Okay, so now we're joined by another one of our friends,
the host of People Now, Jeremy Parsons is back.
Great to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Jess, you wanna get the ball going?
So, first of I wanna know the buzz of this year's Emmy.
What are people gonna be talking about at this year's Emmy?
One of the biggest things
is that Netflix has 112 nominations.
They have broken HBO's 17 year streak.
You have to remember, the streaming services,
that's where it's at these days, obviously.
This is exactly what I'm saying,
that's why Netflix and these streaming services
are so amazing.
And they have these huge shows,
the Crown, Stranger Things, Ozark,
which I actually love, it has done so well,
Queer Eye as well.
All these great shows.
So they are dominating and doing a really good job.
Also, when it comes to some of the actors,
Donald Glover is someone that is a highlight, a stand out.
Donald Glover is having the most amazing year.
He is at least a triple threat.
TV, music, movies,
of course Atlanta, the show that he's behind.
16 nominations, no big deal.
Incredible to watch that show.
He also hosted SNL and got nominated for that.
By the way, he was in the most recent Star Wars movie.
He's just on fire.
Then with the music, he's got the Grammy's.
He's got the most recent VMAs win.
And he's going head to head
with Bill Hader in five different categories,
which is kinda funny.
So, you know, they've just matched up down the line here.
Bill Hader getting a lot of love for Barry
and his role in that.
So we'll watch and see what happens.
Clash of the titans.
Clash of the titans here for sure.
Another one to watch,
Sandra Oh has a great storyline for this Emmy.
Sandra Oh is nominated in the leading actress
in her drama category.
First Asian actress to be nominated in that category.
So a very big deal for her, yeah.
She's no stranger to Emmys.
She's been nominated five times before
in supporting roles for Grey's Anatomy and all of that.
So she's getting a lot of love here.
And if we go a little broader
Crazy Rich Asians, the movie,
is breaking box office records.
In film and TV, this is a really great moment
for representation for Asian actors and actresses.
We'll keep an eye on that.
See what happens with Sandra Oh.
Now, moving on, we've got some
actual category predictions now.
Well, what we thought would be fun
is to involve our in-studio audience
and see what their picks were.
So we're gonna take a look at two categories,
Best drama and best comedy?
Best drama and best comedy.
Alright, let's pop up the cheat sheet.
So here we go, I'll say drama series nominees,
Handmaid's Tale, Game of Thrones, This is Us,
the Crown, the Americans, Stranger Things, Westworld.
That's a tough category.
That's a super tough category.
Where do you fall in here?
I don't know, what's your pick?
I mean, you're the pro at this.
I'm gonna go for the Crown.
I'm a huge Crown fan.
Alright.
The Crown is excellent.
There's so many good shows though.
I feel like Game of Thrones has already won too many.
Okay, but here's the thing, my pick
Listen to them, no!
My pick for this prediction is Game of Thrones.
Here's why,
that excited some Game of Thrones fans.
It's wrapping up.
The whole series is coming to an end.
It was totally out of the Emmys last year
because the timing of the season wasn't right.
22 nominations, it leads in nominations for a show.
Then I think you're right.
It'll probably have to be the favorite then
if it's the last year.
There's a lot of love for Game of Thrones, yeah.
Shall we see what the audience picked?
Let's do it.
There we go.
This is Us!
Game of Thrones wasn't even in the game up.
By a landslide.
Game of Thrones did come in second,
and look, I have a lot of love for This is Us too.
I'm just telling you who will win.
Whatever.
By a landslide.
That's not even close.
Game of Thrones has no game on in that game.
Not on this ballot anyway.
Right.
Okay, so nominees for outstanding comedies next.
So lets see the nominees.
Another competitive field.
Atlanta, Barry, Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm,
the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Glow,
Silicon Valley, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Where do you guys land in here?
Wow, it's tough.
I love Barry, though.
It was so original and weird.
One Barry fan right there.
So, my prediction here is the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
What would you do, Jess?
I like Black-ish.
Black-ish?
Yeah, I think Black-ish is the way.
There's no bad shows there.
But Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was a real break-out hit.
Rachel Brosnahan won a Globe, a Critics Choice award.
She's just really on fire with this show.
I think 14 nominations for the show overall.
So Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is my pick.
I would suspect the audience
didn't go with me on this one either.
(laughing)
You're just the expert.
They're the boss of that.
Let's see what the audience voted for.
Black-ish.
You know it.
Great show too.
Its a competitive, we'll see what happens.
We have a really smart audience,
a very smart audience here with us today.
So where are you gonna be and where can people catch you?
Yes, I am gonna be actually
doing the Emmys preshow tonight, 6pm.
You can stream it, go to PeopleTV.com
and People's twitter handle and all of that.
Its gonna be a lot of fun.
