I love how NPH seems to be aware of how silly everything he's doing is. It makes even the annoying introduction of the stage schtick seem charming. Well, at least HE seems charming. Per usual.

is this better than last year? thoughts?

What a travesty. I like Jon Cryer, but that award should have been Neil's. He did an amazing job all last season (and every year on HIMYM). He is a standout performer, able to be hilarious and poignant. (Not saying Jon can't do those things, because he can -- I just haven't seen him do that on Two and a Half Men because it doesn't seem to be that kind of show.)

Neil, you were robbed, man.

FYI: as an Aussie who has stood in the rain at a musical festival just to see it for his own eyes, Toni Collette is totally in a band.

I love how Neil is handling the show, with such grace and humor. I'm finding it all very entertaining so far.

I'm loving them naming off the presenters' cheesy former jobs on random shows or old TV movies, afterschool specials and such. Hilarious.

Nooo, the glasses on Poehler and Wiig weren't a coincidence, because everyone but Vanessa Williams wore glasses when she looked at the camera, and Chenowith gasped out during her acceptance speech, "That was Amy Poehler's idea, the glasses." Look up at the screen while typing, if you can! :-)

I had no idea how much I wanted NPH to win until he lost (to Jon Cryer of all people. I mean he's not bad but seriously?). Sigh.

this reality/movie/miniseries section is boring and i would leave for awhile if i wasn't concerned the dr horrible thing would pop up in the middle.

*sigh* Neither NPH nor Phil won. On the plus side, Kristin did, and gave a great little speech.

Seriously, this liveblogging is pretty bad. Are you paying attention?

Doctor Horrible! Awesome...

Oh, weeee, Dr. Horrible, hooray!!! How much do we love him. And here I thought my dear Nathan Fillion wouldn't make an appearance.

wow, not so many women on the writing staffs at comedy shows, huh?

"Steve Carell and Meryl Streep find this totally hysterical. I'm not sure I do."

I'm pretty sure that was Glenn Close, and not Meryl Streep. Could be wrong though.

And then, the cheapskates among us recognized the awfulness of not buying TiVo or a second satellite box: I have to choose between the first airing of Mad Men, and the rest of the Emmys? Nooooooooooo!

The mini-series/movie one was the only case in which I was partially convinced the Academy has a clue.

Excellent memorial. Really done well and I have more tears than usual. Sarah's voice made it ache all the more to lose all these talented people.

completely assinine that there are no other comedy writers nominated. Ridiculous! Really people? Not another comedy is on TV? Even the ONE other show nominated is nothing anyone heard of before. NPH is the only reason to watch this type of thing when these stupid nominations happen.

Matthew Weiner has a wife?!?!

I loved: "You have to learn how to tell people to go to hell...and make them believe they really want to go."

Jon Cryer over NPH really? Really Emmy voters really? Love kristen Chenoweth's speech and love Tina Fey. She is so awesome calling out NBC on the bullshit that is Jay Leno by thanking them for keeping 30 Rock even though they are more expensive then a talk show.

I feel bad for Hugh. Next year? Please, please, next year.

Elizabeth Moss was totally robbed.

And I have to agree, this liveblogging is pretty weak. It's not even remotely snarky (which is, after all, the point of the site) and even less interesting. Not to mention all the inaccuracies that have already been spotted by other readers. Way to blow it TWOP.

Hi, it's Angel. Zach's taking off so you all are stuck with me
When I read this, I got very confused and for a second thought I was reading about David Boreanaz and a Bones/Angel crossover.

Anyway, the Dr Horrible bit is awesome, but Jon Cryer's win and the Family Guy "Stewie beats up Brian" bit was not.

For the second year in a row, Mad Men wins Best Drama without any accompanying acting awards (though they got Writing). That's a shame.

Glad for Chenoweth. I've been a fan of hers since "The West Wing".

Totally agree. Even bigger shame that January Jones wasn't even nominated this time.

Its the emmys liveblog.. May I repost it? :)

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.
