Emmy Night

Watching the Emmy's! Live updates as they happen.

Opening Number - All I can say is wow. A song and dance from TV's cool kids to open up the show. Jimmy Fallon, the evening's host, gathers four of the Glee kids, Tina Fey, Jon Hamm (pulling him away from being coached by Betty White), Jane Lynch, Joel McHale and Hurley from Lost (sorry, I don't know his name) for a song and dance number to Born to Run. Started as a video and then all were on stage for the end. It was fabulous. And Jon Hamm is so hot.

Best Supporting Actor - This category was brilliant this year. Everyone deserved to be there, but only one could win. Eric Stonestreet takes the award and is just elated to get to meet Betty White. Jesse Tyler Ferguson tears up, which is adorable. Also, Jon Hamm co-presented with Betty White.

The beautiful and incredibly well dressed Sofia Vergara and the brilliant Jim Parsons present the award for comedy writing, which goes fittingly to the sharp, smart, and innovative Modern Family.

There is no such thing as too much Stephen Colbert. Time for the supporting actress in a comedy, which has got to be going to Jane Lynch, although the category is pretty amazing. And the winner is... Jane Lynch. Of course. Her improv skills come in handy, as she is both heartful and hilarious.

Random note to self: Watch Community.

Guest spot categories were stacked, and the winners - Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris were definitely deserving. Speaking of deserving, Ryan Murphy takes home the directing award for Glee. Also, he's wearing a snazzy blue tux.

The only thing better than Modern Family? Modern Family with George Clooney.

Holding my breath... lead actor in a comedy. SHELDON! I can pretty much stop watching now. Jim Parsons is fantastic week in and week out, absolutely my favorite actor on television right now.

The ladies of comedy are a classy group, and there is some serious talent. Edie Falco wins and looks just lovely. And Edie? You are funny.

Checking out for a bit while they give out the "reality" awards. Although I do love those Mythbusters guys.

Nathan Fillion really is ruggedly handsome. And Emily Deshanel, you are beautiful, but that dress is not.

Wins for Breaking Bad remind of yet another show that I should be watching.

The tribute to shows that are no longer with us was hilarious, but I had to mute the TV during the Lost one, as I am trying to avoid spoilers. Given that it involved a Green Day look I'll be sure to look it up online after I finish season 6.

"Reality" TV is lame. "Variety" TV is awesome.

The Daily Show wins for best variety show, thus avoiding the awkwardness (awesomeness) of the award going to the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. I also always love seeing the Colbert/Stewart interaction after the Daily Show beats out Colbert. It's so funny it's like everyone wins.

George Clooney makes me cry, but hopefully he also make everyone think. Way to be classy George, as always.

So many of these categories are oozing with talent, and the supporting actor in a miniseries or movie is no exception. David Straitharn is more than deserving. I haven't seen that performance, but he is a brilliant actor.

Apparently I need to see Temple Grandin. Noted.

After Pacino wins for You Don't Know Jack, we get yet another preview for The Event. I don't know that I really understand what this is about.

And the big winners are Mad Men and Modern Family. Two high quality shows that will hopefully continue for as long as they continue to be awesome.
