Television’s big night out, the The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards Awards, were last night, and I didn’t actually watch it because (A) I had a class from six to nine, and then (B) the BF and I decided to watch Wrath Of Kahn instead of the final leg of the Emmys. Apparently, I wasn’t missing much, but that’s neither here nor there. The important part is that we get to discuss which rich people got trophies and which ones didn’t and why that’s great/terrible. So here’s the full list of winners via HuffPo …

Kind of sad that 30 Rock only got one award, despite the fact that this was their last year in the running, but at least Tina Fey got a final shoutout on her writing. Also a pleasant surprise: The Colbert Report breaking The Daily Show‘s decade-long streak. I loves me some Jon Stewart, but The Colbert Report had a great season and their recognition was long overdue.
