That annoyed me too. I mean, I can watch 30 Rock, and sometimes I do, but I don't LOVE it. I don't make a point of watching it. It's not nearly as funny as The Office or.... well, that's it really. Man, comedies suck lately. |

I'm happy about Outstanding Special Class - Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs – Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, also known as The Only Emmy Joss Whedon Will Ever Win
Kathy Griffin lost her category, which you know is going to be a whole thing on her show next season.
I'm interested to note they give out Emmys for commercials and main titles.
And also to note that some of the categories have ties, including a category that only had two nominees to begin with.  |

Ugh, I was so disappointed with the winners. I'm guessing no one else watched. |

I missed most of it but did see that "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston won for outstanding actor. Well deserved I might add.
But I also wish the show had gotten the Outstanding Drama Emmy instead of "Mad Men" which I also love. Dexter would have been a close second in my opinion. |
