2007 Emmy Awards: Live Thread

by Tom on September 16th, 2007

The final touches are being applied, and we’re axiously awaiting the red carpet arrivals at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA.  We’ll cover the red carpet arrivals (especially Ugly Betty stars), and have running commentary on the night’s events.  Stay tuned - stay with us tonight, or check back often.  We’ll be rooting for America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, Salma Hayek, and Ugly Betty! (All times CDT) Here’s the host!

What the heck is up withn the stiletto-cam? (If you’re watching E!, you know what I mean)

 5:09: Al Gore in in da house. Check it: a printable scorecard!

5:13: Eric Mabius has arrived - wearing Ferragamo.  My goodness, he looks polished.  My wife is, shall we say, impressed.  I’ll have some pics in a minute.

5:19: You know, I love Eva Longoria, I even love her dress, but I’d be so tempted to use her as a disco ball:

5:25: OMG, America Ferrera is being interviewed on E!  She is absolutely goregeous tonight.  Talking about her hybrid, looking for a house, and nominations with Seacrest.  Just wait till you see the pics!

5:33 - Ana Ortiz on E!  Wearing a beautiful Escada.  Talking about her wedding, the cast.  My wife says she’s holding her arms outward so she doesn’t sweat.  Oh, the tricks I’m learning tonight…

5:41 - Rebecca Romjin arriving.  Can’t quite see her outfit yet…

5:45 - Jaime Pressley talking about starving herself and working out two hours a day after her baby was born.  Bleh.

5:50: Hayden Panetteire is sneaking in a small deli meal beneath this dress:

I’ve started an America Ferrera pic thread.  Check it out.

6:08 - Pics of Becki Newton, Micheal Urie, and Ana Ortiz

6:18 - Vanessa Williams has arrived.  We are all very divided over her outfit.  I like it, others hate it.  Nice color for her, though.  Wearing a Kevin Hall.  Talking about being a mother, and being too busy to get caught up in all the paparazzi business.

6:20 -  Rebecca Romjin and Jerry O’Connell.  Just Damn.  Stunning.

6:27 - Fox is hyping that Britney Spears might make an appearance on tonight’s show to apologise for her appearance at the VMAs.  Stay tuned.

6:30 - Judith Light:  

6:38 - Added more pics of America Ferrera.

6:39 - Judith Light is hamming it up with Vanessa Williams on Fox’s pre-show.  Vanessa called them the dynamic duo.

6:48: Added a Rebecca Romjin pic post.  Wow.

7:00 - Here we go…Great “Family Guy” musical number.

7:01 - I’m trying to like Ryan Seacrest, I really am!

7:03 - I think this is really cool in the round.  Ray Ramono is actually funny.   He needs to speed it up, though.  But what the heck just happened? Was he bleeped out, or was that a technical glitch?

Best Supporting Actor in Comedy Series: (where the heck is the nom for Michael Urie?).  Winner - Jeremy Piven (I KNEW IT!).  Nice tribute to his father in acceptance speech.

Vanessa and America up! Best supporting actor in a drama series: Winner - Terry O’Quinn!  I love the pink shirt.

7:17 - The aforementioned Vanessa Williams:

7:18 - Supporting Actress in a comedy series:  Winner: Jaime Pressley.  Pah. Vanessa so should have ruled this category.

7:22 - Supporting Actor in miniseries or movie: Winner: Thomas Haden Church, Broken Trail.  He’s funny!

I’m killing my home page - added the “more” link.  Ellen introducing something, she’s not really sure what… Oh, a collection of late night comedy clips.

7:34 - Best supporting actress in a drama series: Winner -  Katherine Heigl.  She just yelled “Sh*t!” when she realised she won.   Fox can’t keep up. 

Writing for Variety Music or Comedy program:  (The intro is funny).  Winner: Conan Brien’s show!

7:46 - Christina Aguiera and Tony Bennett: Dang, Tony can still sing!  Aguilera oversings; she sings well, but her performance is all about “look how well I sing!”  Bennett understands the song and is flawless.  Oh great, Alec Baldwin.

