As is tradition, a few friends gathered at my place to snark at this year's Emmy Awards. Here are some of the better comments and other random observations:
The callback to the disastrous "reality show host"-hosted Emmys was inspired.
One of the Downton Abbey actors is SUPER sunburned. You can't let Brits out in the sun.
Do you suppose that Louis C.K. was a last minute replacement for Will Arnett to present with Amy Poehler?
If Eric Stonestreet wasn't actually getting hairy chest pictures for fans before, you can bet he will now.
Aaron Paul is wearing a 70s wedding tux.
Julie Bowen manages to overcome the "deceased favorite" vote for Kathryn Joosten. She also appears to have dressed to glow in the dark at a rave after the ceremony.
Looking at the other amazing actors in the Best Comedy Actor category, it seems to me people came together to give Jon Cryer a "You Deserve This For What You Put Up With In The Last Two Years" Award. And no one seemed more surprised by it than Jon Cryer.
Every year, Amy Poehler is part of a great presentation gag. This year's with Julia Louis-Dreyfus is no exception.
Tom Bergeron shows why he won, accepting his reward with humor AND a plug for his show all in under 30 seconds.
Claire Danes might have the worst dress of the night. It's the color of a squash, the texture of a bathmat, and the cut of a sack.
I would have been happy with most of the Best Supporting Drama Actor category winning. Aaron Paul was certainly deserving.
"Hold my nunchucks" was really the only funny thing from that Tracy Morgan thing.
No one can go up against Maggie Smith.
I hope Jeremy Davies' hair is that way because he's filming more Justified episodes.
Julianna Margulies is wearing drapes.
When Tina Fey and Jon Hamm walked out, they played the Mad Men theme instead of the 30 Rock theme. He's been on her show, she hasn't been on his -- I think the band made the wrong call.
The only thing harder to do than go up for an award against Maggie Smith is to go up for one against The Daily Show.
It's goofy that the band is even trying to play the theme from American Horror Story as Jessica Lange walks to the stage.
Way to go with the callback joke, Ellen DeGeneres.
People start to applaud during the In Memoriam montage before remembering that the trend now is not to applaud during the In Memoriam montage at award shows.
Lucy Liu wins best dress of the night. In a few days, we'll see if her new show is equally good.
I will only accept Jonathan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer winning a writing award over Steven Moffat.
Julianne Moore won what she was up for, apparently making her a better Sarah Palin better than Sarah Palin.
Who sold Julie Bowen, Claire Danes, Julianne Moore on this dayglo yellow-green idea?
Ginnifer Goodwin and Emily Van Camp came to the stage straight from clotting blood and haunting a mansion, respectively.
Kevin Costner just shiny objected staring at his own Emmy.
I saw Game Change. Sherlock was robbed.
I certainly would have picked Breaking Bad over Homeland for Best Drama Series... but I'm glad the Emmy voters finally woke up from their only-sometimes-rational love for Mad Men.
The people of Modern Family have to take their Emmys with them to go get more Emmys.
