2 performances of Sarah Palin have won Emmys but I think the best Palin inpression isn't even on tv: @SaraJBenincasa on youtube wins
If Claire Danes and Julianne Moore stared at each other's dresses, would they go blind at the SAME TIME? #emmys #yellow #hazards
Jaime Weinman
I
don't care how prestigious TV gets, I still think a part of Kevin
Costner tells him that "Emmy winner Kevin Costner" is a come-down.

Todd VanDerWerff
When is Kevin Costner gonna get his own FX series with an occupational irony narrative? #Emmys
Price Peterson
They should just distribute Emmys with, like, a t-shirt cannon.
Alan Sepinwall
For the most part people who work in TV don't watch TV, then are asked to pick what's best on TV. #ThatsShowbiz, which is stupid
[In response to a Mad Men actor won in the screenwriting category for miniseries]
Abe vanderBent
Seth MacFarlane
RT @JoAnne_Hankey: did you just draw that up in the men's room? #Emmys Behind-the-scenes // Yes but don't worry, I washed my hands.
[In response to Julianne Moore thanking director Jay Roach and his brilliance]:
Orrin Konheim
Jay Roach, for those of you who dont know, directed Meet the Fockers and Austin Powers. He's hardly brilliant
If only this was #Inception and the camera could cut away and back real quick to reveal Tom Hardy was winning this award. #Emmys.
Orrin Konheim
Tom Bergeron and Tom Berenger both won tonight and more importantly, I finally realized they weren't the same person

Is there an ABC show whose stars have not yet presented at this thing other than SHARK TANK? #emmys

Inclusion of MISSING in Miniseries makes me wish there really was an Emmy for Best Cancelled Series" never heard of this one
Doug Benson
OMG, a prostitute just passed out in my hotel room, turn on ABC right now. #Emmys
Doug Benson
"This is the first win for Damien Lewis. Jon Hamm has still never won an Emmy." -Mean lady announcer really rubbing it in on the #Emmys
Cory Barker
It would have been amazing had the audience booed when Jessica Lange said "Ryan Murphy." #tvdotcom #emmys" heh
Variety:
Winners: Daily Show with John Stewart; Director Glenn Weiss, 65th Annual Tony Awards; Louis CK, Live at the Beacon Theater
Orrin Konheim
I'm skipping the variety portion of the program, wake me up when the miniseries go back and Jessica Lange wins
James Poniewozik
Sara Benincasa
I want to give Jon Stewart the MVP Award for doing the most amusing shit this evening. #EmmyAwards

Thankfully, the Emmy Awards is the only thing on TV that is ineligible.
Drama:
Winners: Homeland; Damien Lewis, Homeland; Claire Danes, Homeland; Maggie Smith, Downtoan Abbey; Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad; Director Tim Van Patten, Boardwalk Empire; Homeland's Writing Team
Todd VanDerWerff
I am in favor of @midwestspitfire and @MeredithBlake's KickStarter to buy Jon Hamm a used Emmy. Get on board, everyone! #Emmys
Will Harris
Wow! Not complaining about Damian Lewis taking the win. Cranston's great, but it's not like his mantle's devoid of Emmys
Jill Mader@jillemader
I've had countless people to tell me to start watching Homeland lately. Now the #emmys are too. Geez guys, I have a job you know.
The Onion
Bryan Cranston definitely deserved another win for 'Drug People Show.' #OnionEmmys
Erin@erinprovolone
Erin
Did the Emmys people put presenters together based on who they ship? First Poehler and CK, now Fey and Hamm...
[In response to ABC letting us know that we all can tweet a certain way]
Orrin Konheim@okonh0wp
ABC is so obnoxious, stop telling me how to tweet!
Orrin Konheim
Oooohh! finally a guy who's never won before on stage! #damienlewis
Kevin Haley
Lt. Winters wins!!! That is what I am talking about. An Emmy to Hamm would be retroactive at this point.
Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall
And with Aaron Paul's win, it's time to watch him on "The Price Is Right" again http://youtu.be/ulBeytn3bT0
Matthew Seitz
Aaron Paul is so likable he could play a guy who slow-roasts babies and I'd still think, "He means well. There's good in him."
The best way the #Emmys could improve is to have people who actually watch television vote on them. #helpfulhints
Kevin McFarland

