[Coco]

These are the important categories

I thought this was going to be a thread about the Emmys.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Fine.

These are the most important of the trivial trash they vote on.

There.

 

[The Talon]

Louis C.K. is all that matters.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Louis C.K. is all that matters.

Fuck off.

 

[The Talon]

Fuck off.

He's better than that SNL crap.

 

[Lowdown]

I'll go out on a limb and say Jim Parsons will get a 3-peat on the Best Actor: Comedy category.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I think Don Cheadle takes best actor in comedy series but that' just me. House of Lies is one of the many great Showtime shows.

 

[Lowdown]

Heard a lot about Homeland also. Don't have Showtime so I missed out on that and House of Lies. Gonna probably get them on DVD when they come out or stream them online.

 

[Coco]

He's better than that SNL crap.

Fuck off.

 

[GI Cake]

As long as Colbert and Tina Fey walk out with an award I'm happy.

 

[LigerBomb]

Without Louie & Community up for best comedy the category is irrelevant.

 

[Alastor]

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series Ed O'Neill, "Modern Family," ABC

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, "Modern Family," ABC

Ty Burrell, "Modern Family," ABC

Eric Stonestreet, "Modern Family," ABC

Max Greenfield, "New Girl," FOX

Bill Hader, "Saturday Night Live," NBC

Favouritism much?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Fuck off.

I'd much rather him win it than any of the other unfunny ***** there. Larry David is fine and likely deserves it, but other than him, Louis is the only person there who deserves to win an award with "Comedy" in the title.

Also, Real Time doesn't have shit on The Daily Show. I like Maher, but he hasn't had an original thought in 3 years.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Martin Freeman and Dingley, thank you very much.
