Orange is the New Black, and Seth is the New Host. Leggo!
********
Amy Poehler does cute host-support arm wiggles.
TV’s in a weird place. Seth is here to nurse it along.
HBO has 99 nominations, and NBC is one bitch.
The very, very likable Ty Burrell takes home the first award of the night: Best Onscreen Orgasm in a Civil War Reenactment–er, Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy.
Zooey Deschanel reminds me of a young my Nana. I think I’ve actually said that before about Amy Poehler. I have not ever said that about Uzo Aduba.
Writers award.
How do y’all feel about Louie? I thought the Approval Matrix had a good bandy-about concerning Louie’s “comedy”. I’ve never seen the show, so I’m open. I did really enjoy his performance in American Hustle.
McConnaughey. A friend of mine and her newborn daughter met Matt at church recently. Relative to nothing.
Lots of Streaming Services vs Cable vs Network humor.
Jimmy Kimmel with love for Tracy Morgan. Word.
CBS things.
This year’s Emmy’s, in addition to having like your standard issue symphony band, has an in-house DJ who is cutting and scratching. I approve. I’m all about the cutting and the scratching.
Remember when Hayden Panettiere was “Save the Cheerleader, Save the World”? Now she’s married to a 6.5′ boxer.
Surprised to see Jodie Foster not take home the Directing Emmy for which she was nominated. Awards shows love Jodie like blind, dumb and deaf kids love pinball.
Time to break a little naughty, naughty. Bryan Cranston up in this piece.
In whatever year “Friends” ended, I bet you could’ve gotten pretty good odds on a prop bet that Matt LeBlanc would be the steadiest-working Friend in 2014.
I’m so thankful to the Universe for not making me date Lena Dunham.
I see you, Kristen Wiig, in your pretty white dress.
Sometimes, things don’t win when they deserve to win. Sometimes, they win after they deserved to win but don’t any longer. Such is the case with this win for Steven Moffatt and “Sherlock”. The first two seasons were some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The third season, here awarded, was abysmal shite. Ah well.
Allison Tolman is all about that FBISD life. Too bad she didn’t win.
It looks like there’s a ton of verbiage etched on the bottom of these Emmy Awards. I wonder what it says.
Scott Bakula up. Anybody seen the hilarious “Breaking Bad”/”Quantum Leap” mash-up? Go do that.
Woody and Wooderson. They need to do like 50 more projects together. None of them with Kate Hudson.
Ugh. Sherlock again. This hurts me. Did I watch a different Series Three than everyone else? I love those dudes like whoa. But that was a bad, bad, bad season of Sherlock. Emmy begs to differ. Ah well, the first two years were that good. Better late than never, I guess. It’s like Godfathers I and II getting nothing, then Godfather III winning Best Picture.
Who is this DJ? I wanna know.
Weird Al re-does modern TV theme shows. Now that’s not a bad idea. First up is “Mad Men”. And a “Homeland” jazz freakout! Outstanding.
And the big “Game of Thrones” finish. Dragons and Boobs. Boats and Hoes. Weird Al just stole the Emmy’s, y’all.
Cersei looks so much heiney finer with her black hair.
He can have an edge, but Ricky Gervais is often pretty funny.
Ricky presents to Sarah Silverman. Now there’s a buddy cop movie I’d see.
Key & Peele!! If you don’t know, find out. Might be my favorite comedic duo ever. They can announce the accountants at an awards show and make it entertaining.
There’s a first. The guy directing this awards show wins an award, while he’s directing this awards show, for directing a different awards show. Meta.
Gwen Stefani mispronounces The Col-bear Re-poor. She’s here for the abs, not the diction.
YEAH, BITCH! Pinkman. Emmy. Look up the Kind Campaign.
I don’t entirely get the whole Robin Williams thing, but it seems to me that one of the most moving aspects of who he was, what people seem to respond to soooo much is how hard he was willing to work to be liked and to entertain. I think his actual funniness is greatly overstated, but what can never be overstated to me is how freaking hard he was willing to work for the laughs and the love. And there is something very compelling about that. I wonder if that’s what prompts the great outpouring of love as much or more than the actual laughs. He was a worker.
Cary Joji Fukinawa has a badass look. Very unique.
I feel like this is the second time I’ve noticed how strong the musical accompaniment is for an awards show. I wonder if it’s the same creative forces in each case. Who musifies these deals? Kudos to you-dos.

That’s the big finish. If you haven’t seen “Breaking Bad” yet, do what I just finished doing a couple weeks ago. Binge watch that muff-uh.
Alright. Emmys, yo. Emmys.
