[nosillies]

7. Oh god sorry, am editing now

I feel so bad. I'm on the phone with a relative on the west coast, but he's actually there, so I forgot that he'd know but others wouldn't. I wasn't thinking. :-(

[SeattleGirl]

10. Thanks amybhole!

:yourock:

[pink-o]

5. Love it!

Next it'll be a Peabody, right Billo?????

I'd love to see them acknowledge Stephen Colbert as well.

[Renew Deal]

8. For what?

:shrug:

[nosillies]

13. Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series

The show is still up for two more awards, I believe

[TahitiNut]

22. "Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program," too.

Beating out Colbert by a whisker, I'll bet.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

9. And wasn't he cute and humble...

And Colbert sitting behind him (also nominated) gave him a huge hug.

[jbnow]

31. Here is a picture of the hug

Well a link to the pictures.

11. Jon deserve everything he gets!!!

:bounce:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. Yup! Just Saw It! Jon Fuckin Rocks. Go Jon!!!!!!

I was a few minutes behind. Tivo time, ya know? But good for Jon!!! One of the absolute best comedic political minds I've ever come across.

[Eric J in MN]

14. Are the awards for best of 2005 or best of 2006? NT

NT

[nosillies]

15. 2005

And quite often, awards are based on one episode chosen for consideration by the show. I don't think this was the case for this category, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe variety shows might be exempt from that.

edit: I stand corrected on one aspect -- they just listed a specific episode number for best directing in a variety comedy etc.

[Lisa]

46. I believe so ... they distribute "Emmy DVDs" of that episode ...

... to the academy voters, so people can have a chance to see the show. For example, the SNL episode hosted by Al Gore was the one nominated for that particular year (and that's how I got my DVD of it ... sometimes the Emmy copies show up on eBay later).

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. Who on earth dressed Candice Bergman...

Yikes.

[Stardust]

35. Yeah, like doesn't she like have a full-length mirror?Whoa.//

[DarbyUSMC]

44. Candace Bergman? Is that Ingrid Bergman's daughter?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

45. No, that would be Edgar's daughter...

and sadly I screwed up her name. And if I had the technology, I would put a picture of Charlie McCarthy chastising me in this post. But unfortunately I am dumber than most of Edgar's dolls.

:freak:

[AspenRose]

47. Isabella Rossellini is Ingrid Bergman's daughter

eom

[cal04]

17. Go Jon! (Pic )

Jon Stewart and “The Daily Show” won the Emmy for best variety, music or comedy series.

19. So effing deserving!!

+ Jon is sooo hot!

[Gregorian]

18. Bong hits all around!

[chat_noir]

20. FReepers are not happy...boo hoo

Emmy's taking shots at Foxnews, Hannity, Rush, Tony Snow, Ann Coulter, et al, not to mention President Bush and Dick Cheney. It kills the Hollywood elite that Fox and Foxnews is outFOXing them

[bbernardini]

21. I was at a concert...what kind of shots did they take at Coulter, etc.? nt

[NYCGirl]

23. Not shots at all — those rightwingers pics were flashed on the screen as

they were announcing the writers for "Real Time with Bill Maher" (if I remember correctly, Bill Maher's name was read over the picture of Cheney); it was a pretty good bit.

[WernhamHogg]

34. LOL!

I bet those same idiots believe that real, actual bears are writing for the Colbert Report. I've always liked to watch the names read off for that category (writing in comedy/variety show) because those shows usually come up with something goofy/clever/funny to be played during the ceremony when they read off the (usually long) list of writers.

[Blue Belle]

42. Actually, that was Bill Maher who put the shots of Coulter

and the rest up. He used their pictures when the writers of his show were introduced. It was kinda funny, but now the funniest bit of the night. That award went to Colbert and Stewart when they introduced the best Reality show award...

[hootinholler]

24. ROFLMAO!

No spoilers, except the bug that uses the original headline on the greatest page.

:rofl:

-Hoot

[Harper_is_Bush]

25. TWO Emmies! n/t

[RevolutionStartsNow]

26. That's awesome, but...

I am just as thrilled about Blythe Danner winning for Huff. She was brilliant on that show, as were the rest of the cast. Stupidest cancellation of a show in a long time, I can't believe Showtime did that. Grr.

[Stardust]

36. I'm still in mourning about the cancellation of Huff. I cancelled

Showtime. So there!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

38. I thought about that, too, I was so mad...

but I am really enjoying Brotherhood.

Still, Huff was the best written and acted show on TV; the talent on that show was amazing. I was really pissed at them for not letting the story lines resolve themselves by giving it another season.

Grr.

[Cleita]

27. I hope this is the Emmy thread because I just saw Dick Clark

the eternal teenager and the poor guy got really old. When I was in high school he was the DJ on the popular for teens radio station. Of course, I got older but he moved into TV with his American Bandstand program. I got old but he remained the eternal youthful host. I'm dissapointed. I thought he had found the fountain of youth, but yet it was great to see him.

[JanusAscending]

28. He still was the "eternal teenager" , 'til he had a freakin' STROKE!

Bet you'd look old too! Where have you been, not to know this? He is just now beginning to walk again. I was surprised that he was able to speak as well as he did. Looked like the right side of his face is still paralyzed. Hope he makes a full recovery. I've known of people who have.

[Cleita]

29. I think I had my own stroke so I didn't notice.

Trust me I look old. I am old. I didn't want to offend anyone. I thought that the little note that he was my DJ on radio when I was a teenager would have given my age away. I made that little note about him finally looking his age for all of us who aged long before he did. Sorry. We love him. I didn't want to offend.

[JanusAscending]

30. No problem! Then that puts you tight up there with me in age!!

I wanted him to stay "forever young" as well. Thinking that maybe there was hope for me, but I'm looking old lately too! LOL

[samsingh]

32. he dominated the awards

i think he really wanted Colbert to win an Emmy.

it would have been well deserved.

[Stardust]

37. Stephen sure is a good sport. His day will come. One question:

Wasn't Stephen listed as one of the Daily Show writers (the underwater scene), yet when Jon et al went on stage to receive the Emmies, Stephen didn't join them. Notice that?

[samsingh]

40. i saw Colbert listed there too. Some part of the first

Emmy belongs to him - i would say.

[WernhamHogg]

33. Loved Colbert and Stewart as presenters

I loved Colbert and Stewart as presenters for "Best Reality Show" (or whatever that category was called). Especially when Stephen "broke down" and "cried" that he had "lost to Barry Manilow"!!!

:rofl:

[AspenRose]

39. That was funny

Stephen looks great in a tux :loveya:

[Beelzebud]

41. "Good evening, godless sodomites!" lol

[Blue Belle]

43. Colbert and Stewart's "Best Reality TV" introduction is up...

at Crooks & Liars..

Best bit of the night. :applause:
