UPDATED!! DR. HORRIBLE Sequel NOT A Component Of Tonight’s Emmys??
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
UPDATE: We now have word that Ausiello's source may be a little confused. From an inside source who should know of what he speaks:
The Doc will appear at some point but there is no production number. I don't want people getting their hopes up for a big song and dance...literally.
Original post:
Sources confirm to me exclusively that that “Mad Men” and “30 Rock” will win tonight’s top Emmys for outstanding drama and comedy, respectively. But you should consider tuning in anyway, because …
Mike Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly has two fun facts about tonight’s Emmy ceremony:
1) Emcee Neil Patrick Harris will star in a “Dr. Horrible”-themed production number (perhaps one that franchise creator Joss Whedon himself has a hand in?). Whedon won his first Emmy ever last week, for a not-TV-show:
2) “Daily Show”/”Battlestar Galactica” icon John Hodgmen, the Washington Generals of many an Apple Macintosh commercial, has been recruited to play the ceremony’s fact-challenged announcer.
I'm pulling hardest for:
Kristen Chenoweth
Rainn Wilson
Mary Louise Parker
Jemaine Clement
Jeff Probst
Michael Emerson
Hope Davis
Elisabeth Moss
John Hamm
30 Rock
The Amazing Race
The Late Show With David Letterman
Saturday Night Live
Battlestar Galactica
Weeds
and Mad Men
The shot from "Wipeout"? WELL CHOSEN!!
Funny song. Putting the control room and the ochestra on stage was a great idea. Both handsome visual elements.
According to a forums moderator at the L.A. Times, this is the order in which the pointy trophies will be disseminated:
1. Comedy Supporting Actress
Kristin Chenoweth, "Pushing Daisies," ABC
Amy Poehler, "Saturday Night Live," NBC
Kristin Wiig, "Saturday Night Live," NBC
Jane Krakowski, "30 Rock," NBC
Vanessa Williams, "Ugly Betty," ABC
Elizabeth Perkins, "Weeds," Showtime
Herc is VERY happy about this. Chenoweth wants to be on "Mad Men," "The Office" and "24." Which she has great taste in addition to be hugely talented.
Alyson Hannigan still super-hot.
2. Comedy Writing
“Flight Of The Conchords - Prime Minister”; HBO
“30 Rock - Apollo, Apollo”; NBC
“30 Rock - Kidney Now!”; NBC
“30 Rock - Mamma Mia”; NBC
“30 Rock – Reunion”; NBC
All funny episodes.
It's "the last official year of broadcast television," notes Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
3. Comedy Supporting Actor
Kevin Dillon, "Entourage," HBO
Neil Patrick Harris, "How I Met Your Mother," CBS
Rainn Wilson, "The Office," NBC
Tracy Morgan, "30 Rock," NBC
Jack McBrayer, "30 Rock," NBC
Jon Cryer, "Two and a Half Men," CBS
I choose to view Cryer's win as a veiled homage to John Hughes.
Sarah Silverman: one funny lady.
4. Comedy Lead Actress
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "The New Adventures of Old Christine," CBS
Christina Applegate, "Samantha Who?" ABC
Sarah Silverman, "The Sarah Silverman Program," Comedy Central
Tina Fey, "30 Rock," NBC
Toni Collette, "United States of Tara," Showtime
Mary-Louise Parker, "Weeds," Showtime
Diablo Cody's work remains a trophy magnet! I would, however, have preferred this go to Parker, Silverman and Fey, who were actually funnier in non-multiple-personality roles.
"Do you still have the envelope? Can you confirm that it does say 'Jon Cryer,'" asks Harris.
Tina Fey thanks Lorne Michaels for her first big break, but Justin Timberlake fails to thank that creepy fat guy in prison who hired him for N'Sync.
5. Comedy Directing
“Entourage - Tree Trippers” HBO
“30 Rock - Apollo, Apollo” NBC
“30 Rock – Reunion” NBC
“30 Rock – Generalissimo” NBC
“Flight Of The Conchords - The Tough Brets” HBO
“The Office - Stress Relief” NBC
Huh. Love "The Office," but thought "Stress Relief" a weak installment. That was the one with with Jack Black and Cloris Leachman, right?
Rob Lowe picked "Dr. Vegas" over "Grey's Anatomy" and I respect that choice. I'm not kidding.
6. Comedy Lead Actor
Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory," CBS
Jemaine Clement, "Flight of the Conchords," HBO
Tony Shalhoub, "Monk," USA
Steve Carell, "The Office," NBC
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock," NBC
Charlie Sheen, "Two and a Half Men," CBS
Baldwin says he'd give up his Emmy to look like Rob Lowe. But he really only has to give up french fries.
7. Reality Host
Tom Bergeron - "Dancing With The Stars" ABC
Phil Keoghan - "The Amazing Race" CBS
Heidi Klum - "Project Runway" Bravo
Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio - "Top Chef" Bravo
Jeff Probst - "Survivor" CBS
Ryan Seacrest - "American Idol" Fox
I'm down with this selection. Both Probst and Bergeron are huge Stern fans.
Tray Morgan continues to enjoy his sobriety.
8. Reality-Competition Program
"The Amazing Race" CBS
"American Idol" Fox
"Dancing With The Stars" ABC
"Project Runway" Bravo
"Top Chef" Bravo
Another fine choice.

