Yes, it’s awards season again. It’s time for a red carpet, and competing predictions, and laughter. We’ve made a tradition, at WVFC, of live-blogging the awards ceremonies as they happen, to cheer on our favorites and dish about absurdities.
Starting at 8 p.m. (EST) tonight, Sunday, September 22 on CBS, we’ll be watching and live-blogging the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
Many of our favorite women are nominated and many of the women we love will also be presenting statuettes to others, which gives us a chance to see them, whether or not they win.
Join us and cheer along. Meet us right here on our “Emmy Live Blog 2013” post, scroll down below, and comment. It’s that simple! (You will be asked to enter a name and email address only once.) We welcome your opinions—as short or long as you like. Comments will be screened before we post them, and our online chats are famously civil (if a little catty sometimes about fashion). Feel free to share links and photos—and Tweets @womensvoices, too! (Here’s how it went at this year’s Oscar night.)
You’ll leave a screening of "Plastic Planet" with a new understanding of the dilemma we face: plastic, the very substance that over the 20th century, significantly changed how we live, has taken us over.
oops, I missed the show. I was glad Claire Danes won…the opposite of glam, her role, but she throws herself at it, no holding back nor vanity. I’ve been on a very recent HOMELAND marathon. A weird thing to do, yes, but she deserves an award, mesmerizing. Sorry about Kerry.
Good night, y’all!
Are we there yet?
Not crazy about Claire Dane’s dress but I am crazy about Homeland! She is a wonderful actress.
Ellen Burstyn! Love her. SHE is “a woman over 65 with a lot of juice.”
Ellyn Burstyn – THAT was a WVFC moment, eh?
“A woman over 65 who still had a lot of juice.”
Ellen Burstyn looks GOOD!
From Women in Hollywood:”Best news of the night – Abi Morgan beats out David Mamet for best writing in a miniseries.”
You could tell that she was on the verge of real tears. She was brave.
The testimony to Gandolfini – so heartfelt, it actually kinda hurt.
Definitely the year of the blue dress!
Love the dancing! Travis Wall should have won though.
Did love the dance montage, though.
Love these dance sequences.
Note the SEVERE lack of women writers for ANY of these late-night shows. Even SNL has only two women on the writing staff????
But Bob Newhart – yay!
On your feet for Bob Newhart!
Claire Danes AGAIN – thus no Kerry Washington, damn.
Not sure about Clair Danes dress? Pretty from the waist down but needs a little more on the top!
Jimmy Fallon is my favorite! Love him! He makes funny sexy!
Both Daniels and Cannavale were surprises to critics, Maybe there will be more?
Jeff Daniels…glad he won. He’s so…watchable.
Love Julianna Margulies but a little concerned that she’s got midlife anorexia.
Julianna Margulies’ hair-do is really distracting for her.
Bobby Cannavale. Makes me wanna ROAR
Vulture also points out something important: There’s historical significance. Diahann Carroll, first African-American Emmy nominee, male or female, standing next to Kerry Washington, who’s up for Scandal. Nice polite reality check happening here.
Call me shallow but there are some beautiful gowns tonight. The women are spewing glamour so far….
Diahann and Kerry. Beauty AND talent
Oh I agree.
Chris, I suspect you’re right — but hope you’re wrong. Jon Hamm is like the Susan Lucci of prime time. This season (even more than others) I think he deserves it!
Though I think he was DARING them to vote for him with that Williamsburg beard….
I suspect a “Breaking Bad” sweep has begun. Sorry, Jon Hamm.
Good speech.
Love Anna Gunn’s dress. Pink silk and black lace is so beautiful!
It’s hard to beat “breaking Bad” right now, but I was rooting for Christina Hendricks.
And for The Big C, this was also a last chance – and Laura Linney deserves so much more.
I agree, Christie. Neil Patrick Harris is smart and talented and so eloquent when he speaks out about … well … everything.
