Well, somebody`s got to put their 2 cents worth in on the Emmys so I my as well begin. As per the norm, the show was WAY too long. The skit with the commercial stars singing was pathetic! The tribute to Rod Serling almost put me to sleep til they had the clip from the one episode. The biggest farce of the evening was seeing Tom Selleck get Best Actor in a drama series vs. guys like Travanti & the St. Elsewhere crew. Give me a break!!!! And Jane Fonda!! Come on gang (my political memories never fade). On the bright side, I was very happy to see Tyne Daly and Bruce Weitz get awards, as well as Jane Curtain. I was surprised that John Ritter got actor in a comedy, but though the show is dumb he IS good. The fellow who did the trumpet solo (what was his name) was tremendous and I hope this really gives him some exposure. I also got a kick of seeing the Anderson family together again. I can`t believe that was Lauren Chapin! At least they didn`t give out awards for best music video! Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tommyo

For some reason, I haven't heard anything about the Emmy awards, which were on this past Sunday night. I was wondering if anybody in net.tvland could tell me which actors and shows won this great award [:-)]. Thanks a lot for your help! Jo-Ann J. hou2f!54326jj

<bug line> I don't remember all of them, but I know that Rhea Perlman from Cheers won for best supporting actress, John Laroquette (sp?) won for best supporting actor (for Night Court), Robert Guillaume (sp?) won best actor in a comedy series for Benson, and that Cosby did predictably well and Miami vice did unusually poorly. All in all, I was surprised how entertaining the show itself was. Some very good production numbers, good presenters and good acceptance speeches. Not bad, not bad at all. Hope next year's is as good. Anybody heard any updates on the guy who tried to accept Betty Thomas' award for her?

I don't remember all of them. The ones that I readily recall (and were most important to me) were Best Dramatic Series - "Cagney & Lacey" (I think the neighbors heard me whooping it up over that one), and Best Dramatic Actress - Tyne Daly (I'm glad Tyne won, but I would like to see Sharon Gless getting more credit and recognition). "Cagney & Lacey" also walked off with a number of other awards dealing with directing, writing and editing. Let's see -- Best Comedy Series went to "The Bill Cosby Show". (I must be the only person in the good ole USA that doesn't like this show.) Best Comedy Actress went to Jane Curtin. Best Comedy Actor -- the guy who plays Benson (I never could pronounce his name, let alone spell it). Betty Thomas picked up Best Supporting Actress. Beyond that, I'm drawing a blank.

Basically, the show was a real snoozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzer. The highlight was an imposter accepting Betty Thomas' supporting actress in drama award as she was coming up the stage! He was arrested & charged with attempted grand theft! Other winners were: Comdey show - Cosby Comedy Actor - Robert Guillome (sorry Bob, I know I messed your name up) " " Actress - Jane Curtain " Sup Actor - John Larroquette " Sup Actress - Rhea Perlman Drama - Actor - William Daniels Actress- Tyne Daly ( incredibly pregnant! ) Sup Actor - the sergeant/whatever on Miami Vice Sup Actress - Betty Thomas Cosby, of course, didn`t accept nominations, or "Benson" never would have won. Larroquette really surprised me, considering he was up against NAHRM, Coach and Cliffy. Curtain also surprised me. I expected Shelley Long to take it easy. The others weren`t too surprising, though since I`ve NEVER watched "Miami MTV", I know zzip about that guy. DALLAS PREMIRE FRIDAY NIGHT!!! Can`t wait to see what the WILL says. Who gets how much of Bobby`s share of EWING OIL?