Len Cariou, "Into the Storm," HBO
Bob Newhart, "The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice," TNT

Brendan Gleeson, "Into the Storm," HBO
Ian McKellen, "King Lear," PBS
Kevin Bacon, "Taking Chance," HBO
Kiefer Sutherland, "24: Redemption," Fox
Kenneth Branagh, "Wallander: One Step Behind," PBS
Gleeson beats McKellen's Lear!! I blame the script!
"That's a terrible seat and a hilarious sight gag!!"
Are Arquette and Hewitt mediums or media?
12. Movie/Mini Writing
"Generation Kill - Bomb In The Garden" HBO
"Grey Gardens" HBO
"Into The Storm" HBO
"Little Dorrit" PBS
"Taking Chance" HBO
"The Wire's" David Simon snubbed again!!
13. Movie/Mini Directing
"Generation Kill" - "Bomb In The Garden" HBO
"Grey Gardens" HBO
"Into The Storm" HBO
"Little Dorrit - Part 1" PBS
"Taking Chance" HBO
"Wallander: One Step Behind" PBS
And again!!
No dancing on the "Dr. Horrible" segment, but plenty of fight choreography. Go Moist!
14. Movie/Mini Lead Actress
Chandra Wilson, "Accidental Friendship," Hallmark Channel
Shirley MacLaine, "Coco Chanel," Lifetime
Drew Barrymore, "Grey Gardens," HBO
Jessica Lange, "Grey Gardens," HBO
Sigourney Weaver, "Prayers for Bobby," Lifetime
Is Lange hinting she's available for a "Housewives" role?
Those Old Navy mannequin ads may be the least funny ever forged.
15. TV Movie
"Coco Chanel," Lifetime
"Grey Gardens," HBO
"Into the Storm," HBO
"Prayers for Bobby," Lifetime
"Taking Chance," HBO
At last a win to set the AICN talkbacks afire!

This guy directed "Bohemian Rhapsody"! That's worth something.
These writer introductions are always hilarious. I bet they're on YouTube somewhere.
18. Variety Writing
"The Colbert Report" Comedy Central
"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" Comedy Central
"Late Night With Conan O'Brien" NBC
"Late Show With David Letterman" CBS
"Saturday Night Live" NBC
"Accepting is Jon Stewart!" Or possibly some other fellow! Maybe we should have hired Justin Long to announce! Ha! Ha! Ha!
19. Original Music & Lyrics
"81st Annual Academy Awards" - Song Title: Hugh Jackman Opening Number ABC
"A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift Of All" - Song Title: "Much Worse Things" Comedy Central

"Mad Men - "A Night To Remember" AMC
"Mad Men - "Six Month Leave" AMC
"Mad Men" - "The Jet Set" AMC

Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer," TNT
Glenn Close, "Damages," FX
Mariska Hargitay, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," NBC

Should take all wins.
-
Breaking Bad owns the fuck out of it and any other drama on TV, though I will settle for Mad Men winning because it owns the fuck out of everything except Breaking Bad.
-
a show i can enjoy with my mates AND my mum? it's never happened before! (and i had to explain to my mum what meth was!)
-
Just saying!
-
Is that a masturbation reference?
-
back it up mofo.
-
Should win for making Roger Sterling such an incredibly enjoyable and complex character with as little screen time as he typically gets. However, Michael Emerson is probably better on Lost, but I think he has won before. Slattery is the fucking man.
-
No me watchee the Emmys. The talkback will be more entertaining.

