I’m kinda-sorta live blogging the Emmy’s tonight, I’m posting the winners, plus adding some of my random thoughts. Videos and a full list of Emmy winners are after the jump.

The five hosts, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest take the stage after OPRAH! introduces them. So the shtick is that everyone is talking over each other, supposedly without a script.   You know, because they don’t use writers or scripts on reality shows. HA. That opening bit was lame.

The Amazing Race shuts out American Idol once again for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program.   The Amazing Race again? Yawn. Best moment: Presenter Don Rickles totally ignores the teleprompter and goes off script. Don Rickles–still funny.

Jeff Probst for Survivor wins Host for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. I suppose the Emmy voters figure Jeff Probst’s job is harder than the others, because he’s out in the middle of nowhere starving or whatever.   But not really.   Better luck next year, Ryan!

The Reality show nominees as Emmy hosts, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest, didn’t really have much to do. Their hosting work tonight didn’t add much, wasn’t funny, and not nearly as challenging as their day jobs.

The Miniseries, John Adams, cleaned up tonight, winning 5 Emmys–Outstanding Miniseries, Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie, Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actor.

Tina Fey’s 30 Rock won 4 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor.
