I don't disagree, the same could be said for Alec Baldwin, if you have seen him interviewed on 60 minutes, etc. also, Tracy on 30 Rock is great, too.
again he is playing close to home.

Sometimes great acting is achieved by great casting?

I have not watched any of Entourage this season, it seems like I don't miss it.

But, when I start up on it with OnDemand, I always enjoy it. And Priven is at the center of that. The character is somewhat obnoxious, I think that may be why so many people don't like him.

I agree on all counts. I enjoy Piven on the show--but that's because he's supposed to be a character. I wouldn't enjoy that guy in real life, you know? That's all I meant. I watch Entourage when I'm waiting for the next thing to come on. But I don't pay much attention to it.

Jeremy Piven always looks so skeezy to me. I've never seen the show, but I don't care. I was rooting for anyone but him to win. The guy just bugs me.

Yes, I concur again. Especially after hearing what an asshole he was at the U2 show in Hawaii, thinking he was entitled to be on the rail or closed up because of his celebrity

Ricky Gervais = awesome.

The reality hosts? Lamest shit EVER. I don't want anyone ever to bitch about anyone's hosting abilities any more for any award show. Hands down, this will always be the worst, and anything will be better than this.

It's a damn travesty that Hugh Laurie (HOUSE) has yet 2 win an Emmy. Shows they're not worth shit.

I'd say I'm a bigger fan of Lost because of how long it's been on, the mythology, etc. But I think it's a lot easier for that show's producers to push certain buttons that they know will result in fan approval or admiration. I'm much more impressed with Mad Men's writing and characterization, and while it may not be as thrilling, its greatest moments seem much deeper than standard entertainment.

So I'm happy it won.

And I wouldn't worry too much about Hamm losing. I'm guessing he's going to have more opportunities, at the rate this show is going.

Nice to see Cranston successful outside Malcolm in the Middle.

I enjoyed the show last night, it was more entertaining than others I've seen.

Without going back and reading whole thread....1st

to Christina Applegate..I mean WOW she looked GREAT! and I am sure everyone was looking at her chest...total props to her for being there and being ever so beautiful

Totally agree with Mrs. Springsteen about Jeremy Piven

bleh! I have never gotten why he thinks his shit don't stink...but he totally must think it...

Never seen the show that Bryan Cranston is on, but it was nice to see him win..and his speech was great

and 30 Rock...love, love love that show!! Tina Fey is a force to be reckoned with! You go girl!

Christina DID look fantastic. I was hoping she would get a standing ovation or something. I can't WAIT for her show to start its new season, I just love Christina's comedy!

I was also so happy with the recognition that Tina Fey has received for her 30 Rock show. Good for her!

And good for the show!
