One of the minor knock-on effects of the insane state of our current politics is that it has imbued award shows with the promise of chaos. Any awards show could get crazy—relatively speaking. How will a staid institution that has historically celebrated the status quo address change? Who will talk politics? Who will just thank their agent? Who will thank their agent and talk politics? The 70th Emmy Awards, as hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che and Colin Jost, took these crazy times and turned them into something humdrum, helped by a set of winners who proposed, thanked their horses, and encouraged women to sit in public bathrooms, but largely avoided politics. Sometimes firecrackers just go pffft.
