What, no Emmy thread??

I'm shocked!!

Or is it just Marcian is in dimsay as Glee didn't sweep the awards

VERY happy with the comedy results. I love Glee to bits, but was impressed to see Modern Family do so well, as it's freaking hysterical.

And to keep it vaguely on-topic, Sheldon from Big Bang Theory winning Best Actor.....about time!

Glad that NPH won for Glee and Sue Sylvester always wins, we know that, so that's no surprise

Oh, list of winners for those who haven't seen em yet

Was very happy with many of the winners last night: Modern Family's many wins, Sheldon, Top Chef and the success of Temple Grandin (a little movie, unconditional subject matter, but suprisingly entertaining and superbly acted). I thought Fallon did a good job, but the whole "Twitter" bit turned out to be a bit of a dud. My only complaints were Michael C. Hall snubbed for actor in a drama (although Cranston is very good) and Mad Men winning for drama. While I'm warming to it more than before, I still think Mad Men is overrated.... you too Daily Show (Best Variety Show). Last season of Dexter was so deserving of best drama; Lithgow alone was outstanding, but the rest of the cast and the writers were totally on their game. Sad.

And although Glee is not my cup of tea (at all) I do have to say I enjoyed the Born to Run opening number with Fallon, the cast and other celebs.

Mad Men is definitely the most overrated show in recent television history.

Don't knock the Daily Show, though. While it usually contains less laugh out loud moments than The Colbert Report, it's more consistently entertaining and informative.

Everyone on Lost got screwed. Even though The Daily Show probably deserved to win, I would have liked to see Conan win... if anything... just to see what he'd say, and how NBC would have reacted. I watched the Colbert Report a few nights ago... and it looked like their writers won an Emmy. I guess it wasn't aired?

And... Honestly... Madmen gets too much credit. Yes, it's a good show, but it's no Lost. Oddly enough, Madmen won all the awards except the one I wanted them to win.... but that's only because I wanted to see Christina Hendricks bounce up on stage. WALK! *cough* Walk on stage.

I am disappointed that Lost didn't win anything. Not because I am a fanboy (I am), but because now critics of the show and its final season are going to take this as proof that the final season "was the suxx0rs!" I didn't want another excuse for them to write articles on how much they disliked the resolution.

I am glad that Modern Family won. I love Glee, but it is a hot mess. Modern Family is like a honed piece of humor machinery.

Here ya go.

Sons of Anarchy got no nominations. So, **** the Emmys.

I think the best way to sum up the Kilborn years versus the Stewart years is that during the K years, The Daily Show was more or less spoofing the local news, with Kilborn acting as the aloof, egotistical local anchor. In the S years, the show is more or less spoofing the network news, with Stewart acting as the outraged news anchor (and turning the show into a more politically charged program).

I think to some extent your appreciation of the show depends on your politics, so I'm not a fan generally, but I do enjoy the Colbert Report, which I tend to find more wacky and less obnoxious (and I've never heard anyone say in all seriousness "I get all my news from the Colbert Report!").

Regarding the awards, I thought they were OK. A few good humor pieces. I do feel compelled to watch Modern Family when it hits syndication now. And I really need to pick up Dexter Season Four and get caught up (Lea and I wait until the new DVDs come out and watch a whole season in pretty much one sitting, or more accurately one session of lying in bed; we're like a serial killer-loving version of John and Yoko).
