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Primetime Emmys is planning to go on on September 29th on ABC. That is even though the Daytime and Creative Emmys are going virtual, and ATAS has canceled the Governors Ball.
The Television Academy and ABC say they “continue to plan for the 72nd Emmy Awards telecast on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2020. As discussions regarding the format and production of the Emmys evolve, Scherma said both the Academy and ABC are committed to delivering a show that honors television’s unparalleled role throughout 2020 in bringing people together during a worldwide pandemic as well as acknowledge and support the unprecedented national and global demand for social justice and equality.”
No offense to the other award shows, but the Emmys are too big to go virtual. They need to have the cast and crews there in the audience with the host (they need to have one of those too). The winner and the nominees cannot be sitting at home. If the Tonys can postpone their show indefinitely and the Oscars is thinking of moving their event, I cannot understand why the Emys think they can go in less than three months.
Especially since they normally lead into the fall television season, and it doesn’t look like there is going to be one in the traditional sense.
Do you think the Emmys should go on as is, or wait until things are more closer to normal?
BTW I just realized by watching last year’s opening; I didn’t watch the Emmys. Therefore, I don’t understand why I care, but I do.
Pat Sajak is nominated for Outstanding Game Show Host, and he will do anything to win his third Daytime Emmy Award in that category.
Don’t believe me? Here is what the Wheel of Fortune host wrote on Twitter, “To Daytime Emmy voters: The last time I won was 1998. I’ve been nominated again this year, but who knows how many years I have left? So I’ve made a decision: I’m willing to pay handsomely for your vote. Please contact me through my representative. You won’t be sorry. #1More4Pat.”
Considering he is 73 years old, he might be right. However, the odds are stacked against him because he is nominated along with Alex Trebek, Wayne Brady, Alex Trebek, Steve Harvey, Alex Trebek, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Alex Trebek. I will take, who actually thinks he has a chance of winning against Alex Trebek? Ah, that is why Sajak wants to buy the award, and I lost on Jeopardy.
To see if his evil plan worked, tune into CBS on June 26th to watch the awards show.
