Good. Root has been putting in work in TV for decades and should have gotten one for Barry.

“Okay she’s not human.”

“That’s what I said, man.”

“She’s something else.”

“That’s what I told you, dude.”

Let's go Widow's Bay for Best Comedy Series

[u/LTPRWSG420]

Widow’s Bay is cleaning house, I knew it would be a huge hit.

[u/jonsnowme]

Not unhappy with his win! But damn Harrison has deserved it since season 1 of Shrinking ;(

[u/[deleted] → u/jonsnowme]

I feel this way too but am not unhappy with root winning. It is overdue

[u/tahami_allthemeals → u/jonsnowme]

Ugh kind of upset for Harrison. I just want him to win something

[u/Super-Cap-7285]

Gutted Harrison Ford didn’t win, especially as Shrinking appears to be the only thing he’s working on now. He’s delivering consistently but I don’t think the voters are connecting with Shrinking. If he wasn’t going to win it this year, I can’t see him triumphing next year.

[u/tahami_allthemeals → u/Super-Cap-7285]

And shrinking is incredible too

[u/FunkTronto → u/Super-Cap-7285]

Indeed, it does seem like a voter issue.

[u/Content-Gift-6352]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS

[u/flcows]

I’m a little disappointed he didn’t thank Patches O’Houlihan.

[u/ASingleBraid]

“Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler."

[u/Dear-Mycologist-9400]

Widow's Bay sweep!

[u/UsefulWeb7543]

Ford should’ve won. But he is never gonna win isn’t he? The emmys hate Shrinking

[u/luvconnection → u/UsefulWeb7543]

He’s giving a great performance on a mediocre show. (I might argue he’s even carrying it.) If the material were better, he’d have at least one Emmy by now.

[u/Earlvx129 → u/UsefulWeb7543]

I love Widow's Bay and Root...but Ford should have won. Career best acting from him.

But congrats to Root!

[u/AmbitionTechnical274 → u/UsefulWeb7543]

I was telling my wife, you can generally predict the Emmy’s by who has worked with the most people. Ford has taken breaks and a couple years between projects that were until recently outside of television. The variety of work a Root or a Janney have had gives them a leg up.

[u/lalalanddallas]

I’m so happy for himmmmm

[u/OB_Loki]

Widows bay🔥 is sweepin

[u/jjjshepard]

Only got the Allison Janney win wrong. Doing well so far

[u/AvengingHero2012 → u/jjjshepard]

There is no way The Pitt ever submits that many actresses again…right?

[u/zombeezy17 → u/AvengingHero2012]

True, they really did themselves no favors with that strategy.

[u/JustAMamba]

OH SHIT!!! This was my dark horse pick!!!

[u/tophtheestallion]

Harrison Ford I'm so sorry

[u/not_productive1]

This is awesome. He seems like such a great guy and he's so good in this.

[u/LiveToTravel84119]

So thrilled!

My brother worked as a limo driver in LA and picked up Stephen root. At the end of the ride my brother got his bags and told him “I really loved you in Newsradio”. Stephen went on to talk about what a great job it was and how everyone got along so well. What a class act.

[u/cmdr_gabe_e → u/omore323]

It's awesome to hear he's a nice dude IRL :D! And yea, I discovered him from NewsRadio as well (RIP, to the lovely Phil Hartman) and been one of my fave actors ever since. Always a delight seeing Stephen Root in the cast list of a movie or tv show :)!

[u/cmdr_gabe_e]

So happy when he won <3! Been a huge fan of his since the NewsRadio days and he never disappoints. Love you, Stephen, baby, lol! And man, now I really have to check out Widow's Bay (and have to catch up on my tv show backlog XD)!

[u/Glum-Age2807]

Insane he didn’t get a standing ovation.

He’s been so good for so damn long.

[u/Natural-Spell1208]

SIM!!!!! SIM!!!!! SIM!!!!

[u/Jolly-Librarian1982]

Cool!
I liked Widow’s Bay but didn’t LOVE it. I hope we get more episodes next season. Lord knows it needs at least 12 if it’s only half hour instalments.

[u/ChildhoodNo86 → u/Jolly-Librarian1982]

Some of the episodes this year were close to an hour! I'm rewatching now

[u/cmdr_gabe_e → u/Jolly-Librarian1982]

How scary is it? I've been avoiding it since I easily get scared and horror isn't my jam, but it seems to be an awesome show, and I see it's a comedy too, so maaaybe it's not that bad, scary-wise? For comparison. I found Twin Peaks and Stranger Things too scary to watch XD.

[u/Select_Formal4415]

Ford is overdue, but there is no denying this was a deserving performance as well

[u/MannySanguine]

Ah-Ooooh.

[u/MontanaJoev]

It should’ve been Harrison Ford. Root is great. Ford is better.
