Nostalgia when you have us!

75^es The Primetime Emmy Awards did not salute programs on the 2022-2023 television calendar. The Academy took the opportunity to highlight the contributions of some of the most notable series of the past 75 years, often reuniting the show's cast as part of the set and faithfully recreating it on stage. In this way, we attended the reunion of the actors Cheers Ted Danson, Kelsey Kramer, Rhea Perlman, George Wendt and John Ratzenberger were the team behind the counter of the famous Boston bar. distribution Gray bodyIt starts in its 20's^e Season (!) in March, subject to the same treatment.

We also enjoyed watching the actorsAlly McBealLed by Calista Flockhart, dancing You are the first, the last, my everything By Barry White in a mixed bathroom. As for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's Weekend Update, we would have really appreciated it if it lasted more than a minute.

Thanks in a hurry

Most of the winners respected the 45 seconds set aside to thank their loved ones, most likely host Anthony Anderson's mother, who sat on the floor, instructing her to loudly intervene if any of them violated her time. The matriarch took her responsibilities seriously, challenging Jennifer Coolidge (White lotus), was crowned Best Actress in a Drama Series at the start of the ceremony. This incident left its mark, and after that, we felt the rush of every winner … hurt emotions. However, a handful of winners gave touching speeches, including Neysie Nash Betts (Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series).

Gala fatigue

Despite the spirited entertainment of Anthony Anderson, I couldn't help but think about it all evening: the gala season has just begun, and we already feel a certain weariness of award ceremonies. It should be said that in the space of a week, American networks broadcast three similar ceremonies: the Golden Globes (January 7), the Critics' Choice Awards (January 14) and finally, the Emmys (January 15). This sequence was obviously not planned. Due to the Hollywood screenwriters' and actors' strikes that were in full swing last September, the television industry was forced to postpone its high mass for a few months. As a result? On several occasions on Monday, the winners were the same, which made us want to watch a repeat of the previous two ceremonies. All this, the Grammy Academy simultaneously announced on Facebook, in other words, the distribution of golden statues is far from over.
