The Emmy Moments That Got Us To Pick up Our Cell Phones and Text Someone

Cell phones, Twitter, and even ESP must have been busy last night for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. I’ve selected three favorite things about the show, and provided lots of goodies – so don’t stray too far!

1) When Kristin Chenoweth won her Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy (Pushing Daisies - RIP!) she began thanking people only to mention, “I’m unemployed now, so I’d like to be on Mad Men,” she said. “I also like The Office and 24.” Us too, Kristin! And we’ve love to see her on any of those, especially The Office.  Watching her cry during her acceptance speech actually makes ME a little teary. Oh, man!

2) The red dresses! From Hayden Panettiere to Blake Lively, starlets wore red gowns that were drop dead gorgeous. That’s why you have to watch the pre-show to start oogling the fashion right away. Pick up one of those free Sprint phones and get texting!

3. Dr Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hijacking the awards! He called us couch monkeys! As he sings, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) stands up for TV. And then we saw Felicia Day!

4. Joss Whedon won an Emmy. This? This makes me cry happy tears. “Thank you, we are honored to accept the award for most incomprehensible category,” he joked. Another small gem quote in his short speech: “The greatest expression of rebellion is joy.”
