'I'm Fucking Matt Damon' Doubly Honored, And Other Creative Arts Emmy News [Emmys]
The Emmys, Oscar's Paste-Eating Cousin™, will broadcast live on ABC this Sunday, presided over by a Frankenhost monster conceived in a test tube by devious tinkerers from the science wing of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The Creative Arts portion of the awards, however, were held Saturday at the Nokia Theater. It was an evening for some of the year's more specialized TV achievements—from those of Matt Damon-fornicating singer-songwriter Sarah Silverman to the hairdo Michelangelos of Mad Men, spinning beehives into gold—to receive their due. Kathy Griffin took best reality program for her second year in a row, this time eschewing acceptance speeches commanding the Prince of Peace to "suck it" in favor of less blasphemous shows of appreciation. From Gold Derby:

"No way!" she gasped in her seat when she heard her name called as winner. Upon arriving at the podium, she gasped, "Well, well, well! Here we go again, f—ers. Here we go again!" Looking around the auditorium, she acknowledged some celebs in the audience, adding, "Hanks, Gandolfini — what the f—! I'm not going to tell anyone to suck it. I would make love to this thing if I could."

The evening's other winners included best guest actor Tim Conway for the sweet, old (perverted, racist) writer, wandering, Studio 60-style, around the 30 Rock halls, and best guest actress Cynthia Nixon, for her character with multiple-personality-disorder on SVU. (All of the personalities were up for the same award.) HBO's John Adams took eight trophies—the evening's most—while Mad Men won the most series awards with four, including best cinematography. Silverman's "I'm ing Matt Damon," meanwhile, took two: best music and lyrics, and best editing of clip packages, for which it tied with American Idol. She dedicated the award to the man who "broke her heart – who'll always have a place in my heart." Variety has the full list of winners.
