Oh thank goodness, it is finally time for the 2011 Emmy Awards! Although I know that it has only been one year since the 2010 Emmy Awards, it feels like it has been at least one million. Why not sprinkle in a couple more Emmy Awards throughout the year? Give the fancy self-congratulatory trophy party fans what they want! MORE EMMY AWARD SHOWS! But whatever, here we are on the night of our only Emmys of the year. Jane Lynch is hosting! Yay, we like her! Also, as Gabe pointed out, there are actually a number of very good things nominated! Like Friday Night Lights, and Parks & Recreation, and people from those shows, and Louis C.K., and Game of Thrones, ETC.! Maybe they’ll win? Or maybe they won’t. That’s the thing about the Emmys — no one knows who will or won’t win before the show starts. Either way, Gabe will be dishing out zingers throughout the night through the Videogum Twitter and I’ll be here dishing out comments here with the Videogum monsters. So come on and join us why don’t you? HUH? Let’s get this show on the road, Mr. Hollywood!

JESSE OMG OMG OMG KELLLYYYYY
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AARON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When did Ashton Kutcher start thinking he was being cast in the remake of “Into the Wild”?
He wishes he was Emlie Hirsch, we all do, it would be weird being attracted to ourselves though
I wish I knew how to spell Emile Hirsch
That fake Khal Drogo just made me so angry!
I miss Khal Drogo. #notmykhal
I feel like they totally could have gotten Jason Momoa for free? It was very jarring.
Why isn’t anyone talking about The Hunger Games? I’m so confused.
Wow that Entourage cameo really gave David Spade the career boost he so desperately needed.
Y’all know what I hate? Reality TV. There, I said it. Bold stance.
I have a love/hate relationship with it. I mostly hate watch it and love every second of it.
I’m beginning to put CBS comedies next to reality shows in stuff I hate the most. Who do I have to blow to get Ashton Kutcher off this TV? Because I’ll do it.
At first I was like “why is my grandmother on screen and why does she look so terrible.” but then I realized it was just a shot of Steven Tyler.
And here I thought it was a remake of The Dark Crystal.
BLAIS WAS ROBBED!
The reality TV nominations are a good time to change the kitty litter.
Wait – scratch that – PUPPIES IN HUMAN CLOTHES? Staying put.
Puppies! Jimmy Fallon for cutest puppies!
GARY FRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHOCK! AND AWE!
The last time I commented on Videogum before tonight? August 10. I need a job that is more accommodating to my commenting needs, you guys.
Hi Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver
Wyatt Cenac should give me a call sometime.
Hands off my boyfriend!
Jesus. Can the Amazing Race please stop winning this reality show award. We get it, Academy. It’s the only reality show you’re willing to admit that you watch.
I think it’s because the name “Amazing Race, The” is first in the alphabetically arranged nominees, and they just check it off and move on.
Also, that’s totally how the Emmy ballots are set up “Name, The”
Just keep this still of Christina Hendricks forever
Between her and Jon Hamm, I didn’t know where to look.
The Lonely Island just made all this worth it.
I was just going to write that and then I was all “where did everyone go??” Second page!!
Somebody turn down this bass!
Why did they William H. Macy Bill Macy?
I meant call? Also where is Felicity Huffman?
It fit syllabically. #fakerapshortcuts
Captain Jack Sparrow!!!
I’m not gonna lie, that song gets me jacked up.
Remember when Akon threw a 15 year old from a stage and his body slammed against the ground, and he was put in the hospital?
didn’t he also give one a lap dance?
Go to bed, Lea Michele.
Eat something Anna Paquin, you are too skinny
Sookie’s boobs didn’t get invited I guess
If I were directing the Lonely Island segment, I would have done whatever I had to do to get J. Lo to do her original Fly Girl thing, not publicize it and then make it the Easter egg that saved the Emmys.
You deserve all the upvotes!
what a weird looking kitchen
Fun fact: Don Roy King also directed Survivor and Criss Angel Mindfreak
I love that they keep showing Baby Hands, because that is my favorite thing in the world.

I just want to take this time to say that if you don’t watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, you are missing on of the best shows on TV. It’s totes legit.
Also, Concert Addict, I am going to need a gif on my desktop by 9 AM of Jimmy Fallon’s angry clap when The Daily Show won.
