Here Are Your 2011 Modern Family - I Mean Emmy Winners

Nothing super-unexpected this year, but some nice moments and a few decent jokes make the three hours pass pleasantly enough.

Seriously, someone needs to get this woman a hosting gig for next year's Emmys.
Seriously, someone needs to get this woman a hosting gig for next year's Emmys.

After a lot of behind-the-scenes wrangling that saw Alec Baldwin ask the Emmy producers to remove a sketch he had taped for the beginning of the show and other industry insiders reportedly ask for Charlie Sheen to be removed from the broadcast, the show itself was a fairly tame affair, ably hosted by Jane Lynch but rarely rising to the level of outright hilarity. Still, a good night with some well-deserved winners, especially Margo Martindale and Peter Dinklage in their respective categories.

Hope you guys had a good time in the Screened chat room should you have had the chance to join us! We'll see you at the Oscars, or maybe whatever country music awards show that's coming up this month. Or not.

I wasn't exited by any of the wins, but I did curse Jim Parsons to hell, then to be eaten by eternal ravenous badgers.

Barry Pepper deserved that win for The Kennedy's, him and Tom Wilkinson were the only good parts about that whole thing.

Whhhhhhooooooooooooo caaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeessssssss.

I like a lot of TV now, but awards like these are always so stupid.

eagles_bandon Sept. 18, 2011 at 8:34 p.m.

Glad to see Friday Night Lights get some love, especially Kyle Chandler.

How far can I dig into Christina Hendricks?

sissylionon Sept. 18, 2011 at 8:39 p.m.

Good to see The Daily Show winning awards. Bad to see Parks and Rec not winning awards.

Also, I don't find Christina Hendricks attractive.

nickuxon Sept. 18, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.

Glad to see Barry Pepper get recognized for his portrayal of Robert Kennedy. His acting was the best part of an otherwise pretty shitty miniseries. Also cool to see Dinklage get the award. Overall, not bad but honestly is Modern Family that good? No.

Also...

Hackers of the world! I believe Christina Hendricks has a phone.

Wicked_Wumpuson Sept. 18, 2011 at 8:45 p.m.

No love for Steve Carell? For shame.

Friday Night Lights, son! Coach Eric Taylor!!!!!!!1111

Overall, it was decent. Louie got robbed unfortunately, but at least Christina Hendricks's boobs are there to cheer me up.

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Review
    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
