Did anyone happen to catch the Emmy’s Sunday night? One of my absolute favorite pastimes is watching both the red carpet and awards shows – I find them so entertaining! But watching on a Sunday evening can be tough with Monday morning and a week’s worth of school and work on the horizon. So a recap is where it’s at!
If you happened to miss Sunday night’s show, it was a good one. And, according to TVLine: “The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out on Sunday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and HBO’s Game of Thrones picked up three more wins, including for best drama, bringing its total haul for the year to 12.” Pretty amazing, right?
