AC360° Writer/Producer
Good evening and welcome to the AC360° Emmy Awards Live Blog. The winners, the losers, possible Kanye West interruptions…we’ve got your running commentary. And sure, considering all that’s going on in the world, the Emmys aren’t hugely important. But if you’re looking to get away from the bleak news-of-the-day for a few hours, then this blog is the place for you.
As for my qualifications to moderate this blog, well, I once saw Angela Lansbury in the grocery store.
We should point out that we’re not encouraging you to change the channel from CNN, but if you’re going to watch the Emmy Awards anyway, you might as well watch them with us.
And even if you’re not watching them, we think you’ll still enjoy the live blog. I’ll be with you from 8:00pm Eastern Time until the Emmys finish airing.
If you would like to participate in our Live Blog (and we hope you do) please follow our rules.
Here are some of them:
1) Please keep your comments short
2) Don’t write in ALL CAPS (we don’t like screaming)
3) Use your real name
Please note that due to volume we may not be able to post all comments.

So now glasses r in?
I think Simon Baker and I have the same eyeglass frames. I'm often mistaken for him....on opposite day.
amazing jack. . .so many joining the blog with u. .. love it. . am not watcihing yet. .maybe on the replay. . .busy with ym. . hahahaha. .take care. . .
I didn't see John Hughes either?!! Hmmm... I hope they did not make that bludder, he was one of the best!
Simon Baker always wears the coolest glasses!
@Ana Michel J Fox looks better than i have seen him in a looooong time
@Jack LOLOLOLZ@ you wearing the same outfit as Ellen Burstyn hahahahaha 🙂
@Kelly: I know! Right? Excellent advice that can be applied to many aspects of life.
@Isabel..I know you love HOUSE too! Love Hugh Laurie! God bless Michael J. Fox.....
John Hughes work was in film, not television
michael J. Fox is amazing!
Alex P. Keaton!!! Who doesn't love Family Ties.
I think the song came (a little) )before the homeless animal commercial 🙂
Everytime I see Ellen B. I think of the Exorcist!!
"If you're having trouble with someone on the set, learn how to tell them to go to hell in such a way that they'll want to go." Ed Holcomb
I think I'm going to frame this! 🙂
OMG, I can't believe its Michael J Fox. He's awesome. He's so... 80's!!
as usual, Ellen Burstyn and I are wearing the same outfit.
How did no men get nominated for Law and Order SVU? Wait... apparently most special victims are female.
Wow- lots of important people died this year. What will Andy Rooney do without Walter Kronkite, Don Hewitt and Dominique Dunne. Sad times for American media.
they shouldn't bury the guest spots for drama/comedy in the creative arts emmys...those are popular categories...people want to see those.
Way to go Cherry Jones. BTW her accent comes from Paris, TN.
Is it Don Draper time yet ??
Did I miss John Hughes name in In Memoriam tribute?
Oh, my! I cannot believe all of those great people left us in one year. Wow!!
I think Sara McLaughlin should be contracted to sing that every year
thoes "tributses" and the song just humbled me so much -sigh-
We did lose a lot of people in the last year.I practically never make it through those segments without tearing up a bit, but that was harder than most. Recently, the loss of MJ, my favorite musical artist of all time and a good soul. But Michael Crichton was the reason I'm doing what I'm doing today, a true personal inspiration. It's sad to think I won't ever get to meet and thank him.
Everytime Sarah Mclachlan sings this song I always think of JFK jr. his wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren.
Nice tribute to the many the world has lost this year.
Well, now I'm depressed.
OMG! I am crying like a baby. We lost so many great ones this year. Sarah's song makes me blubber like a baby anyway but that took it all the way!
My goodness, we certainly lost some wonderfully talented people this year.
Poignant tribute to those who passed. On another note, is Sarah McLachlan associated with anything not terribly depressing? First that homeless animal commercial, now this?
Am I the only one slightly torn about clapping for the people who passed?
Wow... amazing group of people... sadness...
it's always so sad to see the sheer number of stars who leave us each year.
So moving
We lost a ton of great character actors this year.
@Joanne M hahaha i think Stacy is mulit-tasking !
@ Honeysuckleroze sweet dreams and beautiful week ahead
Tribute time
@ Gayle McCauley Malden, Mass.
I also wanted HOUSE! 🙂
That Emerson guy seemed a little weird...
YEAH Cherry Jones. She makes a fab president on 24. Was awesome as mother to Matt Damon's character in Ocean's Twelve. Love her accent.
never saw 24 and really don't want to...
Woo Hoo! Cherry Jones wins! Rock on!
@Joanne: I'm a mad multi-tasker, yo.
Whaaat??? LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell presenting – I don't get it...am I missing something?
Lost ?? yuk
Seeing Friday Night Lights clips reminds me how mad I am it did not receive any noms!
OMG! LOST and TRUE BLOOD in the same category...
Hoping that HOUSE takes it home.......
Down side to being in Eastern Time Zone is prime time shows end at 11pm which is way way past my bedtime to be a "happy" functioning, not cranky member of society- crap, gotta get up for work at 5:20AM eastern standard time.
