Nu på söndag är det dags för den 59e Emmy galan att äga rum och även om jag inte direkt studsar omkring av spänning så är det ändå lite kul att se vilka som vinner. I lördags delades “Arts & Sciences” priserna ut där bland annat South Park avsnittet Make Love, Not Warcraft vann “Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)” och slog bland annat Robot Chicken och The Simpsons. Fler vinnare värda att nämna är Rome som vann priset för “Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-camera Series” och dom slog därmed bland annat The Tudors och Deadwood, Ugly Betty som vann priset för “Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series” och slog bland annat Weeds, 30 Rock och Entourage, Dexter som vann “Outstanding Main Title Design” samt Saturday Night Live som med “Dick in a Box” vann “Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics”. Ni kan se alla vinnarna här.