Who is that tall guy in the back of the Daily Show thing? Yum. I know you guys are reading this as you just stole a joke. Tall guy with the glasses, call me.
I’m just glad that I didn’t see Olivia Munn on that stage.
I’ve missed you, Son of Gabe. How’s school going?
Remember, these guys are back on Thursday.

Thursday morning?
Clever girl.
So much happy.
Oh look, the Academy forgot to notice that the Daily Show has become so self-aggrandizing that it forgot to be funny this year.
True Blood is a drama?
entourage is a comedy?
GRIMESSSSSSS
Excellent non-reaction from George RR Martin.
YESSSSSSS. CLEAR EYES. FULL HEARTS. ETC.
As they say, “Clear emmys, full things, can’t stop.”
Matthew Weiner is currently being led back to his seat.
He’s *really* nice. I met him many years ago when I was covering the Emmys. He let me pose with his. #truestory
Well, this was Friday Right Rights.
I am now going to pretend this is some sort of bad Crash level Asian stereotype you just commented, but I know what you mean.
Sorry, Christina Hendricks. May I console you?
Just saw Josh Charles in the audience, fingers crossed for a Sports Night sweep.
You guys remember when Timothy Olyphant was in Go and he didn’t wear a shirt for 90 minutes and then I did situps until I died?
I haven’t been able to look at Family Circus the same way again.
Remember when No Doubt’s “New” was in Go and I couldn’t stop listening to it? No? Oh right, I didn’t know you in 1999. But that was a thing.
Yes, I loved that song! Go Forever!
Ron Howard looks terrible.
I love Paul McCrane, let’s go watch his arm get chopped off on youtube!
LOLing at every nomination for The Killing.
Best director? Really? Maybe biggest glasses
Martin Scorsese, one step closer to that EGOT.
He still doesn’t have Lowest Rated Comment, so he’s got a ways to go.
Why did he thank Mark Wahlberg? He was on Entourage like 8 years ago
and he thanked Ari Emmanuel, the basis for Ari Gold, he really loves Entourage
Mark Wahlberg executive produces everything at HBO.
I love it when I remember that that actress who was the evil goddess lady Jasmine from Angel is Sam Jackson’s girlfriend.
Lack of adequate rehearsal time for The Lonely Island! And yet I will still rewind and watch several times, especially to see Will Arnett laughing his ass off!
PETER DINKLAGE!
Wee!
He thanked his dogsitter! Crush, justified!!!!!!!!!
That was my porn name in the 70s
Crush Justified?
I have never watched the emmys before. I always knew why. But now i know why
Height adjustable microphone really shines tonight.
Yay, Tyrian Lannister, I love you!
Game of Thrones is a show I’ll never watch, but I’ll always admit it’s good.
I seriously don’t believe this Footloose movie is a real thing, no matter how many ads they air.
Or how many sunday shoes they kick off
It’s too late to stop it from being made, but as a country, we have to take a real hard look in the mirror if we actually let this atrocity open.
Hairdon’t
That’s literally what I look like when I go running except that’s not what I look like at all.
Hi all. Just going to go ahead leave this here:
What do you think about what happened to her in Drive?
Seeing it tomorrow. No spoilers.
Goddammit she’s hot.
Spanx joke number 2!!
Still no Smang jokes.
Bryan Cranston is my patronus
If John Slattery ever left Mad Men, they could replace him with Anderson Cooper and no one would notice.
I think Anderson Cooper is already on every show and has no time for that, but he’d still do it
It would be funny if John Slattery guest hosted Anderson Cooper for an episode or just 15 minutes or the like.
Oh, the wine is kicking in…
No way bitch is better than Elizabeth Moss. No. Way.
In-house Donna Darko!
On a scale of 1 to Scientology?
Really? Better than Elizabeth Moss in this past season of Mad Men? Really?
Are you guys sitting on different couches with laptops or side to side?
WHAT IS THAT DRESS, JULIANNA.
Looks like she Bedazzled crystal balls all over herself!
It HAS TO BE something made in a Project Runway eco-challenge where you have to reuse SOLO cups and get $20 credit at Michael’s. And Al Gore is the judge. And this isn’t the dress that won.
Okay im late to the party but we are all going to gang up on the clever announcer directly affter the show right?
Is that John Hodgman or the Fox version of John Hodgman?
