Behind the Screen: The Emmy Awards

The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.

What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

I know right? It's quite annoying.

Did he? I tried to block out last year because I was so disappointed. I'm very surprised with how much I agree with the drama wins so far.
I agreed with them up until the girl from The Good Wife winning. I didn't really think that show would make it as far as it has come.

Chandler gets the "your show is ending so you can win this year" nod but Carell doesn't? Boo.

I know. I'm still waiting for Dexter to get his win :(

Seriously - there's an hour left - what awards are left aside from Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series? EDIT: Oh yeah - didn't do mini-series stuff yet.
fabulous788#37
And now it's time for the part of the show where everyone thinks to themselves "Who are these people? Mini-series? This aired on HBO didn't it? Why did they do a small movie, they are better than that?" questions...
Buck05#38
Yeah, I know right? It's the only way they'd get somebody like Kate Winslet at the Emmys though ;)

"Downton Abbey" better take ALL THE AWARDS for mini-series categories. I'm also pulling for Idris Elba in "Luther" because that show is awesome and they need to make up for never recognizing "The Wire".

I will take your word for it. That's who I want to win then :D

Please let Steven Moffat win! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Buck05#42
So far so good, tater! EDIT: Wait - I thought you wanted Downton Abbey to win all of them? lol
Buck05#43
Ahh I love Maggie freaking Smith!!!
fabulous788#44
I love Maggie Smith as well! So glad she won, but I wish she could have been there.

I did but then I remembered that Steven Moffat and Sherlock were nominated and he will ALWAYS get my vote. :D

OH I've been meaning to ask - what did you all think of Charlie Sheen's speech to the cast and crew of "Two and a Half Men" --- did you think it was genuine? Or did you think it was to save face?

It's hard to tell, especially because it's Charlie Sheen. I was over the entire Charlie Sheen thing after the first joke about it. It was probably genuine to only Charlie himself, while everyone else thinks it's a joke.

This is definitely the most boring part of the Emmy's. I'm starting to not pay attention as much. EDIT: and I don't mean the In Memorium part.
Buck05#49
OK I'm gonna get choked up like I do every time I hear this song...
tatertots#50
The Emmys really should take their own advice. User image
Buck05#51
I love this song so I'm OK with it.
fabulous788#52
They are actually doing a fantastic job singing, but who are they? Am I supposed to know?
Buck05#53
Yeah I was wondering that too - they are really good.
RMD1#54
I swear since glee everyone wants to sing all the time.

It's so overused though. It's like the goto to try and bring out emotion now. And only a very few have ever really done justice to the original.

They are the Canadian Tenors.

Molds told me, they are the Canadian Tenors. EDIT: of course she also beat me to it here...

Zooey Deschanel is so freaking cute - I will be tuning in on Tuesday night just to see her.

Kate Winslet winning? I'm shocked (not). But I love her.

I'm not shocked either. But she had to win, she's just an amazing actress.
