Hahahahaha! I'd like to think it won for the "bad pussy" line.

My first thought also. :lol

 

[Jarmel]

"You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy."

The guy who wrote that line just won an Emmy for best writing.

Emmy level writing right there. Not anybody could come up with that.

 

[Nobility]

I think the award should have gone to The Americans.

The writing on that show is on another level. Still don't understand why it doesn't get more respect in the tv circles.

 

[Discotheque]

Hahahahaa game of thrones over mad men writing

"You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy."

The guy who wrote that line just won an Emmy for best writing.

AND in the same season for that Sansa rape trash

l o l

writing is like, the very last thing GoT should be recognized for

 

[zeemumu]

Was that Emma Roberts yelling at that lady in that commercial?

 

[Wingfan19]

Was that Emma Roberts yelling at that lady in that commercial?

Yes and that lady was Jaimie Lee Curtis

The channel it's on (FX)? It brings back memories of The Shield.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

seriously they need to stop encouraging the GOT writers. They are trash.

 

[Ogimachi]

I guess this is why HBO told GRRM he couldn't miss this one, even on his birthday. They either knew the results beforehand or "arranged" them.

 

[TWrecks310]

Literally anyone besides GoT should have won, and I like this past season more than most.

The Americans is 100% robbed tonight.

 

[CharminUltra]

"Oh, the Emmy's are on tonight."

*Turns TV on, tunes in, GoT award*

"Ah well, still shit I see. Back to Mario Maker!"

*Turns TV off*

 

[Fantastical]

LAUREN FUCKING LAPKUS

 

[anaron]

the dragging of TD has been THE BEST

 

[F0rneus]

GoT? This season? Really?

 

[zeemumu]

Yes and that lady was Jaimie Lee Curtis

Shit I didn't even recognize her. They're both there for Scream Queens right?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Hahahahaa game of thrones over mad men writing

Yeah, I don't get it. Mother's Mercy was definitely the strongest episode of that season, but compared to Mad Men's last block of episodes...just no.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I don't really pay attention to awards shows, but when I do, I always see shows getting awards right when they turn the point from being good to sucking. Like, GoT is pretty good, but the last season of GoT? God, no.

 

[TWrecks310]

"Oh, the Emmy's are on tonight."

*Turns TV on, tunes in, GoT award*

"Ah well, still shit I see. Back to Mario Maker!"

*Turns TV off*

Game of Thrones is allowed to win an award tonight, just not one for writing.

 

[jett]

How the hell did GoT win over Mad Men? This is pathetic.

 

[Altazor]

I like GOT, but this season was weak. And winning over Mad Men and Better Call Saul? ABSURD.

 

[The Artisan]

missed a good chunk of this because of fear the walking dead.

 

[Mushroomer25]

How the hell did GoT win over Mad Men? This is pathetic.

They split the vote by nominating two episodes. Nobody watches The Americans, and I imagine the voting base thought Breaking Bad had gotten enough praise.

 

[giga]

GoT winning in writing over *two* excellent Mad Men episodes means Hamm is not getting it.

 

[Wingfan19]

Man I love Emma Roberts.

 

[Judderman]

YAY!

 

[Nudull]

GoT winning? What the shit?

 

[Fuzzy]

Crazy Eyes deserved it.

 

[anaron]

YES

 

[TWrecks310]

At least they got that one right

 

[AlexMeloche]

Uzo yasssssss

 

[Grizzlyjin]

If Clarke wins, I'm dipping.

EDIT: It was Uzo, thank goodness.

 

[Sober]

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Uzo Aduba for "Orange Is the New Black"

 

[Nobility]

Glad for Uzo, Hendricks can't win in that loaded category.

 

[lazybones18]

the shutout for Mad Men cast continues

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Emilia Clarke was nominated?! lol a piece of wood has more range than she does in that show.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Emilia Clarke was nominated for an Emmy? For acting?

 

[shadowkat]

Yay Uzo

 

[TheAbsolution]

God, I love this woman. She is amazing.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I was expecting Emilia Clarke there. Guess there is still some sanity.

 

[Jigorath]

Oh thank God, I was worried they'd give it to Clarke.

Well deserved win for Uzo.

 

[- J - D -]

Uzo! Well deserved

 

[giga]

Emilia Clarke?

 

[zeemumu]

 

[Nameless]

Game of Thrones does not deserve to win that

Game of Thrones....really?

Get out.

As a GoT fan, Bull-fucking-shit.

Game of Thrones won a writing award while in the same category as Mad Men and The Americans?

JenniferLawrenceOkay.gif

ew are you serious? puke

Get back to writing the books George.

GoT won? What.

I'm out

Completely undeserved.

The Americans snubbed. One of the most jaw dropping episodes of TV ever.

The Game of Thrones people are used to being able to curse on TV, so that should probably be expected

I love GoT... But that award was a joke lol

"You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy."

The guy who wrote that line just won an Emmy for best writing.

We're lucky one of them didn't whip their dick out.

LOL
The one award it deserves the least, writing was much worse than the other nominees.

Game of Thrones beat Mad Men, The Americans, and Better Call Saul in writing? What?

I think the award should have gone to The Americans.

The writing on that show is on another level. Still don't understand why it doesn't get more respect in the tv circles.

Hahahahaa game of thrones over mad men writing

AND in the same season for that Sansa rape trash

Uzo deserved it.

 

[Herbs]

They split the vote by nominating two episodes. Nobody watches The Americans, and I imagine the voting base thought Breaking Bad had gotten enough praise.

They also opened the voting to a much larger pool. GoT is a cultural phenomenon. It's the biggest show out right now so it makes sense that those two things would build up enough momentum for the show to get more recognition beyond the technical awards it sweeps up.

 

[Fuzzy]

Emilia Clarke was nominated?! lol a piece of wood has more range than she does in that show.

Those horrible pics in that thread this week were better than her acting.

 

[Emarv]

I don't watch Orange is the New Black, but she seems super genuine and sweet.
