The 2006 Emmy Awards

Emmy I actually didn’t watch the Emmy’s this year so this morning when I came in to work, I wanted to see if my favorite shows had won.

First I went to CNN.com. After a quick scan across the page, I find an Emmy article. Score. I click the link and get this: a way-too-long narrative about the Emmy’s. That’s no good. I don’t have the patience to read through all of that. Then I tried Gothamist. It seems they have a liveblog. That’s even longer. I’m definitely not that interested.

Exasperated after 3 minutes of quick clicking and scanning, I went to my old pal Google: “list 2006 emmy winners.” What the hell. All I see are narratives and the Creative Emmy’s lists. Come on.

With nowhere else to turn, I checked Wikipedia. It took about 3 clicks, but I finally found the damn list. To save you all this trouble, the full list is available after the jump.

Now here are my two cents on the 2006 Emmy’s:

I’m sad I missed Conan’s monologue. I’m also sad I missed Tim Gunn’s pre-show runway segments. I’m going to have to Youtube that later.
I wish you had won: Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs, Project Runway, and either Sandra Oh or Chandra Wilson for Best Supporting Actress.
I’m glad you did win: High School Musical, Keifer Sutherland, Jeremy Piven, and Megan Mullaly.

Another thing you have to YouTube is Jeremy Piven’s red carpet smackdown of that asinine reporter!

I agree with you about Grey’s Anatomy: that show is very good and deserved some kind of award. Both Oh and Wilson are awesome and are by far my favorite characters on there.

It was so cool to see Kiefer Sutherland finally get some recognition for his work as Jack Bauer and for the entire show to get the best drama award. Also nice to see killed off regulars at the Emmys, like Edgar, Tony, etc.