Sep 20, 2009 8:20:46 AM CDT
I looked at the shortlist for 'Best Drama Series' and...
by biggusdickus
...couldn't see 'Battlestar Galactica' in it. I could, however, see the ridiculous, made-up-as-it-goes-along bollocks that is 'Lost'.Are you Americans all stupid or what?
-
Where the fuck is Sons of Anarchy on that best drama list? Family Guy should have won last year just for the Star Wars episode. Can't wait for that show to come back.
-
4 times in one category? is that a common thing?
-
Calling Lost "made-up-as-it-goes-along bollocks" as a counterpoint to BSG? Do you actually know anything about BSG? Moore knew much less about where his show was going than any of the writers on Lost. He freely admits it...fuck, they didn't decide who the "final" cylons were until right before they had to start shooting that season. I LOVE BSG, but Lost is a much smarter show.
-
Galactica never felt like they didn't know where they were going with it. Lost ALWAYS did to me (up until the point where I 'lost' interest in it.)Hey, I may be wrong! It may have become absolutely unmissable telly in the last year or two. I'd be fucking amazed if it has, though!
-
Dick move, bud. The time to criticize LOST for lacking direction came and went about 2 seasons ago. The backlash came and went. Keep the fuck up.
-
Lowest-rated Emmys. EVER.
-
The writing and directing categories only focus on individual episodes. That's why you have monopolies in those places like you see with the writing noms for Mad Men and 30 Rock. Sucks to have it that way.
-
Tool Academy.
-
Because honestly, that's all I give a shit about. No clips, no acceptance speeches...OK, maybe the Im Memoriam section. But honestly, just tell me approximately when during the Emmys the Dr. Horrible number will happen and I'll tune in. Otherwise, just post the "winners" later.
-
Here's the explanation.After last year's big ratings dip for the Emmy show, exec producer for this year's show, Don Mischer said the TV Academy did extensive research and found that "potential viewers were not tuning in because they felt the Emmys featured shows that mainstream viewers did not know and were not interested in."
So a plan was hatched that would relegate eight of the Emmys' 28 awards to a pre-show ceremony, then air those presentations on the telecast in an edited form, like 90 seconds each. Those categories were TV-Movie, Miniseries, TV Movie Supporting Actor and Actress, TV-Movie Writing and Directing, Variety Show Directing and Drama Series Writing.
By not showing those eight winners walking to the stage, waving and so on, he figured the show could gain 10-12 minutes, which he would then use to highlight memorable moments from the past TV year — whether they involve Emmy nominees or not.
No dice; all the Hollywood guilds raised such a stink that it was ultimately dropped. -
"Galactica never felt like they didn't know where they were going with it. Lost ALWAYS did to me"
Felt like? So, where is your proof of them making it up as they go along? Do you have an attention span? I bet you couldn't get thru Inglorious Basterds cause of all the talking.
Make a valid point before you bash a credible show. -
That's a good show, Mary McCormack is great & the ensemble cast & writing is great. Why no love?
-
I wouldn't know who to pick out of all those great actors in the category. But go Michael Emerson!
-
They are the best in those categories, fuck the rest, they aren't even close.
-
I so hope they win. They deserve it. Im a big fan of Braking Bad, the show itself should win, too.
-
Is it naive to wonder how they determined that Glenn Close is the "lead" in Damages and Rose Byrne is "supporting"?
-
I've pulled hard to kristin chenowith a bunch of times.
-
You heard it here first, folks.
-
It'll be on YouTube tomorrow. Still no reason to watch these idiotic awards shows.
-
Maybe Kanye West will interrupt a "mad men" award and get a group beat-down he so richly deserves.
-
Really deserves to win.
-
Would live to see this show steal a couple big awards, particularly for Aaron Paul.
-
Yeah, Alec Baldwin is great in "30 Rock." But Carell really does deserve to win at least once. With the "Office" storylines involving the Michael Scott Paper Company and Holly Flax, I think last season really revealed just how well Carell acts as Scott. (And on a side note, Amy Ryan should have been nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.)
-
Bryan Cranston, John Hamm, and Hugh Laurie all put in terrific performances this year.
-
He'll be there for Castle, so why not?
-
Sorry, but they did, and so did their show as well.
-
but, there ought to be a limit on how many eps of any one show can be nominated in a catagory. Four out of five slots for writing on MM and 30 Rock means great shows like Venture Brothers(RETURNS OCTOBER 18TH AT MIDNIGHT) have no chance at being recognized.
-
You deserved an Emmy for the Buffy episode "The Body"...and one for "Once More With Feeling"...but this was worth the wait...as you won it by breaking new ground in media!!! Congratulations, Joss, to your Wife, Brothers, Sister-inlaw, Cast, Crew, Staff...and all!!!!! Dr. Horrible is very special indeed.
-
Herc, seriously, I love both Hodgeman and Battlestar...but come on...he was in ONE GODDAMNED EPISODE!
-
still not going to watch it, will catch the Dr Horrible clip on Hulu or YouTube.
-
Probably not.
-
Acting noms went to Kiefer (for the Redemption movie) and Cherry Jones (Supporting Actress).
-
If Baldwin, Fey, Cranston and Close repeat as winners, it'll be the first time all 4 lead series win since 1968. If 30 Rock and Mad Men repeat, it'll be the first time that's ever happened. And that will accelerate the Emmys to a status more irrelevant than the Miss America pageant.
-
