Five Hosts? And One of Them Was Tom Bergeron? What?

Well, at least Mad Men & 30 Rock won the big catagories last night, which is awesome because they are the two best in their catagories. I know people love The Office, as do I, but 30 Rock is the best written comedy on television, and when you add that to Alec Baldwin you get a big old pot of genious. As for drama - the only show I would have been comfortable seeing beat Mad Men wasn't nominated, so I'm happy with that outcome. Although if Emmy could get around to rewarding the fucking brilliance that is Battlestar Galactica, I wouldn't want to throw bombs at their offices on Wilshire.

I actually missed much (most) of the show, as the Yankees were playing their last game at the old stadium and it was quite the spectacular (Sorry - Yogi Beara and Tino Martinez vs. Best Directing for a Comedy is no contest.)

I've got the list of winners after the jump, but from the pieces I saw live I have the following questions that I'm sure Monkey See, Monkey Doo Doo and Gleek can answer. (They don't watch the Yankees. Unless Derek Jeter is on Daily Show or something.)

1. They didn't have time to let people speak, but they had time for a five minute bit about reality TV Hosts?

2. Don Rickles: discuss

3. How did Bryan Cranston happen? Was it vote splitting? A Nader like situation? Do you think enough Emmy voters even saw Breaking Bad?

4. The Josh Groban singing TV theme songs - please tell me it was done ironically. Cause that sounds like comedy gold.

5. Tina Fey for Writing & Best Show - YES. Tina Fey for acting? Hmm.

6. MVP of the Night (also called "The Hosts Suck Award"): Ricky Gervais or Don Rickles?

7. How HOT was Tina Fey last night? My goodness - someone's stylist needs their own Emmy.