Boy it must be fun to be on a show where you thank your bosses for not killing you off #IWILLGETTOBREAKINGBADSOMEDAYISWEAR
Responding to a barrage of Maggie Smith bashing:
Orrin Konheim
Frank Conniff
"Maggie Smith couldn't be here tonight because she's had an incredible career and doesn't need this shit." #Emmys
Nathaniel Rogers
I honestly think Christina Hendricks is world class. The things she can do when scenes aren't even about her. Let alone when they are.!
Nathaniel Rogers
so sad for Christina Hendricks. But then this Academy thinks Jon Cryer deserves acting prizes so she's better off.
Orrin Konheim@okonh0wp
Julian Fellows = Bernard Lee (from the James Bond series) ?
Reality Shows
Winners: Amazing Race; Tom Bergeron, Dancing with the Stars
emilynussbaum
Tom "Harrison" Bergeron wins for Dancing with the "Oh my god it's full of" Stars.
Alan Sepinwall
Bergeron only outlier so far RT @QuestionMarkP: line about "the easiest way to win an Emmy is to have already won an Emmy" looking strong
Todd VanDerWerff
I can never figure out what it is the Emmys value in a "reality host." So far as I can tell, it involves showing up for work. #Emmys
[Getting kind of bored]
Orrin Konheim
I just gave my mom a lifetime achievement award for best awardshow watcher. If she had a twitter account, shed kill it pic.twitter.com/q0Np6qld
Orrin Konheim@okonh0wp
w/out even checking the feed, I'm guessing twitter bashing goes up 500% w/MacFarlane onscreen
[After which I saw.....:]
Les Chappell
I was deeply hoping that microphone bit wasn't intentional and the Emmys realized no one wants to hear Seth McFarlane talk. #Emmys
Julian Fellows = Bernard Lee (from the James Bond series) ?
What if Modern Family cast members did a season of Amazing Race? The Emmys would fold upon themselves."
Orrin Konheim
That's a lot of amy poehler's boobs we're seeing. How is that classy?
Comedy
Winners: Modern Family; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep; Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men; Julie Bowen, Modern Family; Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family; Director Steve Levitan, Modern Family; Writer Louis CK, Louie
emilynussbaum
Big Bang sketch. To watch the Emmys, you would have no idea that this is actually a wildly exciting period in history for TV comedy.
Orrin Konheim
Though there were worse choices, I'd argue Julia L-D's not Emmy worthy b/c Armando I.'s script is the real star of Veep
Retta
You SEE!!! THIS is why Amy deserves the Emmy!! That bitch is hilarious. I’m not even calling it the #Emmys anymore. I wanna win the #Amy
On the best actor race:
Orrin Konheim@okonh0wp
I might like House of Lies if I knew what it was. Other than that, b/w ppl who've already won and people who play themselves, who is there to root for?
James Poniewozik@poniewozik
"@erinprovolone: Oh gross. Now I wish Modern Family had picked someone for the leading actor category."my thoughts exactly
emilynussbaum
So, who else should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress? Sing out, Followers!
In response:
lara cohen
every time they say modern family i'm just going to pretend they're saying parks and rec. cc: @unfoRETTAble

Libby Hill@midwestspitfire
I love it that Modern Family kind of hates their audience. And now we'll throw Community fans a bone. FUCK. YOU. A. B. C. #Emmys
Alan Sepinwall
That Louie episode was my least favorite episode in that category, but can't begrudge Louis CK for overall genius of Louie s2. #emmys
Is there any way we can vote for new Emmy voters?
Worthy Snubs for Best Supporting:
Orrin Konheim@okonh0wp
Orrin Konheim
Happy to see Eric stonestreet win once but 2X is a bit much, especially w ed oniell and max g. in the running #emmys nice speech though
Dan Hopper@DanHopp
Who's the Lead Actor on SNL? Lorne Michaels?
Jill Mader
Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are my favorites on Modern Family, but I'm so tired of seeing that category dominated by one show.
