Who was speaking of gay?

-TNC

And Is Seacrest trying to prove how incredibly gay he is by knowing every single designer everyone is wearing. I loved when he simply said "hi" to Teri Hatcher.

Since you asked.

Well, to me the best thing about the Emmys was not only Two and a Half Men came empty-handed but Charlie Sheen was the target of two mean-spirited comments- but I´ll NEVER forgive Brian and Stewie fro trashing Scrubs... But I like it that 30 Rock, The Office, and Lost won something.

 

[Prison Mike]

oh yeah, Brian and Stewie were hilarious.

I would've loved for House or Hugh Laurie to win their nominations but I wasn't surprised to see it go to the Soprano's. What popular show hasn't won it's category in its final year? And I've never seen James Gandolfini play Tony Soprano but I know for a fact that James Spader is AMAZING as Alan Shore. I'd easily put him in my top 3 characters on TV.

Little disappointed Colbert didn't make a crack about Tony Bennett being this years Barry Manilow.

Well it was okay, i only watched an hour of it. I thought it could be renamed the "worship the Sopranos," hour. There were better dramas in the last year, but they were not even nominated so meh.

Overall Secrest was bad (not a surprise) and the show was meh. I must say as well, that 30 Rock is a bad show. It isn't very funny and if not for Alec Baldwin the show would have been cancelled a year ago. It just drags. The Office is brilliant and even though this wasn't hte best season, Entourage had some great episodes and is consistantly the most bitingly funny one out there. Hell, I'l lsay Scrubs deserved a nom and/or win before 30 Rock or the lousy 2 1/2 Men.

Bad running. And again the show was so geared to suck up to the Sopranos there was no reason to watch the last award.

I was sure even before the nominations came out that the Sopranos would be winning for best drama, which is really sad because there were so many better dramas this year, Lost or The Shield deserved it more just off the top of my head, but they weren't even nominated. Also the Office should've won best comedy, it's so much funnier than 30 Rock, I realy don't understand the praise it gets, I've never really been impressed by the show.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I like 30Rock because I can laugh at it without cringing.

 

[Matt]

30 Rock can make me smile, but not laugh. The only time I've ever really laughed at it, was the episode where the actress offended America. Her routine at the end when she wound up burning the flag was hillarious.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

30 Rock was well deserved

Tracy Jordan= Award Pedigree

Stewie & Brian mocking everyone at the Emmys

I can't belive Hugh Laurie did't win.

 

[ultimatefan]

oh yeah, Brian and Stewie were hilarious.

hmmm, there´s always something kinda self-congratulatory about a TV show trashing other TV shows, and quite frankly I feel FG lost the right to do so a long time ago.

 

[Shifty]

Such... happiness. :heart:

Evidently Late Night has had 20 Emmy nominations and this was their first win. 5 shy of the record, The Bob Newhart Show's 25.

 

[Sawyer]

LMAO at just about everything the cast of The Office was involved in: Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski and Rainn wilson talking about Steve (and Steve looked pissed afterward), Rainn Wilson/Kanye, and Steve getting Ricky Gervaises award. I loved it all. It made it worth watching, even though everything else sucked. Who agrees?

 

[SouLeSS]

Wonder how much trouble Seacrest is gonna get in for saying "wow this didnt look this gay backstage"

 

[WorthyStevens]

30 Rock.

That's got to be one of the most overhyped shows ever. The Office deserved the award.

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

I don't even watch network TV so the Emmys are pretty boring for me, lots of garbage not worth watching.

except for Punk'd, Pimp My Ride.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

The Wire and Friday Night Lights deserved nominations especially considering the heavy amount of critical praise they got this past seasons.

I love the Office, but 30 Rock is just as good so I'm glad they won ( Tracy Jordan people!!!!! )

 

[javon]

The Emmy's already came on?!

 

[Sawyer]

30 Rock.

That's got to be one of the most overhyped shows ever. The Office deserved the award.

While The Office is undoubtably better, 30 Rock aint bad. At least Ugly Betty didnt win. Sopranos is supremely over-rated.

 

[Milu]

I was surprised Office didn't win best comedy, but satisfied that 30 Rock won. Those are the two best comedies on NBC.
