Although, frankly, any of us could be fortunate to be mistaken for her royal highness, Angela Lansbury. —MB
6:04 p.m. Laziest cases of Emmy voting: “Saturday Evening Dwell” successful selection sketch collection and “Final Week Tonight With John Oliver” taking selection discuss collection. 12 months after 12 months … irrespective of the competitors or, within the case of “SNL,” the (lack of) high quality. —GW

5:55 p.m. Sheryl Lee Ralph was in shock. I used to be too; I needed to put my cellphone down to completely take that in. Everybody stood up, even from up within the mezzanine.

5:44 p.m. Presenting the Emmy for supporting actress in a comedy, Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler do a bit that jogs my memory of one of many advantages of getting this awards present on NBC: a number of humorous “SNL” stars will present up and do their darndest to make the onstage banter work — and typically succeed. —MB
5:40 p.m. I get wanting to offer Julia Garner a correct sendoff for “Ozark.” However … that’s her third Emmy! And although I don’t wish to go on one other complain about “Higher Name Saul” and its perennial Emmy shutout and I do know I must be grateful that Emmy voters lastly nominated Rhea Seehorn in any case these years, let me unleash one other 1,000 phrases on why Seehorn … no … no … it is a stay weblog. Not the place. —GW
5:34 p.m. It feels oddly acceptable that Matthew Macfadyen received performed off the stage throughout his well-deserved second of glory. How very Wambsgansian. —MB
5:33 p.m. YES! Matthew Macfadyen! Most thought his “Succession” co-star Kieran Culkin would win for supporting actor drama. However Macfadyen had the juiciest storyline. Betrayal! Undecided why they performed him off after 15 seconds once they let Michael Keaton discuss for half an hour. No matter. Nice win. —GW
5:32 p.m. If there’s a theme I’m selecting up from Kenan thus far, it’s the battle of the streaming providers. Going from his quip to NBC being the earlier house of “The Workplace” to “Yellowjackets” being tough to observe as a result of it’s on Showtime, he’s actually related to everybody’s every day battle to observe one thing good. As for me, I’ve made a pact with my buddies and we every share a little bit of what we have now to increase the catalog. Extremely advocate. —SV
5:29 p.m. Kenan Thompson jokes about this 12 months’s crop of reveals about loathsome, wealthy white folks, joking that “Succession” is the one present that has “three brothers, however no brothers.” Jeremy Sturdy didn't look amused, however then does he ever? —MB
5:27 p.m. Hannah Einbinder being shy round Zendaya is so relatable. And the reduce to Zendaya’s chuckle was all the pieces. As for the restricted/film supporting actor winner, Murray Bartlett, so deserved. And the Zendaya fan membership continues with Kenan wishing her a belated birthday. Who else wish to be part of? —SV
5:20 p.m. Murray Bartlett wins for taking part in the world’s most stressed-out lodge supervisor in “The White Lotus,” a person who defiled the Pineapple Suite and received our hearts within the course of. Bartlett prompts a collective “awwwwww” by thanking his mother in Australia. —MB
5:19 p.m. Michael Keaton had loads to say! However we didn’t hear his message to his true believers. LET MICHAEL KEATON SWEAR! —GW
5:15 p.m. Michael Keaton basically performed three characters in “Dopesick” — the sort, first rate physician who will get duped by Huge Pharma, then a determined, hopeless, damaged addict and, lastly, a person in restoration attempting to do some good for others. Hard-earned win. —GW
Oprah calls TV “probably the most profitable broadcast medium on the earth.” Take that, radio! —MB
5:13 p.m. Love an excellent prime hat second for Kenan. From a dancer’s perspective, this TV historical past medley is pulling all of the stops. From jazz to interrupt dancing to hints of litefeet. And Kenan confirmed he is aware of the right way to bust a transfer, too. Throughout that “Recreation of Thrones” part, all I may take into consideration was that meme from “Camp Rock” the place Demi Lovato leads the troop to the opposing camp. —SV
5:10 p.m. 300 million to at least one to win an Emmy, Oprah says. Guess that’ll present some solace to the “Higher Name Saul” gang. —GW
5:08 p.m. Bravo to Kenan Thompson for paying tribute to TV’s most memorable theme songs, a fantastic concept that I’m shocked hadn’t but been achieved on the Emmys. Love the combination of nostalgia for “Brady Bunch” (with appearances by the unique forged!), with nods to present reveals like “Stranger Issues.” I do want we received some “Succession” and “White Lotus” in there too, as a result of we’ve all positively been dancing to these intros in our respective residing rooms each week. Must say, that “Recreation of Thrones” remix slaps. —AL
5:00 p.m. I missed a lot of the pink carpet, however I do have an vital replace: My 4-year-old loves Zendaya’s costume — actually the one verdict that issues. —MB
4:57 p.m. For these watching at house questioning in case your favourite celebrities are getting their drinks on the tall bar arrange, stage left … “It’s faux,” says comic and Emmys author Chris Spencer. —SV
4:48 p.m. Good day from the within! If the nominees survived the warmth outdoors, they’re in for a deal with in right here the place the AC is BLASTING. Hopefully the camera-ready appears to be like survived. We’re preparing for the ceremony to get rolling and I’m already amazed by the setup they've this 12 months: greenery hanging from the ceiling, sprinkled with fairy lights, and a Los Angeles skyline replicated behind window panels. The stage, nevertheless, appears a bit small. Hope they don’t have an enormous efficiency lined up… —Steven Vargas
4:35 p.m. Whilst you all are having fun with the present from the consolation of your properties, I’m reporting from the Emmys press room, which is definitely a tent above a parking storage outdoors the Microsoft Theater. If any winners seem significantly weathered after giving acceptance speeches, speaking to the media and returning to their seats, it’s as a result of the air con right here appears to be aggressively testing the sturdiness of everybody’s hair and make-up. Mine has already failed, however the considered the “Abbott Elementary” people probably taking house trophies is preserving my spirits excessive. —Ashley Lee
4:20 p.m. It’s the 2022 Emmys! I've the TV on within the background and I simply heard somebody say the pink carpet was on fireplace and, given the unending warmth dome that has enveloped Southern California, I needed to marvel in the event that they meant this actually. It’s sizzling on the market! Nevertheless it’s cool right here in my front room the place I’ll be watching the Emmys and speaking with Instances TV author Meredith Blake and preserving vigil for “Higher Name Saul.” Will this be the 12 months it lastly wins an Emmy? In all probability not, sadly. I could must content material myself with one other Jean Sensible win for “Hacks” and basking in “The Bear” reunion of stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri once they current later this night. What are you trying ahead to, Meredith? —Glenn Whipp
Greetings from the opposite facet of the nation the place I, too, am sitting on my sofa, sporting my most interesting sweatpants to have fun the largest night time in TV this 12 months (outdoors of subsequent Friday, when “The Nice British Baking Present” returns to Netflix). Whereas I definitely wouldn’t be unhappy to see “Higher Name Saul” take house a number of well-deserved prizes, I'm right here as a “White Lotus” stan and am trying ahead to watching Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett (in all probability) win. Talking of horrible wealthy folks, I additionally really feel unhealthily invested in an Emmy for Tom Wambsgans, a.okay.a. Matthew Macfadyen. And in my fantasy state of affairs, Steve Martin and Martin Brief would win in a uncommon Emmys tie and provides a shared acceptance speech for the ages. However, you understand, it’s the Emmys. So I'll mood my expectations. —Meredith Blake
