The 60th Annual Emmy Coverage As It Happens

Oprah Winfrey opens the show and introduces the hosts for the night Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) , Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Tom Bergeron (Dancing With The Stars) and Jeff Probst (Survivor).  All five of them including Heidi are dressed in black suits and white shirts.  Then William Shatner & Jeff Probst pulled of her suit and under she is in black sequin hot-pants.

The winner for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series is Jeremy Piven - Entourage.  Jeremy kinda says the opening pretty much sucked. The crowd seemed to agree!

Julia Louis Dreyfus presented the award for Supporting Actress in A Comedy Series is Jean Smart for Samantha Who? This is the third Emmy win for her.  The Desperate Housewives are giving the award for supporting actor.  Felicity Huffman says "At Desperate Housewives we are a family" and Eva Longoria comments "God, you can act" lol…it was pretty funny and seemed to be honest.

The Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Drama Series is Zeljko Ivanek for Damages this is his first Emmy.

Not sure about Ricky Gervais WTF -  I think that they think it is funny there is a whole skit and clips of past winners who had short acceptance speeches.  Trying to encourage people to not speak to long.  They could have cut this skit out ughhhhh…

Conan O’Brien says he use to write dialog for Bart Simpson.  He is presenting the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series is Dianne Wiest for In Treatment - Dianne did not show up for the Award show. Conan accepted it and commented "I will accept the award on her behalf and give it to Steve Carell".

Oh my Gosh Howie Mandel and Jeff Probst look so uncomforable.  They look very awkward.  They are presenting the accounts with the "Deal or No Deal Girls"  I am sure they thought going with 5 hosts would work but as this point it really is not.

Steven Martin is presenting an award to Tommy Smothers he use to work with him.  First question is why doesn’t Steve Martin age? So far he has been the best part of this show.  In honor of the 60th Annual Emmy Awards  Tommy Smothers was given an award not sure I missed it.  Anyway Tommy started to get political - they let him talk he is lucky they did not cut him off.

A special Emmy performance by Josh Grobin.  Josh sings 30 theme songs from television shows.
