Emmys 2016 - This is what went down!




Although I have flooded my Facebook Page, Twitter and Instagram accounts with all the glitz and glam of 2016 Emmy Awards but a blogger's gotta do, what a blogger's gotta do right!

"Here in Hollywood the only thing we value more than diversity is congratulating ourselves on how much we value diversity" - (a line from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue)

Starting from the top! Mr. Jimmy Kimmel was without a doubt on top of his game for this year's Emmy Awards. His effortless and relaxed demeanor has always been his forte when it comes to his performances, be it as a talk show host, or a host for Emmy's. It will obviously be unfair to just call his performance outstanding but some people are so captivating, you just find it difficult to find appropriate words. From his comic timings to unscripted surprise elements at the show, everything left the audience in fits of laughter.

And boy did I mention his swag? He looked impeccably handsome in those pair of polished and trimmed tuxedos. An amazing combination of personality, persona and performance!

Moving on to the award ceremony itself, "Game of Thrones" broke all records by winning the highest number of Emmy's for a Fictional Series - 38 to be precise!

Other than Game of Thrones, other series in various different categories to win were Veep (Comedy Series), The People v OJ Simpson (Limited Series) & Sherlock - The Abominable Bride (Television Movie).

Amongst the celebrities were Rami Malek (Mr. Robot), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep), Courtney B Vance & Sarah Paulson (The People o VJ Simpson), Louie Anderson (Baskets), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline) and Dame Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey). Well Mr. Kimmel had something to add to this "We are not mailing this to her. Maggie if you want this, it will be in the lost and found".

And wait I'm not done yet! Sterling K Brown (The People v OJ Simpson), Regina King (American Crime), Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (Outstanding Television Movie), The Voice (Outstanding reality Competition Series) and last but not the least, as I'm hoping if not missed out on anyone, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (Outstanding Variety Talk Series).

Now that we are done with the serious business lets sit back and droll over at the amazing fashion and style, displayed at the Emmy's Red Carpet this year.

The men totally slayed it at the fashion game! From Alex MacNicoll to Tom Hiddleston in his Gucci. From Trevor Jackson to Tom Cullen - the masculine Glam was on point!

Ageing like fine wine were some men, giving absolute competition to the younger squad. Ty Burrell in his super chic Montblanc and Christian Slater in his polished Dior Homme Tux.

P.S: Don't forget to notice how their women beautifully enhance their charm and mien.

My most favorite lovebirds on the red carpet were Felicity Huffman, the American Crime Star with her Fargo husband Mr. William H. Macy. Totally love her look in that floor skimming dress with a layered tulle skirt and the PDA going on there. No matter what you all think, but for me she'll always be Desperate Housewives Lynette Scavo (they need to come back with a new season - urghh).

The real stars of the evening were these curious little angels from the series Stranger Things. Millie Bobby Brown looked absolutely adorable in a Valentino Gown while having loads and loads of fun with her co stars Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb MacLaghlin.

It is almost impossible to pick one best favorite but if I may shortlist, these were the ladies ruling the Red Carpet at this years Emmy Awards with their looks and glamour.

My Top Favorite was Kristen Bell in a romantic chic attire by Zuhair Murad.

Of course our 'Exotic' Desi Girl, Priyanka Chopra wasn't any less on leaving an impression in a Jason Wu Aurora Red Gown.

The night was an amalgamation of some beautiful and heartfelt moments of which was when Jeffery Tambor's plead: "I'm not going to say this beautifully - shush, shush. To you people out there, you producers, you network owners, you agents and you creative sparks, please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions. Give them their story".

Of course not to forget Amy Schumer's in her stunning Vivienne Westwood Gown, breaking taboos with her shout out to fellow companions "Vivienne Westwood, Tom Ford shoes and an OB Tampon".

Amy Schmer
The after party was as fun and glam and expected and celebrities like Sarah Hyland, were making the perfect and quick look changes for the late night celebration. From a Monique Lhuillier - Form Fitted Strapless, Embroidered Floral Print Top & Black Pants, she transformed into a party owl in a little Black Slip Dress with matching heels.

And Mr. Kimmel's very interesting and on point question, which I'll leave you all to think over: "If it wasn't for television, would Donald Trump be running for president? Thanks to Mark Burnett, we don't have to watch reality shows anymore, because we live in one"!

With this genuine concern to think over, I will high kick my way out like Jessie Graff.

Hope you all enjoyed the 68th Emmy Awards as much as I did.
