This is why I dont watch acting award shows. The people who deserve it never win.
Kristen Chenoweth should have won supporting actress, and the guy from Lost should have won supportin actor.
Emmy’s suck.
this is why i stopped watching the emmy’s. house is the best drama on t.v. i love 30 rock but the office is better. no awards for heroes, prison break, or chuck. quality of shows should be at least half way a reflection of ratings. nobody has seen half these shows and there are some that no one has heard of. this is why the emmys cant beat sunday night football in ratings.
No I do not agree with Jeff winning.
I wish Mariska Hargitay would’ve won for outstanding lead actress in a drama series because she is an amazing actress in Law and Order: SVU, I don’t care what anyone says!!!!!!!
I’m gonna say.
U go peoples. That won
Mmmmmmm. Yerrrrrrrrr
Yaaay
Congratulations to everyone that won and were nominated…
but that was the most boring show i have ever seen in my whole life.
HOUSE not winning? Emmy’s are rigged. That show is brilliant.
seriously.. glenn close? mariska hargitay should have won best actress. and as for the rest, who the hell does the voting? there are so many talented actors and actresses who should have won instead of this group.
emmys are crap.
And Brothers and Sisters???????
emmy is cool
Hey guys!

Everything just at a height! Highly recommended!
erm, where’s Weeds in all of this??? WTF?
Brian Cranston is the amazing actor who portrayed the father figure Hal on Malcolm in the Middle for 7 years. And after four nominations in the comedic category, he never won an Emmy for his outstanding portrayal of a spastic dad. The fact that his talent was recognized in Drama instead of Comedy is a little ironic to say the least, but his portrayal in Breaking Bad was well deserving of it.
Where the heck are Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives?
Great that Bryan Cranston won! Flight of the Conchords should have won at least one category as well though.
i wish Michael C Hall would have won for Dexter….such an awesome show!!!!
THE OFFICE!!!!
HELLO!!!!! The Office is the funniest show on TV. 30 Rock is corny and not funny, just like the current Saturday Night Live. But, I guess not everyone is intelligent enough to get The Office.
The Primetime Emmy Awards 2008 was Tina Fey’s night! She totally deserved the 3 Emmys she won last night! She is just the best and, please people, watch “30 Rock”.
i think House should have won outstanding drama series!!!!!!!n everythn else it was nominated in !!!
#26 I totally agree with you Kristen and Michael should have won.He is fantastic on Lost .This year the emmys were real boring ,i don’t even watch many of the shows that won.It’s a shame.I believe people who vote don’t watch many tv or at least don’t get informed on what people like.The only fun was with Steve Carell and Ricky G as well as Don Rickles!
YAY 30 ROCK WON!
I love Tina Fey.
HATERS TO LEFT, PLZ.
Nothing for Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen!!! BRUTAL!!
i’m sooo happy Mad Men won - the show is AMAZING!
The Emmy’s are fake.
LOST should have won each year. but specially this.
and Only one person of that cast beeing nominated proofs enough.
