The 67th Emmy Awards were held tonight with some new winners that well-deserved the prize (Jon Hamm, Mad Men, Amy Schumer, Inside Amy Schumer) as well as some previous winners taking home additional trophies to great glee (Allison Janney, Mom, Uzo Aduba, Orange is the New Black - for which she is only the second person in history to win Emmys in two categories (comedy, drama) playing the same character; Ed Asner was the first for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Lou Grant). There were a few not-unexpected disappointments (Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black, Amy Poehler for Parks and Recreation), but overall it was a very satisfying range of winners.
The evening saw a nice first hosting by Andy Samberg, including a brilliant opening musical film about his catching up on all that is on TV (welcome to my life and love!) and later a clever spoof of a key Mad Men moment. And it was so great to see Tracy Morgan's return - predicted by Jimmy Kimmel at last year's Emmys. HBO and cable in general were big winners. A few quick comical bits added some chickles to the awards show, but the montage of shows that ended this year was devastating given that it showed pretty much the endings to all of them - spoiler alerts, people!!
Anyway, congratulations to all the winners!
