The Emmy’s aka the television award show that actually matters will be hosted by CBS next year. While the hosting gig remains up for grabs, the broadcaster has already announced an air date. This live ceremony will take place from the Nokia Theatre on September 22, 2013. The next we hear about this will probably when a host or hosts are selected, but right now the obvious choice is a star from one of the network’s programs. That is pretty unfortunate, but then again they do have the acceptable option of Neil Patrick Harris which they regularly tap to front the Tonys. Continue Reading

In terms of shock value, the only real surprise this time around was Bryan Cranston not going four for four and taking the trophy for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series. That one instead went to Damian Lewis of Showtime’s Homeland who got snubbed by the Golden Globes nine months ago. This really was the only question mark for Homeland going into the night and adding this notch definitely helped to cement its status as this year’s big winner. Continue Reading
Once again, Claire Danes is a candidate for top lead actress in a drama for her role as bipolar CIA operative Carrie Mathison. A Golden Globe victory back in January makes her the heavy favorite in the category that includes the likes of Glenn Close (Damages,) Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife,) and Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men.) It also helps that her material is that of an Academy Award nominee which Emmy voters always admire. Continue Reading

Jimmy Kimmel certainly did a bang-up job this year hosting the television industry’s biggest award show. Not only did he refuse to sing (always a plus,) but he also managed to integrate a few memorable off-stage bits in between his witty introductions and commentary. With those posted elsewhere (links below the videos,) this is dedicated to the on-stage portion of the late night host’s performance which was a lot like what we have come to expect. Among the highlights you are about to see are his monologue, the in memoriam montage consisting entirely of himself, and a bit he implemented to drive traffic from social media sites. Enjoy. 
The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards may have featured the first Emmy loss for Bryan Cranston since the debut of Breaking Bad, but it certainly was a memorable occasion for the beloved AMC drama. While the sole footprint from the show this year belonged to Aaron Paul who won Best Supporting Actor for the second time, there was a bit between awards that is a can’t miss for fans of the meth-peddling series. The theme was Andy Griffith Show meets Breaking Bad, and while brief, it definitely had us wanting more. Enjoy. 
When we heard Jimmy Kimmel would be hosting the Primetime Emmy Awards, we knew to expect some grade-A, star-studded bits that will aim for viral status. Of course, last night’s telecast did not disappoint as the introduction united Kathy Bates, Zooey Deschanel, and a naked Lena Dunham among others to beat up the over-botox’d host. This is much better than the predictable bit where whoever fronts the show traverses through a handful of nominated series’, so we certainly welcome it. Hit the jump for the view.
