1) Who the hell was in charge of cutting people off. You let Pacino go on as long as he wants... and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that, he's a great actor and all... but then the big winners of the night, Best Comedy Arrested Development and Best Drama Sopranos get just plain cut off. Nobody's going to get upset because the broadcast ended 5 minutes late rather than 3 minutes late. Let the big winners have their say, it just makes you look either rude or amateurish to cut them off.
2) What the hell was Edie Falco thinking? She just looked bad.
3) Elaine Stritch, a person that probably 97 people in a hundred have never heard of, was the best of the night.
4) The two real people came in second.
5) I wasn't too impressed by the presentation overall. Didn't think the monologue and skits were all that good. Not bad, but not good. Overall it was kinda boring.
6) The problem with the Emmy's is twofold.
b) So many of the nominees are from shows where the average joe just plain doesn't have the channel. Every time you turn around somebody on HBO or another pay network is being nominated. It's like having half the Oscar nominees be films that only played in New York and LA.
