First, let me pat myself on the back for getting six of my ten predictions right. I'll take that any day.
Second, hooray for Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. While I'm disappointed that Breaking Bad couldn't unseat Mad Men as the Best Drama Series (not to take anything away from MM, but BB was simply better this past season), but seeing Cranston win for a third year in a row and Paul winning for the first time was gratifying enough.
I'm also very happy to see Modern Family take the Best Comedy Series over Glee. Glee is a downright terrible show. I tried to watch it with an open mind. But it's as cheesy as it gets, and not in a good way.
Modern Family on the other hand was consistently top-notch all season. I would have liked to see Ty Burrell have won Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy over his co-star Eric Stonestreet, but I'm not too disappointed because Stonestreet was hilarious too.
Still, the one thing about the comedy awards that bugs me is that while Family was the most deserving recipient, the category was missing four shows that needed to get more credit than they did: Community, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Party Down, and Parks and Recreation (which had the best season of comedy of any show on TV last year).
Oh well, though. There wasn't anything that happened that made me wet my pants in anger. Even Jimmy Fallon was a strong host (and the John Hodgman-facts were fun again). Sure, the Best Movie/Mini-Series awards dragged everything down a bit in the middle, but the overall production made for an entertaining night.
