The Emmys

Rico says he didn't watch (though he's sure Colbert was great) but Yahoo has an article, via The Associated Press, by Lynn Elber about the winners:

The dystopian vision of The Handmaid's Tale, the deeply cynical Washington comedy Veep, and the ever-topical Saturday Night Live won top series honors Sunday in an Emmy Awards ceremony that took almost nonstop aim at President Donald Trump in awards and speeches.
"Go home, get to work, we have a lot of things to fight for," producer Bruce Miller said in accepting the best drama trophy for A Handmaid's Tale, which also won best drama writing and directing awards and a best actress trophy for Elisabeth Moss. A beaming Margaret Atwood, whose 1985 novel is the show's source, was onstage.
Sterling K. Brown, whose role in This Is Us earned him the top drama series actor trophy, paid tribute to the last African-American man to win in the category, Andre Braugher, in 1998 for Homicide: Life on the Street.
"Nineteen years ago, Detective Frank Pemberton held this joint," Brown, holding his Emmy aloft and saying it was his "supreme honor" to follow Braugher. He was good-natured as the orchestra cut into his speech, but it seemed a glaring misstep on a night in which the academy reveled in the industry's newfound diversity.
Earlier, Nicole Kidman spoke uninterrupted for two minutes and 45 seconds, while Brown got a minute and 58 seconds before he was played off, a significant difference, given the short time winners get to say their piece.
Moss won her first Emmy and thanked her mother in a speech that was peppered with expletives, while Ann Dowd won supporting actress honors for the drama.
Donald Glover (no relation to Danny Glover) won the best comedy actor for Atlanta, which he created and which carries his distinctive voice, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored for a sixth time for her role as a self-absorbed politician in Veep, named best comedy for the third time.
"I want to thank Trump for making black people Number One on the most-oppressed list. He's the reason I'm probably up here," Glover said, acknowledging the entertainment industry's and the Emmys' tilt toward the nonstop political under Trump.
Combined with Emmys that Louis-Dreyfus has won for Seinfeld and New Adventures of Old Christine, her latest trophy tied her with Cloris Leachman as the most-winning Emmy performer ever.
Host Stephen Colbert's song-and-dance opening, with help from Chance the Rapper, included the song Everything Is Better on TV, which, among other Trump digs, mentioned his alleged ties to Russia and included the lyric "even treason is better on TV."
Saturday Night Live triumphed for an entire season of skewering Trump.
"I remember the first time we won this award," creator Lorne Michaels said in accepting the show's trophy for best variety sketch series. "It was after the first season in 1976. I remember thinking that this was the high point," and there would never be "another season as crazy, as unpredictable, as frightening, as exhausting or as exhilarating. Turns out I was wrong."
The trophies for best supporting comedy acting went to Kate McKinnon, who played Hillary Clinton on Saturday Night Live, and Alec Baldwin for his Trump portrayal on the show. McKinnon thanked Clinton for her "grace and grit". Baldwin spoke directly to Trump, who has complained in the past that he was cheated out of a trophy for hosting Celebrity Apprentice: "I suppose I should say that 'At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.'"
Melissa McCarthy was honored at last weekend's creative arts Emmys as best guest actress for her Saturday Night Live work, including portraying Sean Spicer. The former White House press secretary made a surprise appearance, wheeling in his own podium.
"This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period. Both in person and around the world," Spicer shouted with authority, echoing his claim that Trump's inauguration crowd was the biggest ever, and evoking McCarthy's manic portrayal of him:

John Lithgow, who received the best supporting drama actor for his role as British leader Winston Churchill in The Crown, took a more diplomatic approach to political commentary. "Most of all, I have to thank Winston Churchill. In these crazy times, his life, even as an old man, reminds us what courage and leadership in government really looks like," Lithgow said.
Many celebrities wore blue ribbons to support the American Civil Liberties Union, which is seeking to shed light on the plight of young immigrants facing the potential of being deported.

Rico says he doesn't think Trump gets it that he's the joke here...
