Last year, comedian Tracy Morgan had gone through a serious car wreck with his recovery questionable. At the Emmy award show, late night host Jimmy Kimmel gave a short mention to the comic while presenting the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series saying \u201cWe\u2019ll see you next year Tracy Morgan.\u201d This year, as a surprise to many, Tracy Morgan walked on stage to announce the nominees for this year\u2019s Outstanding Drama Series and received a standing ovation at the same time.<\/p>\n

That was one of tonight\u2019s better highlights during the Emmy Awards presentation on FOX. Others included John Hamm\u2019s humble speech for winning Outstanding Lead Actor for a Drama Series after he chose to climb on stage instead of using the stairs. This was a nod to Tina Fey who did the same thing a few years ago and Amy Poehler and was the one who read the list of nominees. Uzo Aduba, who won for Outstanding Supporting Actress for Orange Is The New Black<\/em>, gave a heartfelt thank you to her family as well as her sister who she called her best friend. Andy Sandberg and Seth Myers took a few minutes to honor their former Saturday Night Live<\/em> boss, Lorne Michaels, with a \u201cBest Boss Ever\u201d coffee mug. And FOX should have received an award for completing the live special within three hours!<\/p>\n

The 67th Emmy Awards started well with a song-filled spoof with host Andy Samberg going underground in a bunker not to return until he had seen every episode and of every show that was up for an award. Why Samberg is no Billy Crystal, he did a decent job. Then he came out to do his opening monologue. Ugh. While he did get in a few good jokes, there were too many cringe-inducing ones with shots of those in the audience looking bewildered.<\/p>\n

The huge winner of the night belonged to just about everyone involved in the making the limited series\/movie, Olive Kitteridge<\/em>, which won every award in its category except for supporting actress, which went to Regina King for American Crime<\/em>. Both Veep<\/em> and Game of Thrones<\/em> won four awards each (incidentally, Game of Thrones<\/em> was nominated for 24 awards this year which makes it 83 nominations total to date for those keeping track) with Transparent<\/em> coming in third with three wins.
\nAnd this year\u2019s winners are:<\/p>\n
