I’m personally crossing my fingers for Sam Rockwell, Niecy Nash, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jason Bateman, RuPaul’s Drag Race, James Corden, and EVERY Comedy series.
My top favorite shows for 2018 & 2019 are all nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Truth: I will cry for JOY if the adorable Canadian Levy family wins for Schitt’s Creek. I just can’t get enough of it!
Unpopular Opinion: I know GOT (Game of Thrones) is a great series. It is well made, well written, well executed (pun intended). But it’s time for someone else to win. There are some new shows that are absolute genius that deserve not to be overshadowed by GOT. (i.e. Killing Eve)
There ya go, I think you are well informed on this years Emmy Awards.
I can’t wait to watch along with you! I will be attending the Red Carpet in the FOX Prime Time Emmy Awards Red Carpet Bleachers this year! I am so excited to put on my favorite blue dress and see all the celebrities!!!!
Manifestation happens! And by the way, I’ve already done a red carpet before! Click here to see My Experience Walking the Red Carpet
I love awards shows, too! I often go for spells not watching them, and then catch one or two and remember how fun they can be!
OMG I wish we could get together and watch it!!!!
I remember when I was younger I would watch these awards shows just to see all the beautiful shoes and dresses!
Right?! The fashion is 50% of it!
I’ve never been one for award shows but one of my sisters absolutely adores them and is always so excited. It’s fun to watch them with her just because of her contageous excitement. (She’s the same way with shows like American Idol :)). I know she eager for September!
I think I love your sister. We should best friends!
I’m so excited for you Meg! I’m not personally into Award Shows but I have a sister who is and I know she would be overjoyed if she had the chance to go. Enjoy every minute!
Thanks Sara!!!!
