My predictions:

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

This opening is way too long

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

That was painful to watch. Good thing football starts in 20 minutes.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Mad Men has to win.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

AWFUL musical intro

Phil and Claire :up:

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

I think I'm going to get sick of the Modern Family theme before this night is done.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Wow, Modern Family is kicking some ass in the comedy dept.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

That was the best written comedic episode last year - deserved!

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

The beauty pageant intro for the lead actresses :lol:
Melissa McCarthy's win - that was for Bridesmaids, right?

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Never would have guessed Sookie would win an Emmy before Lorelai

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

That whole presentation for lead actress in a comedy was hilarious. Love Amy Poehler.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Charlie Sheen looked fucked up. And that was a weird and phoney best wishes to the "Two and a Half Men".

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

I'm actually fine with that since there's no supporting category at the Golden Globes, so that's probably all the love she'll get for giving the best comedic performance in a movie this year. And it's kind of like a little love for the Gilmore Girls as well.

MM is actually really talented. It's not her fault that people love shows like Two and Half Men and Mike & Molly.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Creed and Jesserotfl

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

lmao.....Jessie is Creed's dealer.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Melissa McCarthy is such a great comedic actress.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Colbert (and staff) has been deserving to win that award for several years now.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Seriously, what's up with Ashton Kutcher's look?

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

:lol: @ Paquin towering over Caan

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

For goodness sake it is time to stopping having some hack read off some inane comment, (I'm not going to call them quips because they are not or funny cleaver) as the winner walks to the stage.

It didn't work the two years the Oscars had the guy from the Apple commercials and it is not working tonight.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Who doesn't tower over Caan !?

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

Hell yes! Congrats to Jason Katims for Friday Night Lights. Now let's get one for Kyle Chandler or Connie Britton.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

I actually jumped off my couch for that one. Hoping for more to come.

Re: The Official Emmys Thread -- 9/18/11-- 7 PM Central on Fox
 

I love FNL, but "The Suitcase" was fantastic

Good for Margo
