"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

The show is kind of lackluster so far. Hoping it picks up.

Eric Stonestreet with a WALLOP of an acceptance speech. Good for him! Was hoping Jesse would win or tie. For being the couple they are in the show, I'm surprised their votes don't split allowing another nominee to win. Just goes to show how well liked Eric is.

It was a lovely speech.
Julie Bowen looks gorgeous! I'm glad she won. But the nipple cover jokes are dying.

Posted: 9/23/12 at 8:42pmUmm - Jon Cryer? Seriously? Is it just me or did he win out of pity over Charlie Sheen - from a year ago? Seriously?

Posted: 9/23/12 at 8:54pmJLD is great on VEEP and people knew immediately, that is was between her and Amy. Made for an interesting side-by-side comparison of the shows when Leslie Knope's whole arc was a political campaign. I still would have given it to Amy just because I am not sure how many seasons NBC will let the show go.

I was so hoping for Jared Harris 
and writing for Mad Men!

Maggie!
Disappointed she couldn't be there to accept, but so happy for her!

Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:17pmChristina Hendricks was robbed and it turned out exactly how I expected with Dame Maggie Smith getting another award.
#12EMMYS 2012
Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:21pmI wholeheartedly concur with Christina Hendricks being robbed. I love Dame Maggie of course, but it should have been Christina.

Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:30pmIt is so bizarre that Mad Men has not won for Acting in its history. Jon Hamm vs. Cranston seemed like the race but Damian Lewis was actually a pleasant surprise though I wanting Hamm to win just cuz Cranston has a million at this point.

I'm happy with most of the results so far, especially Julia Louis Dreyfus - though I hate myself because I think all award- shows are mostly bull**** but can't help rooting for my favourites.
C'mon, Kathy Bates!

Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:39pmHomeland is great but don't watch it with Breaking Bad cuz that'll just be a trip to the hospital with heart palpitations.
#20EMMYS 2012
Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:40pmhaha good to know. WIth everything starting up this week, I haven't worked out an exact schedule. I think I'll start Homeland when I get it and do Breaking Bad during the winter hiatus. This is what I think about.

Posted: 9/23/12 at 9:41pmJon Cryer's win is not surprising to me...it demonstrates just how the voters think, he did not win on merit.

Okay, so I contradict myself - Kathy Bates shoulda won! Why do they never vote based on MY sentiment?

I know, that is so frustrating.
And I expect mandypatinkinholla as a screen-name on this board by the end of the week.