My roommate and I just spent a solid minute comparing Juliana Marguiles’s dress to an upside down lampshade. At a disco club. Or possibly from the set of The Playboy Club.
That one old woman who watches The Good Wife must be really happy right now.
Just talked to my mom. She is.
Say hi to your mother for me.
I don’t think she should have won, but I (not so) secretly love the Good Wife. It’s somehow filling the L&O void in my sad life.
the Good Wife is a good guilty pleasure, but she stole this award from Elizabeth Moss and Connie Britton.
Katie Holmes is a Stepford Wife and her dress looks like a racerback swimsuit that she’s wearing backwards.
Come on oliphant. Come on
Thank God the torch has been officially passed for Charlies Angels, thereby securing one our nations greatest institutions.
the sacred duty continues.
If I’m to understand the presenters:GARBLING CLAMDNER! just won the Emmy.
COACH FTW!
I wasn’t even nominated
COACH TAYLOR! You guys, Coach Taylor!
YES! CORRECT!
NOW DIE SNARKY EMMY ANNOUNCER. DIE IN A FIRE.
who was that guy? he was terrible.
Things happened for FNL, finally! Can’t wait for the new season.
Wait, what’s that you say? FFFFUUUUUU
why does the emmy orchestra not know which songs to play for the winners?
Kyle Chandler’s jacket is too big. He needs to coach is tailor! Get it. Like his character’s name.
*His. Wasn’t trying to affect a Cockney Accent there.
Allo Guvna! Eah to see thuh East Dillon Lyyons? Brilliant!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If only Kyle Chandler had checked the Early Edition he might have prepared a speech for this evening’s ceremony.
LL Cool down, LL Cool J.
I will most definitely not be calling that a come back
Said all of twitter i assume
I upvoted you.
[Side note: There are people out there who don’t know that LL Cool J was once primarily a rapper, right, probably? Even though his name is LL Cool J? #iamanoldperson
ugh, close bracket]
A lot of people are curious why I’m a lesbian, ladies and gentleman the cast of Entourage is just perfect
Why do E and Turtle have glasses on?
Same reason Zoey Deschanel does in her new show. So they stop getting eye-raped by Jeremy Piven.
Sherlock! Luther! Are miniserieses?
I just started watching both of those this weekend on Netflix streaming….sooooo good!!!
they are very good shows. I wish they’d make more of them. C’mon Sherlock: three episodes?
Is that really all there are??? I was just telling my husband how shitty Netflix was for teasing me with only 3–but so, yeah, that’s like, a thing, then, with British TV shows, innit? ‘Ittin the nail on the ‘ead, then leavin me wantin for more, guvnah!
They are making more Sherlock!
Holy toledo, I hope Sherlock wins!
Oh man, Steven Moffat is actually there! WHAT!
The Entourage crew must have been confused by Larry David’s advice about glasses getting you ahead in life.
I think I fucking just saw Frenchy from Rock of Love in the audience?
THIS BITCH:

Are you sure it wasn’t Lindsay Lohan or Donatella Versace?
She seems nice
“These men are why I’m a lesbian” best joke of the night.
I have learned from an inside source that that joke was written by Dana Gould.
it’s cute that the entourage douchebags think that PBS produced those BBC shows.
I think the guy who writes Downtown Abbey might be a lorry
Fun fact: my British parents HATE Downton Abbey. I have still yet to judge for my WASPy self.
Too bad Maggie Smith doesn’t know what a weekend is and missed the award for her show!!!!!
And her own award apparently?!
Maggie Smith has better things to do than sit through this dreck.
The key to the best actress in a miniseries: Bad period haircuts.
Or non-existent periods for the pat 4 decades.
There are not enough thumbs up in the world for me to express my feelings about your comment.
Ummm, I realize that we are America, but her name is DAME Maggie Smith Thankyouverymuch
The Emmy’s answering the musical question: What would Marron 5′s “Moves Like Jagger” sound like on a piccolo.
Hahaha, you know the title of that Maroon 5 song.
Hey guys what do accountants look like? Im asking for a friend
Who was that guy in the beret?
And sitting in the seat with the dimples? Seriously… who is that? I need to Google stalk him.
Jane Lynch is 73 feet tall.
hot damn, there are some fancy directors directing miniserieses.
fuckyeahdowntonabbey.tumblr.com
Did they just say Down Nabby?
