2. There's all the winners, I don't watch TV lol but the show always interests me

Breaking Bad won, Outstanding Drama Series. Modern Family won for Outstanding Comedy Series. Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates both won, which I was pleased to see. Colbert Report won.

4. Wow, Breaking Bad was in quite a mix of outstanding shows. I watched it for a few

years and then got tired of all the relentless drugs.. even though it's obviously good acting.

I watch none of the "comedy" shows.. and btw I watch all my shows online.. they're not always current but I get the job done.

Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife" (*WINNER) Hey, One I Agree with!

A lot of the shows I like didn't make any Noms.. except Julianna in The Good Wife and Downton Abbey.. but, that's okay.. I never claimed to be mainstream.

mahalo, steve.. that was fun. Much more so than looking them up myself and not writing about it.

3. No, no one watched them

Nielsen is reporting that the broadcast had zero viewers, and other reports indicate that even the live audience averted their gaze from the stage.

6. We'll put you down as a "maybe"

7. I peeked in a few times

I was otherwise engaged for the first hour and by the time I tuned in, the two guys who were "hosting" were juvenile, obnoxious and Unfunny, so I went back to what I was doing. They needed Whoopi or Ellen up there. I also didn't appreciate the cheap, sexist visuals.

8. I actually watched the Emmys, switching back and forth to another show. I was thrilled to

see Kathy Bates had won, under appreciated for her always fine work. I also thought Seth was wonderful and moved the show along very well. There are always disappointments but for the most part I thought it was pretty good. Breaking Bad was no surprise and thought Cranston was great. Then I fell asleep, sorry...lol.

9. Some of it.

It was on. I was doing other things.

I've never seen ANY of the shows, and knew very few of the nominees. You can tell what role tv plays in my life.

10. Tried not to but it was on every TV in the house.

It might be interesting if it wasn't just so much self-aggrandizement by people who are already objects of veneration. Where are the awards ceremonies for plumbers, insurance adjusters, nurses & burger flippers?

11. I watched some of it.

I forgot it was on until I saw some of the results come up in my FB newsfeed. Glad Breaking Bad won big.
