I cannot believe that !Shatner! won a !second! Emmy :eek: :eek: :eek:  
And wasn’t he up against Alan Alda in best supporting category?  
I was only sort of paying attention - I know he was up 4 others of whom at least 3 are much better actors  
Either Bill’s been taking lessons, or someone finally wrote the right character for him  
And did you see his face when they announced Emmy Idol winner? I thought for sure Kristen Bell would have won - she’s a major musical theatre talent (did anyone catch the Reefer Madness Musical on Showtime last spring?)

one award that made me almost gleeful was Tony Shaloub winning best actor in a comedy  
also that the Daily Show won best writing and best variety (or whatever it’s category was) show
