78th Primetime Emmy Awards ~ Wikipedia
I really enjoyed this year's Emmy, even if I don't watch most of the shows nominated. What I am familiar with other performers, who in all categories are exceptional. The Emmys delivered a historic, record-breaking night filled with deeply emotional tributes and unexpected sweeps.
Mariska Hargitay brought a wonderfully refreshing, joyful energy to her historic gig as the first solo female Emmy host in 15 years. Rather than trying to be a cynical stand-up comedian, she leaned into her genuine love for the medium, giving viewers an infectious, enthusiastic celebration of television.
Mariska changed wardrobe and wigs during the show wearing 10 distinct looks, turning the ceremony into an ultimate fashion marathon. She kicked off the night on the red carpet in a plunging, red-hot Monse sequined gown - paying a special tribute to her mother, Jayne Mansfield.
She kicked off the night with an energetic, pre-recorded musical montage set to the tune of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," cleverly renamed "I Love TV Screens." The bit had her flying from New York to Los Angeles and featured a fun lineup of celebrity cameos, including NBA star Jalen Brunson, Guy Fieri, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jean Smart.
She showed off a fantastic sense of humor, largely by poking fun at her own legendary, 28-season tenure on Law & Order: SVU. She earned huge laughs by explaining how hard it was to read the teleprompter for the shows ending their runs, deadpanning, "I've never had to pronounce the word 'finale' before. I'm sorry guys, it's just that I've never had one."
During her live monologue, she began reciting Nicole Kidman's famous, earnest AMC Theatres speech. Kidman jokingly stood up in the audience to protest ("That's my bit!"), leading Hargitay to hilariously shoot back, "Zip it, movie lady!"
Mariska leaned into pop culture with a pre-taped SVU-style sketch alongside her close friend Taylor Swift (and Swift's cat, Olivia Benson, who was famously named after Hargitay's character).
At the same time, Taylor was seen at the Chief's NFL opening game cheering on her husband, Travis Kelce as Kansas City defeated the Denver Broncos 31-10 ... looking like the team of days gone by when Kansas City was unstoppable.
Jean Smart's win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series was one of the most historic and emotional milestones of the night.
By winning for the final season of Hacks, she became the first female performer in television history to sweep every single season of a series, winning the lead comedy actress trophy for all five seasons of the show.Her acceptance speech was the perfect mix of humor and deep gratitude.
She drew huge laughs from the crowd right away by walking up to the microphone and joking about the show's finality, saying, "Thank you so much. I have to say, I'm glad this is over because my heels are killing me."
Turning serious, she gave a deeply moving tribute to the show's creators and her co-stars, expressing how rare and beautiful it was to find a role that challenged and fulfilled her so late in her career. The entire room gave her a massive, extended standing ovation, cementing her status as an absolute Hollywood legend.
Allison Janney won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in The Diplomat, another favorite actress in a TV series I love.
Stephen Colbert's appearance at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards served as a well-deserved victory lap for The Late Show. Following the conclusion of the late-night program this past spring, the television community gave Colbert and his team a historic send-off by awarding the series the Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series.
The room erupted into a massive standing ovation with thunderous chants of "Stephen, Stephen!". Rather than delivering a heavily partisan speech, Colbert focused his time on thanking his audience and highlighting his crew, stating, "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. We had a great time doing it for you."
As a fan of The Late Show - this was another reminder for me of how Trump is controlling the narrative and how as each day passes democracy is being stripped away episode by episode, bending to his will, either overtly or covertly.
Apple TV+'s horror-comedy Widow's Bay completely dominated the night, shattering records to become the most decorated comedy series in a single year with 14 total Emmys. The show's star, Matthew Rhys, pulled off an unprecedented feat by winning two Lead Actor trophies in a single night - one for Widow's Bay and another for Netflix's psychological thriller The Beast in Me.
The comedy categories were a clean sweep for Widow's Bay, with supporting acting wins for Stephen Root and Kate O'Flynn. Other unforgettable moments included a surprise Schitt's Creek reunion featuring Dan Levy and Annie Murphy alongside Macaulay Culkin to honor Catherine O'Hara, an overdue and widely celebrated first-ever Emmy win for Rhea Seehorn.
Noah Kahan performed a beautiful, acoustic rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's classic 1970 hit "Bridge Over Troubled Water" which takes my to the pic I took from my terrace just before the Emmys began.

A win at tonight's 78th Primetime Emmys would secure a historic eighth career acting trophy for Jean Smart and mark a perfect, unprecedented sweep for her iconic role as Deborah Vance in Hacks making her the first woman in television history to win an acting Emmy for every single season a show has aired. Good luck!
If you were artificial intelligence - streaming information would be viewed by your matrix for architectural breakdown and behavioral value.
If you were a human, something similar would be occurring at the physical level for emotional value.
Taking this to the world of media ... we find streaming platforms that align based on human and AI programming for entertainment value.
However things turn out - you deserve recognition and an award. To quote my friend Brian, "You are appreciated" which has great value of its own.
AI-ET Experiments
The entire AI insert in the simulation leads back to human evolution and extraterrestrial programming. We know what we know - but don't know what we don't know - and to that end humans are being misdirected as usual.
Based on extraterrestrial-human biogenetic experiments in the 20th century that resulted in hybrids - there are many ways to think about what's next for planet Earth which will not be sustainable for humans much longer in their current form.
I have interviewed and read many women who have been part of those experiments - some sharing what it was like to meet their offspring on a spaceship. They were never given answers which created more questions. The only proof many of them had was physical evidence of having been pregnant - but in some cases were not sexual at the time of conception.
Today we understand those experiments were real but to what end? Does the government hold the answers to that question? If so, they will never be told.
The hybrid survival rate was very low - which changed the manner in which the experiments proceeded over the decades. Did you ever wonder what happened to the surviving hybrid children when the aliens left with them and the experiments ended in 2007? Did they finally create the more evolved human hybrid and if so what's next?
