Season 5b is the most intense season I've ever seen on TV. It's a freaking shoe-in.

Amazed that Newsroom won anything other than "Most Despicable Cast".
They are starting a marathon of the entire series on Wednesday all the way up to the finale on Sunday. Do it.

Jeff Daniels is still easily the best thing about it, and his performances still are very good IMO.
For 5.1/5a

Modern Family won again?
Jesus Tapdancing Christ. I thought maybe, just maybe, Veep would sneak in and steal it.

Best moment during the emmys:
Well it's been getting a lot of attention, I'd say. Last year, we only JLD nominated, now we have Anna Chlumsky and Tony Hale as well, with Tony Hale winning.
And I have to say, that little bit that JLD and Tony Hale did would definitely bring in some more interested viewers and attention to Veep. It was a brilliant idea.

Modern Family again?
Ugh, last season of the show was pretty average and several great other comedy noms (Louie, VEEP, and nearly perfect final season of 30 Rock).
Breaking Bad, yay. Would have been just has happy with Game of Thrones, but well deserved.
Yearly I do not get how it's humanly possible for Jim Parsons to win against people like Alec Baldwin, but I'm pretty used to that by now.

We can't expect the reign of Modern Family to end in one year. It is a good sign Veep and 30 Rock managed to snatch so many awards from it.

Once the Emmys latch on, they ride that show until it's dying breath.

Just imagine if Dexter had actually managed to win a Best Drama Emmy one of those years.
They'd probably still be nominating it. :lol

Only got 7/17 correct! Boo!
Anyway:
Tony Hale! Huzzah! Totally deserved. And if Laura Dern had to lose to someone, I'd rather it be to no one other than JLD. Her speech skit with Tony Hale was fantastic.
Just like last year, it was down between Anna Gunn and Christina Hendricks for me, and I'm very happy that one of them finally won. Well deserved.
Bobby Cannavale and Jeff Daniels for the major upsets! Wow!
Clapping during the death slideshow? WTF no class at all. Blegh.
The choreographed dance number with all the TV show intros was great. Very well done.
Overall, I felt that there were far too many skits and tributes and other stupid things used to pad out this dull event all the way to 3 hours. Thankfully I had a handheld RPG to grind, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.
Yeah, but you have to admit that that opening segment was horrible.
Also, the genetic lottery. Fans of Boardwalk Empire will know what I'm talking about.

If it's like the Oscars, the Emmy goes to the show's producers.

You are going to Belize, Cannavale.
Other than that, I'm glad Breaking Bad finally got Best Drama. Next year is a fucking lock and it's going to be a swept in every category.
It was obvious this year the Emmys wanted to give everyone a piece of the cake (I love Daniels but come the fuck on) but next year? Next year the empire business takes all the meth profits home.

Someone clear this up for me. House of Cards was nominated for best drama(which it should have been, no argument for me there) but it wasn't aired on cable so how did it get nominated for an award? Is there some sort of loophole that includes Netflix type services or did I miss the airing on cable?

Okay, just finished my speedy watch of the show.
The good: Tony Hale winning. Tina Fey getting one last 30 Rock trophy. JLD winning for Veep. Colbert finally breaking The Daily Show's streak. Abi Morgan winning an Emmy for The Hour (it's a shame it was cancelled), James Cromwell showing us his mossy bank and collecting a trophy for AHS:Asylum, Anna Gunn winning (suck on that misogynistic Skyler haters), Breaking Bad finally getting the best drama award it has deserved for every season it's been on the air.
The "I'm alright with that": Laura Linney winning for The Big C:Hereafter which righted the ship after a disastrous third season, Claire Danes winning for Homeland.
The "What the fuck were they thinking?": Behind the Candelabra winning so many awards (it was good but Top of the Lake or AHS: Asylum were both much better), Bobby Cannavale winning for the one note character of Gyp Rosetti over the likes of Jonathan Banks, Aaron Paul, and Mandy Patinkin. Cannavale is a great actor in other things but there is only so much you can do with such poor writing.
The "It's so bad I never even imagined it could possibly happen": Jeff Daniels winning for The Newsroom. Terrible show, terrible performance. One of the most annoying characters to grace the small screen over the past few years. Everyone who voted for him should be strapped down Clockwork Orange style and be forced to mainline that turd for the rest of their lives.

There aren't actually any rules about this. Netflix is technically a network.
Really? Cool!

Fuck is it possible that John Hamm never wins an Emmy ?
Last season was fucking amazing. Hamm should have had that locked...
yeah it's pretty fucking stupid. if they're not going to give it to cranston for once then the only other option at this point is jon hamm. instead they troll don draper by giving it to daniels haha.
