last night, jimmy fallon hosted the 63rd annual emmy awards. the emmys are my third favorite award show (oscars, golden globes, emmys), but jimmy's hosting gave the globes a run for their money. helping bring almost 200,000 more viewers to this years telecast, jimmy brought an enthusiasm to the show that's hard to come by. his years of improv training and quick wit helped keep the show's pace up and kept it on time, a rarity in the award show circuit. the show opened with a glee-themed skit and song/dance number check out the skit and performance below. it features glee stars alongside jimmy, tina fey, kate gosselin, john hamm, betty white and more.
ok, and for the winners:
- supporting actor, comedy: eric stonestreet, modern family
- supporting actress, comedy: jane lynch, glee
- outstanding actor, comedy: jim parsons, the big bang theory
- outstanding actress, comedy: edie falco, nurse jackie
- outstanding reality competition program: top chef
- supporting actor, drama: aaron paul, breaking bad
- supporting actress, drama: archie panjabi, the good wife
- outstanding actor, drama: bryan cranston, breaking bad
- outstanding actress, drama: kyra sedgwick, the closer
- outstanding drama series: mad men
- outstanding comedy series: modern family
i really couldn't be happier with the choices. from all the shows i do watch, the people i wanted to (though i highly doubted would!) won. and for the shows i don't watch, the deserving people won...from what i've read. it was a night of surprises, as stonestreet, parsons, falco and sedgwick, amongst others, were all favored to lose against more "commercial" stars. it seems as if entertainment politics were pushed away in favor of the deserving winners. for the full list of winners and to watch clips from the show, click here.
