Ah, Emmy time has arrived! Did your favorite actors/shows win?
As much as I loved Neil Patrick Harris as host last year, I have to say that Jimmy Fallon was every bit as entertaining as NPH. The skits (especially the opening skit) were hilarious, and I loved Jimmy's musical tributes to 24 and Lost.
I was thrilled to see Glee win so many awards, but extremely disappointed that most of my favorite shows/stars didn't take home the gold (although the winners are all truly deserving) in the drama categories.
All in all, a very enteraining night!
And the Emmy went to....
