Maggie Smith wins the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 1:18:10 AM
YEAH!! Homeland.. maybe Damien will win...

by Jenn 9/24/2012 1:18:14 AM
Maggie Smith wins for Downton. My $ was on Christina Hendricks, who would have broken the MadMen actor curse.

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 1:18:29 AM
Hmmmm. I love Maggie Smith as much as anyone, but she's just the go-to exclamation point on that show.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:19:06 AM
I'm thinking the Tracy Morgan joke is gonna need to pay off after these commercials or it's just super awkward...

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:19:42 AM
The Good Wife makes me angry. Just not good enough

by ppage 9/24/2012 1:20:33 AM
Btw, I'd argue that "Homeland" had great plotting, but Breaking Bad and Mad Men had great writing. So they were robbed.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:20:34 AM
Game of Thrones!!! Just want to say that

by ppage 9/24/2012 1:20:42 AM
One of ABC's greatest regrets will be putting Neighbors on Wednesday. Because it's truly, truly awful.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:22:02 AM
When we get back from commercial, the next award: Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series.

@BastardMachine and when Maggie Smith was too British to show up, that's just rubbing salt in the wound #christinahendricks

by slam254 via twitter 9/24/2012 1:23:39 AM
Giancarlo Esposito is one reason to keep watching "Revolution."

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:23:42 AM
Oh, Lord, Jeremy Davies. What the hell are you doing?

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:25:07 AM
Tim van Patten, Boardwalk Empire, wins the Emmy for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 1:25:17 AM
JUSTIFIED!! Albeit Jeremy Davies not Tim Olyphant

by Doug Burton 9/24/2012 1:25:22 AM
Wait, I get that Maggie Smith couldn't be there, but Tim Van Patten?

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:26:00 AM
Howard/Alex's writing win was Showtime's first in the category. A very big deal, and all of Showtime's execs got their shout-outs.

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 1:26:33 AM
Gotta love Kimmel for trying to do a joke about the In Memoriam segment.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:26:43 AM
Josh Grobin walks off the stage, resumes poking his Michael Strahan voodoo doll. #Emmys

by mikeylikestv via twitter 9/24/2012 1:27:33 AM
Wow, Julianna Margulies turned into a peacock. That is awesome.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:28:05 AM
Damien Lewis (Homeland) wins the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 1:28:35 AM
And I'd like to apologize to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.

by ppage 9/24/2012 1:28:42 AM
Oh yo these #Emmys just got Homeland'd!

by mikeylikestv via twitter 9/24/2012 1:28:43 AM
Wow, love the Damian Lewis victory.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:29:05 AM
Whoa, Damien Lewis!! Will Jon Hamm ever catch a break?

by ppage 9/24/2012 1:29:17 AM
Wooowwww, Damian Lewis wins for Homeland. HUGE! (Sadly, MadMen actor curse continues...)

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 1:29:41 AM
Look, that category was tremendous all the way through. Lewis deserved it, just like the others.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:29:54 AM
One year in the future, the Brits will win every single category of the Emmys.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:30:35 AM
I love how all of these tablet commercials are acting like they've just invented the iPad. It's so cute.

Emmys 2012: Jon Cryer on First Lead Actor Win: 'I'm as Shocked as You People' bit.ly

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 1:32:02 AM
RT @SHO_PR: This marks Damian Lewis' first Emmy win, and the first-ever lead actor win (comedy or drama) for SHOWTIME.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:33:14 AM
Can they take back Tom Bergeron's Emmy and give it to Jon Hamm?

by Doug Burton 9/24/2012 1:33:57 AM
Damien is hotter when he speaks with British accent....

by Jenn 9/24/2012 1:33:59 AM
Well, if Cranston wasn't going to win, Lewis is the least egregious choice. He was great, but Cranston was better.

by John 9/24/2012 1:34:01 AM
Josh Groban was pretty good in that bit..

by Jenn 9/24/2012 1:34:08 AM
yeah Damien!!.. he is awesome.. cannot wait until start of Season 2

by Jenn 9/24/2012 1:34:12 AM
Are the folks in the audience even watching this show? Everybody has to exit stage left and they are all going stage right!?!

by Barbara 9/24/2012 1:34:15 AM
I think it's important for those people saying Homeland victories mean more coming up that, um, this is the Emmys. There is no logic.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:34:15 AM
Damian Lewis. This is amazing. (Watch NBC's "Life." You won't be disappointed.) #Homeland #Emmys

by insidethetube via twitter 9/24/2012 1:34:18 AM
Up next: the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 1:35:27 AM
I know you're not paying attention, but that Honda Accord commercial was really weird in a good way.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:36:04 AM
I heart Jon Hamm. Seriously. And Tina Fey is already in the Hall of Fame.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:37:32 AM
Claire Danes wins this hands down.
