Jack Gray
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.

    Must you mention their names, Jack? You'll jinx the entire ceremony. Heidi will jump out and burst into another horrific lip-syncing round of her single "Body Language." *shudders*

    @Michelle I'm pretty sure that Sarah Silverman was goofing. Pretending to be pissed because of the shots of the guys that they showed.

    September 20, 2009 at 8:42 pm |

  20. Jennifer NC

    Hurray Tina and Justin! Justin is the best SNL guest host out there period!

    September 20, 2009 at 8:41 pm |
  21. Stacy (@newsjunkie365)

    I guess that makes up a little for Tina's other loss. A little.

  22. Isabel Siaba, Brazil

    Sarah Silverman is "wearing" a nothing slight mustache! Lol ...

    September 20, 2009 at 8:40 pm |
  23. Maria

    Hi Jack,

    I do remember Wanda from Doogie Houser MD. Not sure where she went. Love that show brings back some great memories.

  26. Paula Muroff

    What's with the bandages on her dress...I've seen shoulder pads but that is a little out there.

    I never got into Gossip Girl, but "Good Girls Go Bad" is my 2009 jam! Therefore, I love Leighton M.

  33. Jodi O

    It is a showtime series created by Diablo Cody.

    September 20, 2009 at 8:39 pm |
  34. Jack Gray

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: if loving Gossip Girl is wrong, I don't want to be right.

  35. Stacy from NJ

    United States of Tara is the show Toni won for. It is written by Diablo Cody.

    September 20, 2009 at 8:38 pm |
  41. Vicki Chance

    jim parsons should've won for the amount and difficulty of dialogue he has to remember!

    September 20, 2009 at 8:37 pm |
  42. Stacy (@newsjunkie365)

  50. Stacy (@newsjunkie365)

    Ooh was that an upset? Was rooting for Tina Fey. (And also a bit curious to hear what a Sarah Silverman acceptance speech would have sounded like.)