Every time I sit down to watch an Awards show, it's only a matter of time before some ignorant fuck actor or singer comes on saying "We need to be kind to gays - and Iran is the most wonderful place on Earth!" Can't have both of those, since Iran is currently dealing with a massive coalition of government authorities and mobs looking for and killing "effeminate men." Iraq's got this, too, even worse. Can't have it both ways, Sean Penn. Which is it?
-
Sep 20, 2009 3:29:37 PM CDT
I thinki everyone knows Iran is one fucked up country
by lockesbrokenleg
-
got slammed for that by South Park. In the cartoon Penn's character said "Iraq was all rainbow skies and chocolate rivers before..." Hopefully, he will be nowhere near the Emmy's tonight.
-
i too will wait for YouTube. big fan of it too.
-
Bunch of things I'm rooting for, but Aaron Paul absolutely deserves this for Jesse Pinkman. Please let him be appreciated. Cranston winning again would be nice too.
-
And all of the Damages awards.
-
All those episodes of serial television and he wins his first Emmy for the wonderful "Dr. Horrible"?Whedon must be extremely "middle of the pack" when it comes to television.He should just make movies, that Serenity one was lots of fun, it had spaceships and stuff blowing up, sort of like a Michael Bay film with substance and clever wisecracking writing... I guess it's not like a Michael Bay film whatsoever.
-
dont let family guy win, and let emerson get the emmy that he should have previously one
-
let family guy win, it's so much better than any other comedy on TV that it's not even a close contest. It deserves an emmy for coming back from cancellation TWICE and becoming an industry onto itself.
-
Love Michael Emerson, but Aaron Paul deserves it more.
-
Doesn't deserve to...
-
Stop, using, commas, after, every, $#%#$, word, in, your, posts!!!!! You claim to be a writer?
-
Word from the Whedons is the sequel to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog will be a feature length film. If they could incorporate the original three acts into the feature it would bring new viewers up to speed and give fans a chance to see them on the big screen. Perhaps they'll use footage from tonight's Emmys in the film as well.
-
That one dude got on my nerves when he used that sword on everybody.
-
in Starship Troopers and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle...He's come a long way from Doogie Houser....Wait a minute...he's still on a TV series isn't he? Well, at least he's stayed in the same place...More than McCauly Culkin can say...
-
As a struggling actor, it's the guys like Slattery and Terry O'Quinn that inspire me the most. The journeyman actors who hang around and get a brilliant role late in their careers.
-
And I'm more of the vaginal persuasion.
-
I think NPH will pull in enough viewers to beat the last two years. Nothing could be worse than that stupid reality show shit from last year. Nothing. I tried my best to watch but just had to shut it off, it was so bad.
At the very least it's almost guaranteed to be watchable. Though I am starting to worry that there will be an eventual NPH backlash. -
Sep 20, 2009 5:56:37 PM CDT
Why do they say the "Lowest rated ever" when it's always
by lockesbrokenleg
the exact opposite? Way to cover your ass.
-
of 60 minutes. Do they dare show the Emmys already in progress if 60 Minutes goes the duration?
-
Follow the Bouncing Boobs...
-
neil patrick harris who gave you the new info?
-
keep it up!
-
Wow. Truer words were never spoken...
-
...an Emmy.
-
Damn, poor Pushing Daisies...
-
I miss you PD :) Oh she squeaked..
-
Yum.
-
(call or write me. larry@parentsbasement.com)
-
loved a lot of that category but was so happy to see Chenoweth get it. Her episode where she was trying to figure out double negatives could win anyone over. PD forever :(
-
but was NPH just screaming at some backstage execs?
-
have been eligible?
-
...30 Rock is not that funny.
-
from Party Down, but also Big Bang Theory. And the Emmy folks wonder why ratings are freefalling; because 99% of America never saw Conchords.
-
But I understand why you'd be polite.
-
Jesus balls.
-
Jon Fucking Cryer? What in the world is going on here?
-
What?! Jon Cryer? *fartnoise*
-
Dillon looked sad!
-
Wow. Maybe the conspiracy theorists are right: they're going to give some awards away to the worst actors/shows because they're more popular to drive up ratings?
-
Thanks for jinxing NPH, Thrillhouse. ;)
-
I had no idea that Two and a Half Men was a comedy. I thought it was one of those "Broadcast Testing System" things to make sure that CBS's signals were getting out.
-
Think of it as a lifetime achievement award.
-
I love her and she's great in whatever she does, usually.
-
TONI FUCKING COLLETTE??????? For fuck's sake.
-
Maybe just a few pounds or something. Sheesh.
-
Jon Cryer was an assy sacrifice in the name of pleasing CBS and the popular opinion. The rest of the awards will be going to original and better noms like Toni and Kristin.
-
Fey was as sure a thing as Glenn Beck saying something insurrectionist. Fuck this shit. Let's have a look at US of Tara's ratings and see how few people saw it.
-
It was BETTER than Tina in 30 Rock.
-
She did it all this past season. Too bad the voters couldn't look past the blatant, look at me bait-a-thon from a movie star slumming it on a TV show. Fey was ass-fucked here.
-
Gee, I wonder how that'll pay off for Jennifer's Body. I guess a Razzie still counts. Go "Lost"!
-
She must give good blow jobs.
-
It'll be Baldwin, I think.
-
Wow, you really like to hate on credible shit, huh? Just cause you get owned on the LOST talkbacks, don't mean you can't get owned here. Back off on Dr Horrible. Unless you understand what went into it. Which, considering your post, much like LOST, you don't know shit as usual.
-
is going in the toilet in the ratings, because they're honoring shows 99.5% of America has never heard of until the night of the awards.
-
Go Alec!
-
I mean come on, how can Carell never win?
-
I hope he thanks his piggy daughter.

