6 Secret Emmys Moments the Cameras Didn't Show You Last Night

As you’ve probably heard, the Emmy Awards were last night! And while the broadcast was three hours long, it somehow still didn’t include every juicy moment, skipping over celebrity run-ins in the aisles and the soothing disembodied auditorium voice asking everyone to “pretty please” sit TF down so the broadcast could start. But that wasn’t even the exciting part.

After getting a peek inside the Emmys thanks to Sterling Vineyards, I present to you, six Emmys moments you missed even if you watched the show like a hawk.

1. Stephen Colbert and John Olivers’ staffs were basically at war.

By “at war,” I mean they were hardcore going up against each other to see who could clap and cheer the loudest. Right before John Oliver won an Emmy and took the stage, a brave soul even shouted Colbert’s name for all to hear. Maybe next year, Colbert!

2. There was swearing, which inevitably didn’t air.

For obvious reasons, parts of the winners’ speeches that involved swears were bleeped out.

When Succession writer Jesse Armstrong took the stage, he ended up getting censored. Here’s what he said: “Quite a lot of British winners. Maybe too many. Maybe you should have a think about those immigration restrictions,” he began. Then he mentioned “shithole countries,” which got him a bleep.

And Peter Dinklage called the Game of Thrones show-runners the best “mother fucking” people he’s ever met, which earned him the same.

This is primetime TV, so that’ll be a no my friends.

3. Taylor Swift didn’t actually go to the Emmys, but her lookalike sure did.

The pink-haired guest we thought might be Taylor Swift was not, in fact, Taylor Swift. The Emmys attendee was a lovely doppelgänger who bounced from seat to seat during the telecast, but Taylor she was not.

4. The bar closed a bit early because everyone was swarming it before the show started.

Lol.

5. And here, in no particular order, are some moments of celebrity ~mingling~ that went down behind the scenes at the Emmys and the Governors Ball after party.
