The Smell of Failure Is Stinking Up My Office

Here’s your 2010 Emmy Open Thread, where you can drink and chat among yourselves. The drinking game: Take one drink every time Jimmy Fallon makes you laugh. Go home sober.

To prepare you for the ceremony, here are the major nominees. My hopefuls are in bold, not that you give a shit about who I’m hoping to win. I’d love to see “Breaking Bad,” do well, but I wouldn’t be upset to see “Mad Men,” take the night. “Glee” on the other hand …

Community wasn't nominated for comedies? And what the hell is Modern Family?

Posted by: Lucas at August 29, 2010 6:46 PM

It hurts me that Community and Treme got no nominations.

Posted by: A-schaef at August 29, 2010 6:54 PM

So...this is on tonight?

Huh.

Posted by: Jerce at August 29, 2010 7:06 PM

No Sons of Anarchy, no care.

Posted by: Snrub at August 29, 2010 7:16 PM

Did they somehow split the vote on Best Supporting Actor / Actress nominees for Community? Because every damn one of them could be winning Emmys.
Even Starburns deserves the nomination more than Jon Cryer.

Jon Hamm cannot dance.

In my mind, Don Draper can.

what a great intro!

Posted by: mossbum at August 29, 2010 8:14 PM

No surprise that I see almost none of those shows. Besides The Daily Show, Colbert Report and Burn Notice, I don't think I've seen more than an episode (if at that) of any of the nominees.

And I'm only interested in catching up with Breaking Bad. You can keep the rest.

Appalling.

Community and Parks and Recreation were amazing this season. Easily better than Glee, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie, 30 Rock , and The Office.

Posted by: Dr. Mario at August 29, 2010 8:56 PM

I wish only Jane Lynch had won for Glee. Imagine how good that show would be without Ryan Murphy.

Posted by: A-schaef at August 29, 2010 9:20 PM

As I observed when I first read this year's nominations:
No John Noble.
Emmy fail.
AGAIN.

Posted by: Jerce at August 29, 2010 9:23 PM

Never thought I'd say this, but Jimmy Fallon is pretty hilarious tonight.

Posted by: figgy at August 29, 2010 9:28 PM

Then again, Figgy was drunk before she started watching.

Seriously???? Pleanty of time and opportunity since the award was given and nothing? Not a single "Bucky Gunts" comment? Whorish Mouth and I were sitting here. I snarfed slurpy...blue rasberry to be exact. She farted in time with her chuckles. Tacos is you're curious. But no...I come here looking for wit and commentary and nothing.

You're all nothing more than a bunch of Bucky Gunts!

Whyyyyyyyyyy so many people are interested in an interracial relationship. black woman want to have fun with white man and black guys want to have fun with white women. There are many sites focusing on this kind of relationships such as ____Mixed friends.c o m____ recommend it here

Posted by: blucee at August 29, 2010 10:20 PM

They actually have an award for best reality show host?

Seriously? Is it talent a requirement, or even on the wish list for candidates for that "job?"

All of those hacks look like they could suck a bowling ball through a frozen garden hose, which is the "talent" that got them those gigs.

Posted by: mechadave at August 29, 2010 10:31 PM

I want to name my next child Bucky Temple Gunts.

Posted by: figgy at August 29, 2010 10:32 PM

Gotta love JL...

Posted by: general rhubarb at August 30, 2010 12:32 AM

Wow, only eighteen comments.

This year's Emmys had a special fail this year. How could The Colbert Report lose after Stephen went to fucking Iraq? Then again, what does it say about the predictability of these shows when the host of The Daily Show couldn't be bothered to show up for their annual award? Seriously, it's been eight years in a row.

I am so happy I chose sleep and a subsequent hot dream about Sharlto Copley.

Posted by: Aislinn at August 30, 2010 3:23 AM

I never watch awards shows, but I just watched a video of Ricky Gervais presenting the award for Best Directing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special.

And today, Wir sind alle Bucky Gunts.

I was too thinking for something same as breaking bad is the only show to win 6 Emmy Awards.
