BLOGS
Counting down the minutes folks! The live blog starts at 8 sharp.
8:00 - And we're off! How will tonight's opening skit compare to last year's great "Born to Run" homage? I can never remember whether it's okay to like Jimmy Fallon now or not, but that was a pretty great beginning. Bonus points for the Jon Hamm/Jorge Garcia cameos.
8:01 - Yay Leonard Nimoy! That's a good way to start, for sure.
8:02 - Hmm, yeah I prefer the Springsteen already. C'mon Jane, showtunes are soooo 1995.
8:03 - Oh Jeremy Piven. We won't miss you at all.
8:04 - I like that they don't even let Nick Offerman be his actual self. That's how giant a shadow Ron Swanson casts now.
8:05 - Awww, couldn't we have seen more FNL? I know Mad Men is probably winning Best Drama, but give those boys a victory lap!
8:06 - Opening skit grade: C+. Some fun cameos, but definitely not on par with last year. Sorry Jane. Look forward to your monologue though!
8:09 - And Jane becomes the first TV person to hit up Martin Scorsese for work. The perils of sitting in the front row. Strangely short monologue.
8:10 - The EmmyTones, huh? Happy with five out of the six of them anyway. Who the hell let Wilmer onstage?
8:11 - Late night show host duel! I woulda thought Fallon would be more of a scrapper.
8:14 - Wow, Julie Bowen beats out Sofia Vergara for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. How much friction will that cause on the set tomorrow morning? Consider it hazard pay for her stint on Lost
8:15 - She's as shocked about winning as Sofia is! Nice two husbands line though. And you couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate an anniversary.

That Julie Bowen person has some saggy boobs. Bad choice for the gown. Absolutely awful.
Here's hoping Jane Lynch has a dress change coming up soon.
Melissa McCarthy is great, but really, have Emmy voters SEEN Mike & Molly? Amy Poehler losing is a sham.
Chuck Lorre must pay for Emmy votes...
as much as I love Amy, i am sooooo proud of Melissa!!:)
She will always be Sukey to me and I will always be happy for her. Congrats!
I could live without these little prepared statements that are supposed to be funny while winners walk up.
So did AP just deicde to go up and hoped the other women would follow suit? It really did look like most of them weren't sure what to do when their names were called.
Nothing for "Louie"? It's only simultaneously the funniest and most poignant show on TV.
What the heck is this???????
(I mean the musical number with priates and whatever.) Random cr@#$t.
I'm so happy for Melissa! I've loved her since Gilmore Girls and finally she's been recognized.
But it makes an even bigger crime the fact that Lauren Graham never got even a nomination, if I'm not mistaken
Melissa McCarthy looks nice, and I don't want to be that asshole, but doesn't the purple dress make her look like the Grimace?
TAR18 wasn't that bad. I dunno how it compares to the other shows, but if you take out a few things (especially the Goths), it's a great season.
Oh, damn, I was rooting for Christina Hendricks!
clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!
YES FNL AND MARGO MARTINDALE!!!!!
YES FNL AND MARGO MARTINDALE!!!!!
Any chance Game of Thrones gets a win? It would make my night
Yea! Margo I'm happy you won.
That would be Lonely Island, featuring Andy Samberg from SNL. The songs presented were up for Best Song . . . though they lost, they seemed to merit a number, and I agree. And you gotta look up the video for "Captain Jack." Fun shit from Michael Bolton.
I'm happy for Boardwalk Empire, but I wish we got see the cast not having to put up with this neverending speech
What did FNL win for???
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peter WON! Yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drama writing

I was rooting for Elizabeth Moss but it could be worst right? Mariska H. could have won... how the hell does she get nominated all year? And I actually like L&O: SVU, but I still don't get it

when are they going to figure out that someone needs to help these women up the stairs!!!!!!!

