67th Annual Emmy Awards Predictably Uses GOP Candidates for their Comedy Material
Tonight’s 67th Annual Emmy Awards did not disappoint when it came to insults thrown at GOP Presidential Candidates.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus made Donald Trump the focus of her acceptance award for Lead Actress in Comedy for her show “VEEP.”
“Thank you very much to, of course, the academy. I think it would be appropriate at this moment to -- to quote our political satire, "Veep." "What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight."
[ Laughter ] Oh, wait, oh, god, oh, no, no, I'm so sorry. Donald Trump said that. I'm sorry.”
Then, presenters for the Reality-Competition Award could not resist a jab at the GOP Presidential Debates:
“>> There is one category of television that allows us as a society to sit back and enjoy the simple spectacle of "Reality."
>> A strange reality where people can't seem to say two words without throwing each other "Under the bus."
>> A reality where a panel of millionaires fight like sharks to be chosen by average middle-class Americans.
>> And a reality where nobody is there "For the right reasons.">> But enough about the Republican National Debate.
Well, I guess when you’re popular, they are going to ride your coattails…
I will leave you with Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ face, which changes from gleeful and happy at the win for Writing for a Comedy Series on her show “VEEP,” to confused and incredulous when one of her winning writers says this:
“America has been so welcoming to a lot of Brits on this show, British writers and directors, editors, musicians. Thank you so much.”
