5:06 – jimmy seems out of breath! understandably so.
5:07 – a conan o’brien jab within the first 5 minutes! love it. he can take it like the best of them.
5:10 – okay, this comedy montage is just the best. how are people so clever? the writing on these shows are just amazing.

5:21 – modern family wins AGAIN!!! (best writing for a comedy series) so happy!!
5:24 – outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series: glee’s jane lynch – her first emmy win. on actresses, “most of us are actors because we have no other recognizable skills.” HA!
5:31 – matthew perry is presenter. haven’t seen him in awhile. welcome back!
5:35 – love this modern family skit with george clooney! why is this the best show EVER?
5:38 – jim parsons for big bang theory takes home best actor in comedy series! WOW, unexpected, but well deserved.
5:45 – a definite upset! over usual winner tina fey, nurse jackie‘s edie falco wins for lead actress in a comedy series!
5:49 – WILL ARNETT IS AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS.
5:49 – emmy for best reality tv program goes to top chef! another upset, as amazing race has won it the past SEVEN years!
5:57 – i love jimmy’s funny song introductions for each genre! (comedy with amy poehler, reality with kim kardashian, drama with julianna marguiles)
6:02 – aww, too bad. mad men and breaking bad won for writing & best supporting actor respectively instead of LOST. i was really wanting them to go out with a well-deserved bang!

6:21 – a win for dexter! another of my faves. steve shill wins for best director of a drama series.

6:53 – DARN! i was really hoping that conan o’brien would take home the emmy for best variety series. john stewart‘s the daily show wins! “the competition is amazing but we keep winning it.”
6:59 – george clooney is presented the bob hope humanitarian award. SO well-deserved! he makes a good point: everyone jumps at the chance to help in the aftermath of a disaster, but what about 6 months after? 5 year after?
