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!

Update: The UK is laughing at us. AGAIN.
OMG. There is still 47 minutes left. I don’t know if I can make it.
Keep it up! Hang in there! Get in the game! Coach platitudes!
Clear eyes, full hearts, fourth meal
Taco Bell?
Also, you’re not accounting for overage time.
Oh fuck. This award show needs more Jon Hamm close ups.
Bryan Percival??? Aren’t those Dumbledore’s middle names????
Is this Il Divo? What is this?
Wait, this guy isn’t Penn Badgley!
Stephen Merchant is the chairman of the Emmys??
“I know, let’s sing Hallelujah for the In Memoriam at The Emmy’s just to keep it original!”
I love this song. That being said, it never ever ever needs to be performed ever again by anyone
And really guys, a fog machine?? Do we reallly need that? Are we the Emmys, or Phantom of the Opera?
WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON WITH THIS IN MEMORIAM
RYAN DUNN.
Shhhhhhh……In Memoriam time!
Remember when this song was playing as Marissa Cooper died?
Am I remembering this wrong or didn’t Marissa die in a car crash that involved a VAN?
NEVER FORGET.
Leslie Nielsen died???
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
no more hallelujah, please. just no more.
This song is The OC scissoring Watchmen.
Dont call it that.
Waka waka
Guys, at Zombie award shows do they even do a memorium?
Old Tom, Really Old Tom, Dead Tom
Old Tom’s a-cold
I found myself watching muppet treasure island twice this week
It’s been great having all my internet friends commenting on Videogum like in the old days. We should do this again some time.
Agreed. Let’s do it in 10 years time at 9:30. But let’s make it our beeswax to be here at 9.

I know! There are so many comments!
Awww, I love you guys!
Agreed. I need to go to bed, but this sure is fun!
Does this mean you’ll start commenting again?
It’s tough a work
at work, rather
No spares?
Did you guys see me?
I feel like I’m at Billy Graham crusade right now. So many upward key modulations!!
Add me to next year’s memorial, please. “Here lies MsQuinn, who died laughing at the 2011 Emmy In Memorium Song.” Hoooo boy.

Claire Danes must be SO MISSED that she can’t win any more awards for Temple Grandin.
Apple autocorrect, ladies and gentlemen. Keeping the Videogum comments PG.
OMG! Hugh Lorry!
Im fudding myself stupid and im bloody loving it
In a nun’s habit!! Yes!!!
I super love Kate Winslet’s fab dress. And she’s pretty awesome too.
YES! Love.
Kate is great! Finally watched Heavenly Creatures.
Kate Winslet, sorry about Revolution Road. Whoops.
No no no, that movie owes US the apology
That movie proved Chekov right: the abortion tubing in the first act always goes off in the third act.
Are you sorry for her or for her vagina?
Holy shit! What happens in that movie?! I never saw it.
Bathroom abortions!
Can we switch lives?
Clare Danes needs an Old Country Buffet. She’s looking like my scary anorexic college roommate.
I’m sorry, but nobody needs an Old Country Buffet.
No, but she’s so very thin… I couldn’t think of any other trough of empty calories in such a short period of time.
Is the pillars of the earth worth watching?
@babyfriday loved the book
Save it for bookgum, friend. Jk lol
The book is in my Top 10 of all time…not so with the miniseries, but it’s still definitely worth a watch. I think they did it justice, while of course in no way comparing to the greatness of the book, but serving to illustrate why the book is just so damn good. (Not sure if that makes much sense, but yeah, I liked it ok).
Eddie Redmayne is worth watching, he is even mute for a long time!
I tried to watch it and couldn’t finish. Maybe because I read the book and knew where it was going? Or maybe because it was zzzz.
FUCK YES!
Congrats, Mad Men you deserved it!
When is Mad Men coming back?! I need more DRAPER!
Mine. The blade is out my friend.
Ok, I let you have him, but only b/c Ryan Gosling is my one true love.
It’s a deal. Also I seem to have been the only one who noticed that eye roll when his public girlfriend kissed him. He remembers me!!! He’s waiting!
Sally Draper for the cutest ever.
Did they let recently-fired Bobby Draper come to the awards ceremony?
Peter Dinklage shouldn’t have taken that role as Matthew Weiner.
Fabio is in Mad Men??
OMG Gwyneth when we return!!!!
It’s hard to feel bad about Mad Men winning, but I do feel bad about it. I thought that FNL might have had it.
Everyone is lucky that breaking bad isnt in the running this year
I can’t wait until next year when it is nominated and wins all the awards
THEY ARE GIVING THE AWARDS IN THE WRONG ORDER. HAVE THEY NOT SEEN AN AWARDS SHOW BEFORE?
Mad Men won? Oh great, I have to go back to my advertising job tomorrow, unaffected.
Did Warrick Dunn design Gwyneth’s dress?
Did anyone else’s TV just burst into flames?
And the winner for Best Comedic Performance goes to…Gwyneth Paltrow’s dress!!!
That is just not a very good dress, Gwyneth.
I was thinking how modern family made me more tolerant
It helps that the moral of the story is told directly into the camera at the end of each episode
OMG! IT ENDED ONE MINUTE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand now, this is the only way we could have seen anyone from Community at the Emmys.
I always forget about Modern Family so I don’t watch it regularly, but any time I tune it in I always laugh out loud.
What a night, guys, I can’t even believe it’s over time fly holy moly.
Now to see who won the Gummies
Um, if you’re on the West Coast… THE PUPPET EPISODE OF HOARDERS IS ON.
BREAKING BAD TIME. BYE. LOVE YOU ALL. GOOD TIMES.
I do mean to nitpick Emmy opening number continuity, but Landry, Vince, and Saracen were never on the same team together. C’mon Emmys, you call yourselves professional. Act like it.