Why couldn't Fillion and Whedon do up their collars in that clip
by tall_boy66
Geez, just because it's the creative arts emmys doesn't mean you have to look like you just wandered in from the peelers.
-
Yep.
-
I think you want the People's Choice awards, not the Emmys.
-
TV for mindless assholes.
-
Eff off. Tired of you Whedon fans shutting everyone down. GO LOST! Michael Emerson can out act Fillion any day.
-
reality shows, tv by the talentless.
-
Bathroom break
-
they should have had Coach come out with some inspirational stories about being captured by cannibals in the Amazon.
-
Everyone shuts you down, not just Whedon fans. What was your TB before you got banned?
-
Could someone please fill me in on all the prior winnors to Alec Baldwin? Call me lazy, if you must.
-
(except for those cooking guys)
-
reminds me of the bride of Frankenstein.
-
Between popular and critics' favorites. But to give that award to Collette for the most blatant Emmy bait there is - multiple personalities - over what Fey did is exactly why the Emmys, if they're not careful are on the road to irrelevance.

What a world we live in where "Reality Host" needs an emmy.
by thrillhouse77
Tom Bergeron is the only one I'd go out of my way to watch, because he's funny and doesn't take shit so seriously.
-
He dates all the hot Survivor babes.
-
last season.
-
for that abomination of an opening at last year's Emmys.
-
Yeah, Baldwin is hilarious on "30 Rock." But with "The Office," Carell has to balance humor with seriousness. One minute, Carell is making us laugh with an inappropriate conference/presentation. The next minute, he does something truly touching, such as when he finally hugged Holly. Carell truly deserves an Emmy.
-
Did you not see Jon Cryer win?
-
Next year, Amy Ryan and Ed Helms also deserve to be nominated.
-
Don't answer that. Fuck this shit anyhow.
-
He so clearly doesn't even care if he's funny or not.
-
Ya know what Locke? I'll let you do it to yourself. Thanx Buf Wrestling!
-
The writer of "The West Wing" never actually wrote in standard script form...he just wrote the show as one long continuous script and had his underlings separate his writings into individual scripts. Yes, he broke from standard anal-retentive writing form, in favor of creating his own style of writing!!! All of this nit-picking by you, and others, is just that, and only that; nit-picking for the sake of doing it!!!Stop worrying about the commas and the exclamation points, and start focusing on the content of the words...before, and after...them!!!
-
See how a real show operates.
-
I have not seen one of those movies.
-
for that therapy session scene with tracy back in season 2.
-
reality competition award. Life is good.
-
but let me tell you something....I'd do her.
-
Matt Dillon was in Wild Things with Kevin BaconThat wasn't too difficult
-
That dude is awesome, he can make all the Kanye jokes he wants.
-
do it career-wise.
-
Matt Dillon was in Singles with Eddie Vedder.
Backspacer came out today.
Buy Backspacer. -
Keep posting the winners guys. That way I don't have to watch.
-
As if Dave will do anything other than fellate the man...
-
been excited about getting since Vitalogy.
-
I have not seen that TV movie!
-
Isn't Letterman usually "One-on-One"? Or does this mean Paul Shaeffer won't be there to make asides to ?
-
I demand satisfaction!!!
-
I'm guessing the ones I did see, Impact, Meteor, and The Storm, weren't nominated.
-
I know I'm shooting over a lot of people's heads here as most of you have seen neither, but this is akin to a travesty. AKIN!
-
and I know Charles Dickens wrote Little Dorritt, but that's as far as my knowledge extends.
-
Dr. Horrible! 80% of America doesn't get it!
-
...I'll be really depressed.
-
Awesome:)
-
of the Dr. Horrible thing up. I don't want to wait 3 hours to watch it.
-
random boyfriends?
-
someone on this week's TB asked if she had an attractive figure. I think, sir, you have your answer.

Media Messiah can't get any more ridiculous, he actually writes a rant about how, as a writer, knowing anything about grammar and mechanics is "anal-retentive." Sir, you are a douche. If you want to eschew the rules of the language in which you are writing, you first have to be saying something that is even remotely worth reading; your words are not.

I'm excited!

I camped out at comic con for the LOST panel, met Damon and Carlton, and Im a co-organizer if the NYC LOST meetup group. Challenge me on my LOST knowledge. PLEASE.

The problem is she's only interesting from the neck down and on Fringe they only really feature her from the neck up.

That's nice. I have a limited edition script signed by all the Lost Cast. I got it through that charity website that the Lost people go through.

Jesus Fuck... can you guys stop trying to one up each other?
by themarinebiologist
It's pathetic... I got this from so-and-so; well, I got THAT from so-and-so...
Guess what... I can play this game too!
I am the bigger Lost fan because I have Evangeline Lilly as an indentured servant (as a result of all those terrible flashback episodes). HA! Try to disprove THAT!
Honestly, that statement can be just as true as your statements. To quote the Internet, "screenshot or it didn't happen." -
Your our last best hope for BSG to go out a winner. You did your part with the series finale. Now lets have Emmy grow a pair and honor you with a long-overdue award.
-
The 4th season was kind of a joke.
-
is that Lost fans = millions of mini "comic book guys"
Holy shit, don't you see what piddling little nerds you guys sound like?
And Lost fucking sucks. -
I don't get it.
-
Ok, I know it is not true because she just read your comments over my shoulder and told me so.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
by ian216a
Carol Brown was the best 4 minutes of TV since The Wire finished.
Fuck the Emmys - Fuck them up their stupid asses. -
Just so Darlton can mock Don Draper.
-
Blah.
-
Please challenge me on LOST you dumb fuck. I did those things cause I'm a knowledgeable fan. In fact, in regards to this thread, I have a professional Dr. Horrible costume custom made and met with the cast at comic con. Why am I debating with this dude? Ah, cause it's happy hour here. Go Giants!
-
Fuck that ugly fucking troll and his fucking stupid show.
-
Nothing proves your Lost knowledge better than bragging about whatever pricey merchandise you may or may not have.
-
Nice:)
-
Denny Crane was robbed
-
Confirm this for me on the West Coast?
-
Holy fucking shite. Cherry Jones? Yeah, 24 returned to prominence, but jesus fucking christ - she didn't do anything special!
-
Cherry Jones? Uh, OK...
-
Okay. Let me tell you something...I'd do her.
-
because "the writers didn't give her anything good" again, or is the academy simply over her?
-
She had one hit over 15 years ago that wasn't even good. Why are women so obsessed with her crappy music?
-
Rose Byrne. made all the more smokin with that accent in real life
-
Oh wait, it's not as bad as the Oscars where they had the camera on fucking Latifia the whole fucking time.
-
but I think we've both moved on.
-
but the actress award should have gone to another woman on In Treatment - the cancer girl - she was just fucking heartbreaking.
-
That was really depressing.
-
This was a year for dying.
-
can be that up-to-date, but the Academy Awards has a cut-off date of roughly a month before the ceremony?
-
Yep.
-
Repeat as needed.
-
presenting the award
-
I was thinking the same thing, how the producers were back pedaling saying they'd be on next year. More Bullshit.
-
very vampy!
-
want to go"
-
Who the fuck is talking to you? I did something to you? Insulted u? Nah, I'm addressing a dude who hops on the LOST boards and talks out his ass. So please respectfully back off. And as far as paying for shit, sorry, but if you love something, you'll go to great lenghts.
-
You honored the wrong fucking finale, Emmys.
-
More brilliance in a 5 minute scene of dialogue than in an entire shitty episode of Lost. So much delicious subtext...
-
Mad Men is great.
-
She's soooo good.
-
you don't get 4 out of the 5 nominations for that category and not walk away with the trophy. The only reason they didn't nominate it for all 5 slots is so there'd be another show to make it seem like it might be a contest.
-
God damn.
-
Over their 4-season run. Scandalous.
-
She's great this season.
-
scares the shit out of me. Definitely one character you'd never want to fuck with. When she told that coug going after her son that she would rip her face off I could've cheered.
-

