5:35 p.m. Tillman’s win additionally shortly dispels fears of an #EmmysSoWhite shutout of actors of coloration, however it’s value acknowledging that Bargatze’s opening joke about CBS being the Caucasian Broadcasting System is regrettably mirrored by a notable lack of range amongst this yr’s nominees. — M.M.
The most effective line in that opening sketch was Bowen Yang asking about an Asian tv community after they have been working down how there was a channel for everybody. And Bargatze shortly modified the topic to streaming. — G.W.
5:32 p.m. “Severance’s” Tramell Tillman wins for supporting actor in a drama. And does what each award winner ought to do — thank his mom. (If you’re thanking your mom, the time doesn’t rely.) — M.M.
And there goes “The White Lotus’” final remaining Emmy likelihood. Tillman was so robust on the second season of “Severance,” revealing Mr. Milchick’s vulnerabilities and inner conflicts. Glad he gained. Strike up the band! —G.W.
5:29 p.m. Ha! I do assume we have to have a dialog about how a lot time is being spent telling folks to maintain their acceptance speeches quick. An excessive amount of time I concern. Somebody like LaNasa shouldn’t be shamed! I imply it’s an awards present. Give them a full minute. —M.M.
5:26 p.m. Katherine LaNasa wins supporting actress in a drama for “The Pitt”! Breaking by way of “The White Lotus” crowd within the class. Is that this going to be a “Pitt” sweep? — M.M.
Maaaaybe? I simply know you’re thrilled Mary for the potential for a “White Lotus” shutout. I puzzled if Carrie Coon and Parker Posey would cut up the vote, giving LaNasa a much-deserved trophy. — G.W.
5:22 p.m. Good is half-way to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ six consecutive Emmys for “Veep.” — M.M.
Greater than half! That’s 4 straight for “Hacks.” She has gained for each season of the present. — G.W.
5:20 p.m. Even Jean Good is like, “Sufficient, already.” — G.W.
Jean Good was actually within the wings — that’s how certain they have been she was going to win feminine lead in comedy. (In fact she broke her knee, so “simply in case” they spared her the stroll.) —M.M.
5:18 p.m. Did Jennifer Coolidge simply make first colonoscopy joke in historical past of Emmys? — M.M.
Good factor Jennifer Coolidge isn’t successful this yr. The charity fund could be within the purple. —G.W.
5:13 p.m. I’m a Bargatze agnostic. But when this plan works and retains speeches quick, he’ll go down in historical past. Possibly not like George Washington, however nonetheless … — G.W.
The half the place Bargatze has to pay extra if the speech goes below. I can’t wait til Harrison Ford simply waves. We actually could possibly be out of right here in an hour. — M.M.
Nominees simply took on the market speeches, giving them a re-examination. Nobody needs to remove cash from the Boys & Ladies Golf equipment! — G.W.

5:08 p.m. And right here’s Colbert! Life is nice. “Whereas I’ve your consideration, is anybody hiring?” He presents Seth Rogen of “The Studio” with the award for lead actor in a comedy. With “The Studio” vs. “Hacks,” it’s an enormous evening for fictional Hollywood. —M.M.
Nice planning on the a part of the producers. Begin the showcase with Rogen successful an Emmy … you already know he’s going to be enjoyable … and he was, even when he didn’t know what to say. — G.W.
5:04 p.m. And it’s a skit! Echoing his “SNL” efficiency as George Washington, Bargatze is Philo T. Farnsworth, who’s in reality often known as the “father of tv.” — M.M.
Love Bargatze leaning into that Washington sketch. Nonetheless can’t let go of “The Bear” being categorised as a comedy. It’s complicated! — G.W.
“We create a world by which a girl hosts a late evening speak present. Not in actual life. however on a present referred to as ‘Hacks.’” — M.M.

4:53 p.m. What have you ever been doing to prep for this night, Glenn? I made chili and despatched my husband on a Dealer Joe’s run as a result of guac and chips are required. — M.M.
Can I come over to your home, Mary? I want snacks. I simply flew in from Washington the place my niece, Meghan, tied the knot with the pleasant Tommy. All I’ve in my abdomen is the rum and coke my neighbor handed me after I acquired dwelling. — G.W.
Oooo. This needs to be enjoyable. The rum-and-coke Glenn is one of the best Glenn. Additionally, the place do you reside that neighbors simply hand you rum and cokes whenever you arrive from the airport? — M.M.
Sadly, not Jamaica … although I’m making {that a} aim needs to be doing this subsequent yr. — G.W.
4:49 p.m. Do you actually assume “The Pitt” goes to win greatest drama? Over “Severance”? I really feel like that class has the chance to shock, however I bow to your odds-making observe file. — M.M.
I picked “Severance,” Mary. It obtained 27 nominations to 13 for “The Pitt.” However upsets are sometimes rooted in feelings. And no collection provoked extra of an emotional response this yr. So I’d be completely satisfied to be fallacious and have “The Pitt” prevail. — G.W.
So you might be basically betting every method. I confess I’m anxious to see if the not too long ago canceled “The Late Present With Stephen Colbert” wins and what Colbert must say if it does. — M.M.
Haha … no … I picked “Severance.” However “The Pitt” successful wouldn’t be surprising. And I’d be there for it. — G.W.
4:45 p.m. Hi there, Mary! Right here we’re once more, one other Emmys, one other alternative so that you can lament that “Sluggish Horses” isn’t going to win greatest drama collection. No less than “Sluggish Horses” has gained an Emmy (writing), one thing the late, nice “Higher Name Saul” by no means managed to do from 53 (!) nominations.
However that’s the previous and we’re not right here to relitigate. Let’s deal with the right here and now. Did “The Pitt” wring sufficient tears to take the drama collection Emmy? Is there something left for Jean Good to say aside from “thanks” when she wins a fourth Emmy for “Hacks”? Will the historically taciturn Harrison Ford say something aside from “thanks” if he wins his first Emmy for “Shrinking”?
What questions are you mulling over as we await the ceremony to start, my pal? — G.W.
“How’s Nate Bargatze going to do?” is the preliminary query. As I famous in an earlier column, his non-Hollywood, down-home, every-guy persona makes him fairly a departure from previous Emmy hosts. He’s additionally rigorously non-political, and has stated he is not going to be mentioning the current killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Given the maelstrom of political vitriol over reactions (and non-reactions) to the tragedy, I don’t envy him strolling into this second, but when anybody can promote the necessity for, and significance of, non-politically charged leisure, it’s Bargatze.
Aside from that, I’m nonetheless holding out hope for Gary Oldman and “Sluggish Horses” to prevail (simply as my daughters are rooting for Pedro Pascal and “The Final of Us”) and really a lot trying ahead to seeing Kathy Bates win — I really like “Matlock” and never simply because it serves as a welcome reminder that older ladies deserve the identical form of roles that older males have lengthy loved. — M.M.
