OVERALL REACTION TO THE CEREMONY

  1. Heather Harris
    dcgrrl All in all, a well-done #Emmys, even pretty much on time. I wish Dexter won something-maybe next year!
  2. Conor Finnegan
    ConorFinnegan All in all, the #Emmys were really good this year…from host, montage, acceptance speeches, and category separation. Bring on the next one
  3. Maria
    MariaDubs And that, ladies and gents, is how you host an awards show. NPH for President! #emmys
  4. idea_girl
    idea_girl This was not your mother’s Emmys. Question: can the #Emmys broadcast be nominated for an Emmy next year?
  5. C!ERRA
    BenryMadeMeHam Best Emmy moment besides Michael’s epic win was definitely Jimmy Fallon, I was laughing out loud for realz. #Emmys
  6. bittersweetm
    bittersweetm Neil Patrick Harris was a fantastic #Emmys host! A great successor to John Stewart :)
  7. Hamish

  8. Rachel Donner
    rmiriam Ricky Gervais needs to host something, stat. #Emmys
  9. msbutch84

  10. Melissa Eisenmann
    Ruggerwoman809 Also loved @hodgman’s color commentary for TV viewers! He should also return next year. #Emmys
  11. LucilleRicardo
