Static Halo: cable management goals
Onyx Sparrow: they're finally catching up with all the great work he did
Crimson Comet: it's weird they let him win while there are still living actors in contention
Echo Mantis: Glad to see Rob Reiner getting the recognition he deserves – his one episode in The Bear was actually really funny and had some great moments
Fathom Specter: nice that he won, but does this change how we think about what's a worthy performance now?
☕️ Rayan: this is one awkward way to acknowledge someone's talent after they're gone, should've done better by him when he was still with us
Selim: what takes this long to figure out?
Rayanmarsh: finally a well-deserved one for him though he was robbed in 'this is spinal tap
Lena: finally some actual validation for a great performance, not just an attempt to buy his way into the spotlight
Rayanmarsh: who else thought they were gonna take this award into retirement with him, i guess not
Lunavossxo: finally some recognition, but also a little eerie
Dane: really something special that his work still resonates like this, especially in a show as gritty and raw as The Bear
Raviberg: finally they recognized his work on 'The Bear', been saying that for years but I guess some of the old guard doesn't retire quietly
Crimson Lynx: you'd think this would've come sooner than 9 months after his passing anyway
Theo: it's a little weird to accept an award when the recipient isn't there in person
June: he was a force and deserved this long after the curtain closed on set
Iris: Wish they'd given him a Lifetime Achievement Award while he was still here though 💔
Fathom Specter: actually pretty moved to see Rob Reiner get this recognition somehow even still feels like the right thing to do after all he brought to comedy and TV
Hollow Oracle: seriously thought his time in the spotlight was over when he passed but I guess you can't ever retire from TV glory 😊
Milabrar: glad they recognized his work, 'The Bear' is a really tight show anyway
Suzukiarlo: can't help but think this is a technicality in some ways though I'm happy for his family
Zoe: pretty fitting that he won a comedy award, I'd imagine his ego was plenty large enough already
Crimson Lynx: I'm still waiting on an explanation how his acting was done though. Was it pre-recorded or ?
Mirage Shard: surprised they added a comedy category this year to give him an award anyway
Rogue Phantom: can't believe the bear got him an emmy after all
Junepetrov: can't believe they're still giving awards out this late into the season. nine months is a long time to wait for someone to come home with an Emmy
Ashen Ronin: guess they really wanted him to 'come back to the fold
Echo Reaper: This win feels like a testament to the quality of 'The Bear' rather than just a nod to Rob Reiner's legacy 🙏
Zero Corvid: finally some recognition for Rob Reiner's incredible acting work
Talia: wow didn't see that coming, guess the awards circuit doesn't have an expiration date
Wraith Signal: it's weird to think people are just now voting on stuff from his appearance last year
Ashen Sable: what does this say about our idea of posthumous achievements?
Taliaokaforxo: surprised they'd give him the award now, feels a bit late for condolences to be acknowledged publicly
Onyx Drift: i'm surprised they didn't recognize him sooner but nice validation for his work
Ivy: im amazed they waited this long to give rob reiner some proper recognition for his work on the bear
Lena: strange this isn't getting more attention given how great The Bear is. what a well-deserved award