Directing for Variety Music or Comedy Series: Winner - Rob Marshall for the Tony Bennett special.  Boy they don’t give them long for acceptance speeches…

Lead Actor in Miniseries or Movie: Winner - Robert Duvall, who else!

7:54 Robert Duvall just said “Thank you for being here” - If he had added “Please try the veal”, it would had been a perfect moment!

7:59 Queen Latifah, looking beautiful, paying tribute to Roots.  Nice.  That was THE must-watch-TV of my youth.  Most of the cast is on stage, how cool.  Has it really been 30 years?

Oustanding Miniseries: Winner - Broken Trail .  It’s winning a lot of Emmys tonight.  Go Robert Duvall!

Hayden Panetteire looks airbrused like a Playboy centerfold.

8:10 - Sopranos just won the directing and writing awards for drama series.  My connection crapped out there for a second, so I missed some of that - sorry.

I’m really digging this Macy’s commercial.  Thank God Peyton Manning isn’t in it!

8:14 - Has anyone noticed Ryan Seacrest hasn’t had very much screen time since he made the joke about Paula Abdul? 

They sure are advertising the “Oscar” type movies tonight.

8:16 - Steve Carrell just came out of the floor. :)  Outstanding Variety, music or Comedy show: Winner - The Daily Show!

Outstanding Variety,Music, or comedy special.  Winner: Tony Bennett!  Rock On!

8:23 - ACCOUNTANTS IN THE HOUSE!

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a miniseries or movie: Winner - Judy Davis, the Starter Wife.  She’s not there to accept.  Bathroom break?

8:25 - CORPORATE EXECUTIVE IN THE HOUSE!

8:31 - Outstanding made for TV movie - Winner: Wounded Knee!  It’s going to win more awards than the Sopranos.

8:35 - Joisy Bois! Er, the Jersey Boys.  Seemed like they lip-synced the first one, but recovered well. 

8:50 - Best Lead Actress in miniseries or movie: Winner - Helen Mirren.  She looks great, BTW.

GREAT RANT going on right now!

8:51 - Directing miniseries or movie (You think wounded knee or broken trail will win?) No, it’s Masterpeice Theater (better say that with a British accent!).  Now, for writing (miniseries).  Winner: Materpiece Theater.  Cool!

9:04 - Al Gore gets an Emmy for CurrentTV.  I think there might be a recount, though.

9:07 - Brad Garrett just made a great boobie joke.  Individual performance in variety or music program:  Winner - Tony Bennett!  He just thanked Target just like a NASCAR driver after he wins.

9:14 - Guest actor/actress in a comedy series - Stanley Tucci and Elaine Stritch.  Salma was robbed! 

9:15 - Directing in comedy series.  Winner - Richard Shepard, UGLY BETTY!!!  The pilot did rock BTW. 

Writing for a comedy series: Winner - Greg Daniels, The Office  I had a feeling they’d win this one.

9:19 - What the heck is Seacrest wearing? At least now we have Wayne Brady.  OK, outstanding reality competition.  This is kind of funny how they are setting this up.  OMG.  This is hilarious!  Anyway, WINNER: The Amazing Race.  The Emmy voters really love that show.  I was hoping DWTS would get it.

9:36 - Colbert and Stewart have a pretty good bit going.  Outstanding Actor in Comedy Series: Winner - Ricky Jervais.  OMG, they let Steve Carrell come onstage instead.  ;)

Lead Actress in Drama series: Sally Field!  She still looks great.  Although she just got bleeped.

9:50 - Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: America Ferrera!!!!!!  I knew it!  “Truly amazing thing that happens when your drams come true”.  Her fellow castmembers were truly excited.

9:55: Outstanding actor in a drama series.  Winner: James Spader.  Boy, did I get that one wrong.

One thing is sure, they probably won’t be doing this in the round again.  That seems to be the most frequent comment: the seating sucks.

10:05 - Outstanding Comedy Series: Winner - 30 Rock.  Shoulda been Ugly Betty. Oh, well.  30 Rock is pretty good, though.

They’re really rushing the show now, because they’re running behind.

10:10 - Outstanding Drama Series - Winner: The Sopranos. 

Well, that’s the show.  One final pic for my friend Ginger:

Tune in tomorrow for all the great after-party pics! SO long, and good night from UBN!
