Mo Emmy
So, aside from Alison Janney winning for an absolutely horrific year of The West Wing, the Emmys played out as they should have. Angels in America deserved every award it got. Yes, it's six hours long, but it's worth the time.
Congrats to Arrested Development which more than deserved the Emmy, but probably won't last more than this year. Great show, too good for broadcast television and too smart to survive there. Appropriately enough, their acceptance speech ended abruptly as the music started and the camera shot off into the background and up came a commercial.
Not sure James Spader deserved it over Keifer Sutherland, but so long as Martin Sheen didn't walk away with the award, it wasn't a huge upset.
The biggest kudos have to go to the reality show award presentation. It was just very genuine and funny. The two kids were cute. Also glad that Amazing Race won. It too was deserving.
Gary Shandling was ok. Started off really rough, but warmed up as the night went on.
