Duo behind Room Rater Twitter account rates the rooms at the Emmys

Sunday night marked the first time the Emmy Awards went virtual and until red carpets make a comeback, all eyes are on backgrounds. That’s why CNN enlisted the help of Claude Taylor and Jessie Bahrey, the duo behind the popular and endlessly entertaining Twitter account @ratemyskyperoom, to share their thoughts on celebrity set-ups during the Emmys.

Ahead of the event, Emmy producers sent 130 camera and lighting kits to nominees in an effort to give them a leg up in their attempts to capture their big moment, but if the backgrounds featured on Sunday’s show are any indicator, celebrities were left to make their own unique style and design choices.

Below, Taylor and Bahrey share their thoughts on everything from the lavish party thrown by the Emmy-dominating cast of “Schitt’s Creek” to Regina King’s powerful messaging.

“Schitt’s Creek”

“Beautifully lit. The Canadians are cleaning up. The Roses are winning all the points. 10/10.”
