You mean the 64th Annual prime time Modern Family Awards thread, right?

I'd say this was the most wrong-headed of any of the major awards shows, but then one has to remember the Grammys.
These voters/members show a pathetic lack of imagination year after year, a "club" that takes people way too long to get into, and then even then have to go up against perennial winners, who win again and again for doing the Same. Fucking. Thing.
How Louie was nominated for acting, writing, and directing, but not comedy series baffles me. The rest of the formulaic, tired network shows aren't fit to hold Louie's jockstrap.
At least he won one out of his three nominations, and at least it was for what it deserved the most--writing. That's not to say that his direction isn't better then the rest, because it easily is.
And I love Aaron Paul, but just...no. Not against Esposito or Harris.
That unfunny toad Jimmy Kimmel makes my skin crawl, I can barely stomach watching most of this garbage.
It is time to give up on the Emmys. Really, truly, once and for all. The media and the nation must stop paying attention. The television industry could show its solidarity by surrendering all the statuettes, heaving them into a yawning crucible and smelting them. The liquid scrap metal could be recast into one Prius-sized Emmy to be shared by Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Jon Stewart, who were the only people to show rebellious verve onstage during an otherwise dismal, predictable show hosted by that deadpan cipher of late night, Jimmy Kimmel. Stewart, accepting the 10th consecutive Emmy for outstanding variety series for “The Daily Show,” acknowledged the exasperating ridiculousness of the exercise.
“Years from now, when the Earth is just a burning husk and aliens visit, they will find a box of these,” Stewart said, holding his Emmy aloft, “and they will know just how predictable these [expletive shows] are.”
Speaking of Cryer, is there an assemblage of words more depressing than “the season premiere of ‘Two and a Half Men’?”