Thanks :) It's about time someone noticed how epic that show was. Clear eyes, full hearts!
Wow, what a hideous dress on Katie Holmes. Her hair sucks too.
I am so, so happy about Peter Dinklage. He's a terrific actor.
HOLY CRAP KYLE CHANDLER!!!!!!!!
Kyle Chandler won! OMG! OMG! I literally screamed! OMG! I am just speechless! OMG
Yeah, that was a definite bathroom break. Really crappy and unnecessary.
KYLE CHANDLER! CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CAN'T LOSE!
I thought so too!! I was thinking...ummm my hair looks just like that and I haven't washed it since yesterday.
I happy for the guy from FNL, I don't watch the show, but three of the other nominees (Michael, Jon, Hugh) already own Emmys and I believe in recongnizing diferent actors.
I hate how the commedy winner are always basically the same every year
Also, who put Minka in such hideous dress? It's obvious with she's unhappy
So did I! I actually teared up because he so deserves it.
OMYGOD I AM GOING TO CRY !!!! Fuck yeah Kyle Chandler!!!! FNL FTW!!!!
Peter Dinklage and Kyle Chandler! It's a good night.
Oh good I'm not the only one who is actually crying on my couch right now... KYLE CHANDLER is the man and SO deserving!! Go Coach Taylor!
Was I the only one who thought the Kennedies mini series was fine?
Actually, Hamm doesn't have an Emmy. I'm certainly happy that Kyle Chandler won. But, if Hamm never wins an Emmy for playing Don Draper, it will be absolutely criminal
Hi professor McGonagall!
Kyle Chandler hanging our backstage with his well deserved Emmy! That will never not be the greatest thing ever.
I'm happy with the 'that was surprising' comments but I'd also like to know who actually won what.

Jon Hamm will get his next year. Or else he'll just keep doing outstanding work. Hopefully he'll have a movie career, although his choices have been poor. I'm sorry, but once again PETER DINKLAGE! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

OMG, a Kennedys actor won!! I feel so vindicated!!!
"Downtown Abbey = Crack for Anglophiles and public television addicts. When is Season 2 starting up again?"
As a matter of fact, in the UK it started up again tonight!
I hate this song, HATE HATE.
I surprised about a couple of people that had been shown had died. I had no idea.
Did they show Andy Whitfield from Spartacus? I think I missed him

Since there have been a few other comments on the commercials, husband and I would like to ask why it's important for an Audi to recognize our handwriting. "Dear Audi, please turn lef - back... there. I can't write any faster!"
They did show Andy. But I would have ended with Tom Bosley, Peter Falk, and then Steve Cannell. Seriously, you BURY Pete Falk? Columbo? A character and actor people know around the world? And Tom Bosley, the world's sweetest dad? The anti-Archie Bunker?
who were the men group who just sang that song halijuha
What the hell is with Angel's hair?
I must have blinked, been a fan of his since "Gabriel", can't believe he is gone.
I'm waiting for a Kate Winslet win...
Aww, Andy Whitfield. I burst into tears, but I'm also a little sensitive about cancer right now and it catches me at odd times.
Yes!!!!!! Even though I hated Mildred Piecer, Kate Winslet deserves every award ever! And she is so happy! Awwwwwww

Cinema Verite was awesome, but I doubt it will win anything
Seriously I want to see something beat Mad Men> no matter how good it is I am tired of it winning every year.
Well, I'm glad Rico found the right shade of teal, but man, screw Modern Family. P&R4eva.
does anyone else think Alex from Modern Family's dress is a little inappropriate?! What is she, 12? hello, boobs!
Top Chef All Stars blew, halfway through the season i was like "Is this shit never going to end?"

Kyle Chandler wins! Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!
Parks and Rec isn't fit to carry Modern Family's jockstrap.
Parks and Recreation kicks Parks and Rec's ass in every single way possible. The only comedy that rivals it is Community. The Emmys are deeply, deeply flawed.
Parks and Rec kicks MODERN FAMILY'S ass. Sorry. Rage confused my fingers.
Fantastic goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff previous to and you're just extremely wonderful. I actually like what you've acquired here, certainly like what you're stating and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it sensible. I can't wait to read much more from you. This is really a great web site.
Every body knows that men's life seems to be not cheap, however we need money for various stuff and not every person gets big sums money. So to get fast loans and collateral loan would be good solution.
