2010 Emmy Awards Live Blog From Zennie62


UPDATE: Click here for Part Two

Hello!  This is the live blog of the 2010 Emmy Awards.  Host Jimmy Fallon played Bruce Springsteen in a great imitation of Bruce Springsteen. But it's not apparent the Emmy producers are going to use all of the tweets of ideas of lines to use in introducing presenters. Not saying it's waste of time and a fraud on Twitter just yet.

8:16 PM - EDT

Surprise! Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family beats Neil Patrick Harris for the Emmy for Supporting Actor in A Comedy Series. Neil did not look happy.

8:18 PM  EDT -  Cool! John Hodgeman's on the show! Hey! Twitter. He mentions Twitter. And the people who submitted their tweets. Awesome. They did it. The problem is the website did't make it clear they were going to read the best tweets.

Best Writing For A Comedy Series is up next.  Unbelievable.  Modern Family wins again!  Two and a row. Christopher Lloyd and Steven

Stephen Colbert is out to announce the winner for Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series.   Jane Lynch from Glee gets a well-deserved Emmy.  And has a lovely dress - well she looks great in it.  But, OK, she's done with the whole "I love Buddhists even though I'm not a Buddhist" thing.  It's her first time, let's give her a pass.  Just this once.

Commercial at 8:29 PM EDT

Laren Graham and Matthew Perry are the next presenters. (Hey no Twitter tweet used here by Jimmy Fallon!) They were OK until Graham said to Perry that he is role is that of "just another Gay guy," which went over without a laugh - not one. The place went silent for one whole second.

Guest Actor In A Comedy Series Female and Male are the awards they're presenting. Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris win. A bit of irony since Neil Patrick Harris is Gay.

They announce Directing In A Comedy Series is the next award. Ryan Murphy wins for Glee.

Wow. Eva Longoria-Parker with LL Cool J. She looks totally hot. The Award? Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series. The Winner? Very cool for nerds everywhere! Comic Con 2010 hit Jim Parsons wins for The Big Bang Theory.

Favorite Edie Falco beat Tina Fey (30 Rock), three-time nominee, and the other favorite Toni Collette (United States of Tara), for the Best Actress In A Comedy Series for Nurse Jackie. Wow.

Top Chef wins for Best Reality TV Series.

8:56 PM - EDT Commercial Break

9:00 PM - Jimmy Fallon's back. No Twitter submissions announced for the presenters! Not cool, man. Well, I'll leave the drama for the next awards category: Drama.

Next presenters are from one of my favorite shows, Law And Order SVU, Christopher Meloni, and the impossibly hot Mariska Hargitay.

Next awards is for Drama Series Writing; the winner is Mathew Winer and Erin Levy for Mad Men. That was a no-brainer. The dialog in Mad Men is awesome.

Hey! What's up with John Hamm's hair?! It looks like it's..big. Well, like he's Elvis or something.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Drama Series award is next. The Emmy goes to Erin Paul for Breaking Bad. Wow, he wasn't expect that and neither were a number of people. But he deserves it. In fact he's so good you don't realize he's not a real person. That's a complement.

And on that matter, here comes Dexter after the commercial break.

9:10 PM - Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series: Archie Panjabi for The Good Wife!

Edie Falco's now a presenter and for Lead Actor In A Drama Series. Here we go. Dexter fans get ready. No! Brain Cranston wins number three straight for Breaking Bad.