Well, the writing for The Incident wasn't at all that good...
by themarinebiologist
I point, of course, to Juliet's motives. It wasn't one of the show's best.
-
but I'm serious about my Lost question. I think it's just an extra, but I've been told that they never do anything on the show without reason and who the guy is is significant. So if he is someone, who might he be?
-
I shit you not. From Access Hollywood moments ago: "Paramedics have been called to the Nokia Theater for Kristin Chenoweth, according to an Access Hollywood source on the scene who witnessed the incident.
"The star, who won her first Emmy award earlier on Sunday evening for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role as Olive Snook in “Pushing Daisies,” first complained about a migraine headache, then said she couldn’t open her eyes.
"Paramedics are with her now in the room outside of the backstage gift lounge.
"The source says that she is in good spirits though and not hysterical, but rather very calm.
Story developing…" -
Don Draper FTW
-
Good choice.
-
Absolutely deserved!
-
great line
-
Cranston? What-fucking-ever.
-
And I suppose you wanted Baker or Laurie?
-
...that was one of the best ipisodes of ER in YEARS! totally deserving. Captured the spirit of the show amazingly...
-
Bob Newhart's hilarious
-
way too much Thirteen. But Laurie should've won.
-
Ha ha. What a bitch.
-
scanning for Cerie. so goddamn hot, I didn't see her
-
over to this turd of an awards show?
-
But, yeah, no one's going to leave that game just to see Mad Men win best drama.
-
The show is hilarious. But it doesn't deserve the Emmy EVERY year.
-
Does he think that's clever or shocking? Or even logical?

Emerson's win gives 'em a puncher's chance.

What'd they do again?
-
Giants intercept...
-
"Chenoweth has Ménière's disease, an inner-ear disorder which can cause vertigo, among other symptoms. She has said that, during some performances, she has had to literally lean on her co-stars to keep her balance." I heard her describing this in a radio interview, sounded intense.
-
$1 to Matt Roush of TV Guide mag.
-
Now give that drama series trophy to BSG, stat.
-
Lost is a pop culture phenomenon, but Mad Men is just better. It just has so much more substance!
-
It's the funniest and smartest show on TV. There isn't even any competition.
When someone else steps up, and the quality on 30 Rock starts to lag, I'll be the first to say so. But for now they deserve it. It really is that good. -
Very, very overrated. I've only seen the first season, and I'm not impressed. Why should I care about these people? You could poison every one of them and I wouldn't care, because they're unlikable characters. The costume design is nice, though. Breaking Bad is so much better.
-
It's great TV!!!!
-
2 and half men, Big Bang Theory.
-
Somebody's going to actually start that conversation? (btw, i love how Heroes isn't even part of the conversation anymore).
Anyway, both shows are great, and Mad Men is more timeless and subtle, but LOST is still just as enjoyable. Its like comparing War & Peace to Watchmen, they're both very good examples of what they're trying to accomplish, even if Tolstoy is taught in literature classes while Alan Moore will probably only show up in a pop culture class. -
And Lost?
You....have no taste. -
Me, I was really pulling for "I Love Toy Trains".
-
...obviously didn't catch "The Lawn Mower" incident on tonight's episode!
-
Will that make lockesbrokenleg stroke out or make thrillhouse77 be more of a pompous ass? Only time will tell.
-
13 minutes left
-
If it's the Golden Age of television, why do they keep handing out the awards to the same actors and shows two years in a row? Oh well. Whatever. I really thought Hugh Laurie would win this year, though...
-
I was really hoping for HIMYM and Lost or Dexter, but instead they gave the awards to the obvious "academy darlings." Nothing against Mad Men, but that show's just too soapy for my taste. Give me time travel and serial killers any day.
-
And Toni Collette still is the most undeserving acting winner of the evening.
-
as a matter of fact screw new york too. i hope the stadium's obscene scoreboard creates a mini black hole and swallows them all up.
-
"Time After Time" with Malcolm McDowell and David Warner
-
from last year; comedy and drama series (first time ever), comedy actor and actress, drama actress. Rubber-stamp voting, anyone?
-
THAT was an ovrrated piece of ass.
-
..Two and a Half Men is funnier than 30 Rock? Two and a Half Men isn't funnier than ANYTHING on TV. Hell, the news is funnier than that shit. Get the fuck off AICN.
-
Sopranos was WAY over-rated, especially Gandolfini.
-
Seriously, normally I wouldn't give a shit about that, but I've her live on Broadway, and she's a great, great actress, but she was fucking terrible on 24. I can't believe she was even nominated, let alone to win! Give that shit to Christina Hendricks on Mad Men. At least nominate her. You've gotta be kidding.
-
It's just not natural to get snubbed this many times. The Wire was the greatest show of all time and it never won anything, and was barely nominated for anything besides writing. He must have pissed someone off. Or just doesn't give a fuck at all and doesn't play the game to get nominated. It makes no sense. What did he do?
-
2.5 Men >>> 30 Rock where network execs count; the Nielsens.
-
I find it really amusing. It doesn't have a plot, but some of the gags are just great. And it's not heavy with messages.
-

Lauren Graham and Kristen Bell; never-nominated-for-an-Emmy.
-
Stop talking dude. Now you're just making an ass of yourself.
-
I'm all for that!
-
She should get into voice overs.
-
So far.
-
I said u would do it to yourself. And you continue to do so.

That's the episode with both Dwight's fire drill and the Michael Scott roast, right???? That was fucking gold.

