And I agree-- I hope the Hollywood epi was submitted. I think that's the kind of drama that makes Emmy voters such suckers for TAR. And come to think of it, why doesn't AI interweave more behind the scenes stuff on the regular show post-top 24? Editing in some of the contestants preparations, song-selection dramas and interactions backstage, or heck, even any of the ai.com footage we see would make for a much more interesting show. That would justify an hour-long results show, and I'd take that over a new judge.

And I agree– I hope the Hollywood epi was submitted. I think that’s the kind of drama that makes Emmy voters such suckers for TAR. And come to think of it, why doesn’t AI interweave more behind the scenes stuff on the regular show post-top 24? Editing in some of the contestants preparations, song-selection dramas and interactions backstage, or heck, even any of the ai.com footage we see would make for a much more interesting show.

Ryan definitely deserves the host Emmy, he's got to have one of the toughest hosting jobs ever. Riding herd over all that madness live? Give the man a freaking Emmy. It's great that David's homecoming won. It was a great clip and really well edited. My favorite part, editing wise, is the transition between the Bon Jovi version of "Living on a Prayer" that's playing the the background the entire clip to David's acoustic performance of it in front of his hometown audience. Just a really clever piece of editing there. ("I'm F*cking Matt Damon" deserved the tie though.) I’d like to see PR win too, but isn’t it always, always Amazing Race?

There were some serious production issues this year, with the overly long results shows, and the Neil Diamond night fiasco. Even if Paula hadn't wandered off the reservation, Neil Diamond night still would have been a mess, because it was too rushed. Some serious sound engineering issues, as well. I'd like to see Project Runway win, personally. I don’t know. There were some serious production issues this year, with the overly long results shows, and the Neil Diamond night fiasco.

I hope AI wins too, because it was such great TV this year (and TAR is overrated and way past its prime)... but I fear it won't happen, because of the scandal and conspiracy theories on voter manipulation, etc. following Paula's gaffe. Add to that all the media coverage of Simon complaining about AI being boring this year, and the resulting need to DRAMATIC!CHANGES! per a new judge, shorter results shows, etc... I just doubt the Emmy's will want to get behind AI with all that in the background this year. Which is too bad because the show is really a phemomenon, and it would be a shame if it never gets honored by the top TV award. I really hope Ryan wins this year, because he is awesome.

For the Reality Competition, they don't vote based on the entire season. Each show submits a single episode. It hasn't leaked which episode was submitted for AI. TAR submitted the one about "they must be witches" (India, I believe). Lots of people think that TAR might be vulnerable this year because Phil was not nominated for Best Host. But most of the pundits think it will still win. They've been wrong before, though (most I've seen seem to pick Ryan to win his category) If you were going to submit an episode, which one would you submit? I don't think they can win with a performance or results night show. Performance nights just look like N people singing (which is kind of the point). The results show tend to ddddrrrrraaagggg. So, I would have submitted the Hollywood episode. I thought there was lots of great drama in that.

He's the best host on TV--period (ok, so last year's Emmy's weren't spectacular, but that's a different sort of comedic hosting). I don't think any of the other nominees can really compete, honestly.
