That might sound like off-putting with faint commend, but when you consider that the Emmys are pretty repeatedly the most uninteresting awards show of them all (yes, even more mind-numbing than the Oscars), it’s a real delicacy to be able to say, “Emmys, you were probably more interesting than the 2017 Tony Awards.”
The speeches were generally pretty fine, Stephen Colbert brought plenty of laughs as host, and the show only ran about three minutes over time — which is amazing considering how few awards had been handed out an hour in.
To be sure, there were some repeat winners who grated, and the absence of Emmy behemoth ‘Game of Thrones ‘probably made the drama winners unnaturally appealing. But records were broken, new benchmarks were set, and a torrent service won a major series prize for the first time ever.