She does do voice overs. How the fuck do you remember to breathe in and out?

by pennsydeux
Toni Collette still sucks.
-
Hey, Leno is lame but does he have to be called out for being lame during the Emmys by Tina Fey? Bad from, Fey. I mean, REALLY?
-
We have to put them away and not let them get back in the game. Now I don't want to go to work. On top of that Carol Brown and Generation Kill didn't win. I hate to say it but I think the Cowboys need a new QB.
-
something about lawyers? if not, shoot, get her ass on mad men btw, if opening up the noms is supposed to increase ratings, why not just make all categories have 10 noms...shoot, just nominate every fucking show on the air
-
GOD DID IT!!!!
I have a strong desire to never watch anything by that fattard again -
"I only like CSI Miami though." And any time Ricky Gervais is on an award show is gold.
-
i dont find dissociative disorder all that funny happy that mad men won again (take that you stupid fucks at hbo), and i think that next year the show should be cohosted by harris and george takei...make this fucker as gay as possible
-
you hate everything, and everyone surely fucking hates you. do you just come here to irritate people or what?
-
Jesus Christ, your obsession with Kristin Bell is pathological. Don't you have any shame?

What kinda commie runs that stupid Emmy board?
-
hope he posts tonite...dont want to wait till tomorrow to hear how bad it is
-
who actually liked 'US of Tara'? I thought that was a well deserved win.
Kinda' sorta' agree with the results...kinda'. Like, yeah, the two-peats were KINDA' SORTA' deserved...but not really. And getting a little embaressing. Or you could MAYBE SORTA' see why they'd nominate four of the five writing noms to ONE show in BOTH of Comedy and Drama...buuuuuuut not really. And I'm still wishing HIMYM, House/Laurie, Steve Carell and Sunny could get a little love one of these years.
And HOORAY FOR BEN! And don't worry about that being the only Lost win. They're saving that shit up, LotR at the Oscars style. Next year shall be the year of Lost.
Did anybody get the impression NPH actually WAS a bit pissed he didn't win? But to Jon Cryer. I mean come on. I never thought I'd say it, but Doogie Houser lost to Duckie. Astonishing. -
...was one of the finest tv series you Americans have come up with in years and the people who work in the industry over there can't even see it!Then again, you must look at the British music scene and think we're all tone deaf and mental, so I guess it evens out...

The guy accepting for Original Music & Lyrics was Dan Harmon
by pmlinstrot
He and Rob Schrab (the bald guy) created one of the first webseries sites, Channel 101, and also co-created the Sarah Silverman Program. Dan is also the creator and show-runner of the new series Community on NBC.
-
Not funny. I love the cast and crew...anyway--but they lost the wit...in an attempt not to offend anyone at the academy. Walking on eggshells is political correct politeness, but it sure isn't daring, or funny. Bring on Kanye West to seize the Dr. Horrible Emmy award while claiming that another internet show or movie...was better--and have some congressman screaming from the audience saying: "You lie!" Now, that...would have been...funny, or at least, memorable!!!
-
Have Taylor Swift screaming that line...at Kanye, from the audience!!! Oh, the humorous, irony that would have ensued. It would have been the watercooler talk of every show tomorrow--and been on every news and entertainment show!!! Oh, well???
-
sucking the cock of the movie industry. TV is already better than movies, why do movie actors get automatic emmies? it should be the opposite, tv actors should get automatic oscars when they start making movies, that way I'll care. the chick from "united states of tara"? wtf?
-
Great show; Lange and Barrymore were a real dynamic duo.
-
Maybe it's for the best that you and Hollywood don't mingle.
-
*SPOILERS* Plus, the thing is, what, when did this take place? Horrible is in his old home coat, Penny is alive, but he's able to take over major studio broadcasts? It did lack any wit, charm or appeal. I would've had a Kanye look-alike with Horrible's plan being to send an army of them to every award show for the rest of the year. MWA AH AH! MWAH AH AH!
-
...skit of theirs, by light years, I must say!!! The Dr. Horrible skit on the Emmys was completely unfunny...lite-weight fluff, at least, what I wrote would have been a marked improvement. Of course, after Taylor Swift tells off Kanye, the two stare at each other intently, ready to fight--instantly they approach each other...there is tention in the air, and then, suddenly, they begin kissing wildly...as they fall to the floor--before the stunned cast and crew of Dr. Horrible--leaving a stunned Joss to say: "Thank you, for the award...I think?"Now, back to you bashing me. Please go right ahead, that is...if you honestly think the Emmy skit is better than the one I wrote cold--but if not, stop being a playa hater.
-
I mean, the thing with doing easy, popculture topical stuff is that the shelf-life is real limited. Best to stick to something original. Like your slasher movie screenplay.

