But her speech was a highly resonant work of art in itself, packing so much insight and drama into just a couple of minutes. She began by saying, “I just wrote a little something for writers, really” — but it was a lot more than that, and her words hit home. “Write the tale that scares you, that makes you feel uncertain. That isn’t comfortable.” Her advice to her fellow writers: “Visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success.
Olivia Colman, one of the best things ever to emerge from England, won for playing one of the worst. Gillian Anderson also won for playing an even more dismal relic of British history inbut it’s always cool to see Anderson win anything.
As for actors of color? Not a single one won in any acting categories at all, yet another embarrassment for the Emmys. Amy Poehler got to present an award near the end, positively beaming with joy that she wasn’t hosting this fiasco. She asked a relevant question on behalf of the audience: “What time is it and how do we get out of here?” Conan O’Brien had more fun just lurking in the audience and losing than most of the winners. All night long, as soon as the show got a real dramatic moment — Jean Smart or Jason Sudeikis winning — the Emmy honchos couldn’t shut them up and play them off fast enough.

Looking back now... The album is fucked up! Cold and 👽 At the time it was very surreal and influential in my development. Irritating... Turning the music inside out and just guts and organs intricately complex and sick But meaningful. Too.
I think we can all agree that CBS should never air the Emmys again. The producers did last years (much better) show. Only the network and host changed.
