I Live Blogged My Favorite Parts of the Emmys and, No, It Doesn't Necessarily Make Sense

William Shatner won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Dramatic Series.

I'm glad. He was my pick. It was either Shatner or Terry O'Quinn of Lost.

Other highlights included:

• Donald Trump and Megan Mullaly singing "Green Acres" was priceless!
  
• "Master Braff" and British accents
  
• Neil Patrick Harris nailed his presentation
  
• David Letterman kicking off the tribute to Johnny Carson
  
• The guy who won for writing House - his thanks to those who made him cynical was too funny. I don't remember his name because I simply wasn't paying close enough attention
  
• Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy - I like them, I like the show
  
• Magnolias (for Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts) instead of a wide array of ribbons. I don't think there's a ribbon color that hasn't been assigned to something
  
• In Memoriam - I'll admit it. I watch these shows so that I can applaud and sniffle along with everyone else during the montage of those who have passed on. There's always someone whose death I somehow missed
  
• Tony Shaloub's win for Monk
  
• James Spader - he's delightfully awful as Alan Shore on Boston Legal - "sex and weirdness" (his words, not mine)
  
• Lost winning an Emmy, except when you could see the chick with the white hair and dark glasses in the background
  
• Ellen DeGeneres as host of the Emmys. For the second time, she did a great job. But, as she mentioned herself, she seems to appear as host after some catastrophic event. Note to producers: I love her, but quick booking her! We can't afford these tragedies.
  
• CRAIG FERGUSON!!!!

I could do without:

• Blue Man Group - sorry, they just don't do it for me. It's bad enough that I have to watch them on the monitors at McCarran when I leave Vegas. Do I really need to be subjected to them in primetime? I think not
  
• Blythe Danner's dig on the war. Patricia Arquette was much more eloquent and gracious to our troops
  
• The endless commercials for, well, just about everything. Some were more irritating than others, but it's easier to lump them all together and whinge about them at once
  
• Quentin Tarantootie (just keeping with the Ellen theme here - fans of her old sitcom will know what I'm talking about) because he's scary in a goofy kind of way
  
• The mention of Dan Rather as one of the beacons of The Truth. Um, okay...
  
• Dan Rather's really bad "tan" or makeup or whatever the hell it was
  
• Voting for "Emmy Idol" - what? Only the east coast is qualified to choose? C'mon, people. Get real
