Alec Baldwin was given the opportunity to present an award? Why? Sure, he's a great actor but he's also a gigantic a-hole. Do we really need to bring up the whole phone call to his daughter thing? Anyhole, and the Best Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie goes to...Laura Linney for John Adams. Man, everyone loves that miniseries or a movie, it got like a million nominations.
It's a really good thing Microsoft got rid of those stupid Jerry Seinfield commercials. The new ones aren't that great but the Seinfield ones were torturous.
I don't remember cooking up meth but this Laugh-In sketch is making me feel like maybe I did.
And the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series Emmy goes to...The Daily Show with John Stewart. Um, hells to the yeah.
Lauren Conrad and Christian Siriano are announced for designing the dresses worn by the awards girls. Lauren, while incredibly annoying, actually looks really good. Too bad she corrects her co-presenter David Boreanaz for taking her line...eventhough he's an ACTUAL ACTOR!! Now we go into lightning round Emmy giveaways:
The winner of the Emmy for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series is Tim Conway
The winner of the Emmy for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series is Catherine something for Desperate Housewives.
Best Directing for a Comedy Series goes to Barry Sonnefeld for Pushing Daisies (which I just got in to at the very end of the season).
The winner for Writing for a Comedy Series goes to...Tina Fey!! She came up with one of my very favorite lines of all time in Mean Girls, "I don't hate you because you're fat; you're fat because I hate you." Gigantic girl crush over here.
