I love anything that John Hodgman does, even when it’s sort of blah like his award show intros. This isn’t the first award show he’s done, is it? I swear I remember him doing this before. ---

But how common can it be if I watched five seasons of _The Wire_ and never saw this? 😉 Hodgman’s commentary – the sound on my TV isn’t that great. What with the music and the applause, I couldn’t hear most of what he said. ---

What with the music and the applause, I couldn’t hear most of what he said. It wasn’t just you. I couldn’t hear him very well either. Whoever was running the sound must be deaf in one ear. ---

I know I’m way late to the party but a friend just posted a link on Facebook to the opening number (Fallon & the Glee kids et al), which I had not seen. It was supremely awesome. Jon Hamm cracks me up. ---

Both of them are beautiful. Both should have picked something else to wear that night. But to say Jones wasn’t going to go anywhere near Hendricks sounded crazy. I know everyone hates “Betty” but January Jones is hot. And with all the hate for “Betty” maybe people could give Jones a little more props for her acting. It’s probably one of the most difficult parts to play on the show. Same for the actors who play “Pete” and “Duck”. And one more thing about beautiful women, I saw Elizebeth Moss is in a skin or hair care ad. She is looking really good in the ad. ---

No _Mad Men_ actor has yet to take home an award, but after last Sunday’s fantastic episode, I’m hoping that might finally change. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2010-emmy-awards/551038.md?page=3)
