The Emmy Awards Live Blog

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.

    I do not like Reality, because I don't think it is. I think it's all well directed and there is a script...

  35. BonnieLovesColdplay

    I Love Lucy is the best TV show of all time! Even after 50 years, those episodes are hilarious! More recently, Will and Grace! It'll be a classic one day!

    The big bang theory ... I often find myself in the attitudes of them!

    September 20, 2009 at 8:51 pm |
  38. Stacy (@newsjunkie365)

    @Jack: Oh, that's impossible to answer. But Seinfeld is definitely somewhere at the top of the list.

    I'm watching the Cowboys/Giants game with a switch over to Curb Your Enthusiasm in a few minutes. I may bump into the Emmy's when surfing but no plans to tune in for long.

    Hi Jack,
    Wouldn't it be more productive if the networks donated the money it takes to "put on" these events to a charity or host a telethon?

    September 20, 2009 at 8:49 pm |
  45. Chris Sosa - Boston, MA

    Favorite show of all-time? For scripted: toss-up between Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. Competition: American Idol or SYTYCD. "Reality": Real Housewives of New York/Atlanta!

    My dogs are enjoying the Emmys too, but i think that has more to do with popcorn than Actors.

    September 20, 2009 at 8:47 pm |
  49. Jack Gray

    What's your favorite show of all-time? I'd have to go with Seinfeld.

    September 20, 2009 at 8:47 pm |

    @Chris: At the risk of sounding junior high: jinx!
