What to Know

Critics Consensus

Try as they might, the 73rd Emmys simply couldn't find their footing in a flat, strangely directed ceremony that let everyone involved down.

Alison Herman The Ringer They did try, as best as they could, to give us some of what makeshift pandemic shows could not. Even as they take a big step toward the future, the Emmys are trying to return to the recent past. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe The in-personness of the night felt like a gift... It nonetheless felt like a true gathering, and in some ways the intimacy was preferable to a full theater. So there was that. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Shirley Li The Atlantic For all of the Emmys' efforts to attract eyeballs, the show still kept the audience at a remove. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Ani Bundel NBC News THINK The show may have announced that, after last year's Zoom session, the Emmys are "back, baby." But the ratings will probably demonstrate that the audience didn't rejoin them, for good reason. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Megan Reynolds Jezebel Frankly, it is exhausting to continue to think about the lack of diversity in the winners of awards season, because it's exhausting to be disappointed year after year. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Jeva Lange The Week No comedy would have been better than comedy this bad. Amy Poehler was all of us when she quipped toward the end of the three-hour slog, "What time is it, and how do we get out of here?" Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
