Bryan Cranston! The Emmys are proving me wrong - proving to me that they don't always stink in their choice of winners.

I love how they are making the nominees in the Reality TV host category until after the commerical break to reveal who won the Emmy for that category.

Emmy's get it wrong again. Colbert has been better than TDS for a few years now.

Agreed. They often get things wrong though.

Yeah those arms haven't aged well. Betty White is awesome.

I don't get how Two and a Half Men is mentioned in the same breath as those other titles.

I love 30 Rock, but at this point I think it is winning based on its need for ratings

30 Rock is starting to turn into Fraiser as far as the Emmy's go.

Glad I came back upstairs to my 19" tube before that.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. I can't understand how it wins so much.

"...we can be viewed on nbc.com, hulu.com, verizon,..."

For such a great show, it must not be good for Tina to have to plug NBC and the show like that in the acceptance speech. Must really need ratings.

Notably, my other favorite comedy of the last 10 years, Arrested Development, averaged fewer viewers than 30 Rock.

Quality doesn't equal ratings these days, unfortunately.

Hold up. In their defense, this is only "30 Rock"'s second year. Let talk about "Fraiser" comparisons in three or more years. I said the same about Candice Bergen winning Best Actress year after year for "Murphy Brown" then the same for Helen Hunt for "Mad About You". But I am behind "30 Rock"'s win.

Congrats to "Mad Men" for winning best drama, and "30 Rock" for winning best comedy.
