1. It's Downton.
2. This may just be one of the best Emmy Awards yet! The year of deserving awards, I might say. (:

*gasp* Kyle Chandler actually won? You're kidding?! Now I wish I'd actually watched... almost.

I know it wasn't for her role as Sookie, but I was just so overjoyed that a Gilmore Girls alumni finally got an Emmy! Congrats Melissa McCarthy (and Kyle Chandler - well deserved mate)

Jeff Probst AGAIN? Maybe, if he didn't play favorites with the contestants. It would've been great to see Cat Deeley pull off a win -- and she hosts her show LIVE.

I am sure Kyle Chandler did an amazing job, but Jon Hamm was absolute perfection this past year. Le sigh...

It's awful that Julian Fellowes won for writing when "Downton Abbey" blatantly stole the flower-prize scene from the Oscars-winning film "Mrs. Miniver." I don't care how good the lines were; the plagiarism wipes that out.

I’d must check with you here. Which is not one thing I usually do! I take pleasure in studying a submit that will make individuals think. Also, thanks for allowing me to remark!