You're a damn good host.
-
I agree that the skit that was on the Emmys was god-awful...and if you think mine was equally as bad, well...somewhere in there...is a nice compliment for my work? Hey, I'm rating as high, or as low, as the so-called pros, who BTW...won an Emmy.
-
...your idea!!! A great use of Kanye, I must say. And, I think they could have gotten the real guy!
-
It's sad when the highlight of the Emmy's is THAT piece of shit.
-
...away the whole industry with that skit...but instead, they didn't take the Deathstar trench shot--the chance to show their stuff-off, as brightly, as they can??? I was ready to laugh my ass off...watching that skit, to cheer, and to celebrate this moment; a sure bet...I thought, going into this (yet another win for team Whedon, for certain)...but it was not to be?Next time, take the shot Luke (Joss)--cause the Deathstar is sure gonna take its shot!
-
With the exception of Comedy Lead Actress, all of the major awards went to the same winners as last year. Fucking Mad Men beat Breaking Bad's Season 2?!? Bullshit! Someone should have pulled a Kanye on that shit.
-
but BSG's blows your shit out of the water.
-
Jimmy Fallon's pratfall with auto-tune mnicrophone was the highlight of the night. Laughed so hard I cried. Steve Carrell lost it, too.
-
How old are you? seriously? I'm restraining myself. Or if you like, email me. If you aren't a complete pussy, we can have a sit down.
I'm just shocked (or taken off guard) that you play dumb.
Say the word mofo. say it.
I'm calling you out fuckface. -
Go strut your nerd shit at some Trek costume party. Fuck off asshole.
-
... on the set of "Castle"?
http://s947.photobucket.com/albums/ad316/JennaWants1017/?action=view¤t=photo-1.jpg -
Who the fuck is Tina Fey? Is she funny? Little Dorrit? Fuck off. No ove for Dexter either? What a crocodile shit.
-
Little Dorrit was an underpowered, badly written, terribly led and often boring attempt to repeat the success of the excellent Bleak House (which would have deserved awards). But look! People in funny costumes - we must immediately throw awards at them.
It is pretty bad, really. I think choosing the star-laden epi of The Office (one of the poorest of the season - but with STARS!) says it all. Although Cranston still deserved to win over Hamm - a great performance. How come Leachman's show with him never got showered with the awards it deserved? -
4 years of Farscape (during which season 2's bank robbery arch was the best thing I have seen in the history of television), and not one nomination for acting or best drama. Same with BSG and the first 4 episodes of season 3, the second coolest arch in the history of TV. Sci-fi shows have some of the best acting and storytelling on TV and never get what they deserve, but we nerds seem to get lame consolation prizes like watching 24 and LOST get nominated OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. There were many times where a show like BSG made you actually stop and think about fucked up things in real life that influenced their plot themes (war, genocide, war crimes and rape, occupation, the shaky balance between democracy and martial law). Just a few episodes of Farscape and BSG have continued to resonate with me beyond anything that gets nominated at the Emmy Awards year after year. Want more proof that the Emmys are just n.s.a. blowjobs to Hollywood? Look no further than Ellen Burstyn's nomination for Mrs. Harris, in which her role lasted about 14 seconds. That's when we should have stopped even talking about or taking the Emmys seriously, but here we are, still acting like they matter.
-
Ehhhhh, a few people did
-
And use last years Emmeys.
-
For getting the biggest laugh of the night. Guest there's a first time for everything.
-
Sucked compared to Breaking Bad. AMC needs to fuck off showing edited to shit movies and make more TV shows though.
-
Who watches this?
-
Wasn't a SyFy production I think.
-
Why because she got her start working with the Hulkster?
-
Like I like the show, its fine and all. But for the most part its just fucking boring. Why Breaking Bad doesn't get more love boggles my mind that show is fucking amazing.
-
Clips was not funny.
-
No Billy Mays on the death list?
-
So of course no one gives a shit about the Emmys. Goodnight.
-
The only time I've ever seen anything funny on 30 Rock is when the Ragin' Cajun stopped by. Family Guy and American Dad haven't been funny in a really long time. South Park occasionally gets it right, at least... when they can be bothered to actually put out an episode! The Office? Steve Carrell wasn't funny on the Daily Show, and he isn't funny now.
Let's face it... besides the Daily Show and Colbert Report, which are both getting a little stale, there's really nothing funny on TV right now, is there? -
And Toni Collette still sucks.
-
but AMC is the one that owns drama. Either MM or BB can wipe the floor in any one of the big categories, but I guess others have to be given noms to to make it interesting. WTF?-Cryer and Jones. Emerson's great, but this is his "achievement" Emmy for cumulative work of past seasons; Paul did a better job for this season. Nice speech, though. Show was better than last year's fiasco, but that's not saying much. At least it didn't run long.
-
so BSG and Lost were out. That leaves shit like Mad Men and 30 Rock to sccop up everything. Oh, and that clip they showed of Entourage was full of douches.
-
"so BSG and Lost were out."Um, apart from being nominated for multiple awards over the course of its run, Lost has won a few too, including some acting awards (Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson) and Best Drama (Season 1). You do have a better point with BSG as the majority of its Emmy nominations were technical categories and very few of the higher profile ones.
-
Gets 2 awards during the actual show? Terry won for Season 3, and Michael just won last night, so that's years a part. SNL and Letterman and shit, are nominated ALL THE TIME. Hell, Jeff Probst wins every year.
-
Wait 'till next year. Lost is gonna' sweep the drama catagories. They're pulling a Lord of the Rings, saving up for the openly declared ending of the show and giving it the credit it deserves. But still, props to Emerson.
-
When will the Tina Fey menace be gone.
-
How is it that there was no mention of this happening tonite in NYC on this website? I stumbled on it across from where I live at 7pm and they had some extra tickets. Very cool. Showed the video followed by 1 hour Q&A with Joss hosted by Ira Glass
-
comes to tv they are always winning emmys?I like Toni but that was pure BS! Other tv stars have put years on their show and Toni come in and bag ones instantly! BS!Look at Alec Baldwin dude is funny but enough is enough! He bascially channeliing William Shanter!Its a damn shame that The Shield wasn't nominated for leads because they were easiest the most deserving.This outdated process of nominating and the same people winning have gotten old. Its why I stopped watching award shows and will continue!To see SF shows get the boot as if every damn drama on tv has better acting and more realistic is BS!
