This year's Emmys was the awards show where people stopped being polite and started getting real. I have never seen more obviously disappointed, if not flat-out pissed, reactions to losing entertainment trophies than I did during last night's ceremony. Check out Cicely Tyson redefining gif-able shade above when…
Did you watch the Emmys last night? No? Good for you! They were kind of boring. And weird. Breaking Bad cleaned up for its final season and most of the shows you wanted to win (Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, True Detective) were shut out. Here's everything you missed:
Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul got the old band—and by "band" I mean "crystal meth operation"—back together for a fake pawn shop reality show to promote the upcoming Emmys. 2013 Best Actress in a Comedy Julia Louis-Dreyfus also appears, playing 1996 Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Around the time Louis C.K.'s Louie was picked up by FX in 2009, C.K. appeared in Ricky Gervais's The Invention of Lying. And now that they're both up for the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy, Gervais says C.K.'s career never would have happened without that little boost.
It wouldn't be the Emmys without someone getting snubbed, but at least most Emmy hopefuls get to decide where they'll be when they find out whether they got the nomination. "Fucking Indian woman who has her own fucking network television show" Mindy Kaling co-hosted this year's noms, so she had to remain on stage…
Every year, Americans are treated to a long procession of assemblies in which Hollywood's most creative minds boldly suggest there is intrinsic entertainment value in watching people give prizes to themselves. On Sunday, we passed the first of these. And yet, for the 71st straight year, the most deserving martyrs of…
It's that time of the year again when the days get shorter, the leaves change colors, and Tina Fey hosts the Saturday Night Live season premiere to make it seem like it just might be worth tuning in this time around.
The 2013 Emmys were—as they almost always are—excruciating. But between the horrific meta jokes and the bizarre interpretive dance segment, there were a handful of moments of actual good television—most of them, as tends to be the case with live TV, totally unplanned.
The weirdest running thread of the Emmys was the series of green-room cutaways to Criminal Minds actor/former Soul Train host Shemar Moore. When the camera turned on him, it could go real right or real wrong, as they say on Basketball Wives. Sometimes he stumbled over the cue cards, seemingly unable to catch up with…
Edie Falco, who spent eight years playing the wife of the late James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano, gave one of the night's most memorable speeches, remembering her longtime onscreen partner with a touching, emotional tribute.
Kevin Spacey just wants to watch Kaley Cuoco introduce the death montage without some goddamn camera getting up in his face. Is that so much to ask?
Did he get caught where he wasn't supposed to be on live TV? Is this a bit? Is it real? Is it fake? Does it matter when the shuffle is this great?
Before performing his song "Home Again," Elton John read a speech about Liberace (the subject of the multi-nominated HBO movie Behind the Candelabra) that he clearly did not write and maybe had never seen before he read it on live television.
Here's Merritt Wever winning for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Nurse Jackie. They should all be this short and this weird. None of them will be.
Sofía Vergara's ass cheeks made a bold leap for freedom last night, bursting through the back of her dress just before their minder was due onstage to accept an Emmy.
It's a very darling sort of year for the Emmys with critical/Internet/real people favs like Girls, Breaking Bad, Homeland, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock popping up in multiple categories. Mad Men and American Horror Story lead with 17 nominations. Somewhat weirdly, American Horror…
These two actors blew more than air kisses on the red carpet, but do their spouses know? This Dancing with the Stars contestant is a little crazy, and this actor left his date in the car at the Emmys so he could hit on other women. That show really saw some action!
The internet set on fire last night saying that Alec Baldwin skipped the Emmys because the producers at Fox cut a joke he told about the News of the World hacking scandal in a taped segment. The real reason is much more boring.
Really, Josh Charles? On the Emmy's red carpet? Josh Charles, star of Emmy-nominated drama The Good Wife, boyfriend of ballerina novelist Sophie Flack? You know your parents watch the Emmy's, right? And your high school math teacher? And your Great Aunt Judy, and her pervy husband Fred? Everyone you have ever known…
Just like the weekend, the 63rd Primetime Emmys are history. This year's telecast was hosted by Glee's Jane Lynch and aired live on Fox from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Despite Alec Baldwin's last-minute pullout, pretty much every small screen star showed up to celebrate television's biggest night.
