Awards shows can be an entertaining evening with fan favorites or a cringe fest of weird banter and unfunny jokes. Honestly, there’s no in between. On Monday, the 75th Primetime Emmys served as a celebration of televisions history with cast reunions and legends receiving their well-deserved flowers. Host Anthony Anderson made the show fun, but all the jokes weren’t winners. To that end, check out the best and worst moments of the 2023 Primetime Emmys.
Not every bit is gonna work. Unfortunately, this one between the former co-stars went on too long and wasn’t even funny.
We loved “BEEF.” It was so engrossing to watch. However, its awards domination means “Swarm” and Dominique Fishback’s brilliant performance hasn’t gotten the recognition it so richly deserves. It’s addictive and unpredictable. If you haven’t seen it, stop what you’re doing, head to Prime Video and start binging. You can thank us later.
From “Cheers” to “Grey’s Anatomy” to “Ally McBeal” to “All in the Family” to “Martin” to “SNL” there was a fun TV throwback for everyone.
The whole bit of Anderson being in the latex suit from “American Horror Story” was too much and unnecessary.
On paper, the idea of Tracee Ellis Ross and Natasha Lyonne celebrating one of the greatest episodes of “I Love Lucy” sounds perfect. Unfortunately, the execution went a little too off the rails and the audience didn’t seem as into it as the producers would’ve hoped
It was beautiful to see the show take a moment and recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic speech. Though it would’ve been more impactful if it was shown at the beginning of the three-hour broadcast.
