My picks for the final two categories:

Outstanding Comedy Series
The Office

Outstanding Drama Series
Ooooh...tough call. House and 24 are my two favorite television shows. But I'm gotta go with 24...although I'll be thrilled if either one of them win. Or The Sopranos.

Wasn't a bad show this year. I'm thrilled Kiefer won for "Best Leading Actor in a Drama"...and even more thrilled that 24 won "Outstanding Drama Series."

Pretty good show -- nothing spectacular or controversial or overly exciting, but -- Conan had some funny moments... but I'd mostly like to thank The Academy for helping me pad my post count up 38 ... now, 39 ... more posts!

Now I'm getting off this damn computer for a while - to watch some TV!

I think maybe I need to stop drinking this tea...my dad said it was imported from Long Island...and it tends to make anything (and everything) rather humorous...

Well, Matt Drudge is pissy about that Conan plane skit at the Emmys, but really, I don't think it was broadcasted in bad taste hours and a day after that Kentucky plane crash.

I mean, did TV quit airing action, explosion-filled movies after 9/11? Umm, NO.

Anyway, Conan was hilarious, and I hope he jobs the Oscars sometime.

I thought Edie Falco and James Gandolfini looked hot on the show last night. They are a class act together!

Here's a recap...

( And I gotta tell you, this headline scared the shit out of me! )

"Monk" star "semi-comatose" after Emmy win

Mon Aug 28, 4:00 AM ET

Tony Shalhoub, winner for lead actor in a comedy series for USA's "Monk," said that although he was "shocked" about his win last year, "this year I was semi-comatose. I couldn't quite process it. What comes after deja vu? Deja trois? I would like to feel good about it, but I feel too numb."

Shalhoub said he had expected Steve Carell to win for his role on NBC's "The Office," which was named best comedy series.

"At this point, this isn't even frosting on the cake; this is like the rarefied air above the frosting on the cake -- the smoke on the candles above the frosting on the cake."

Asked about similarities with his character, an obsessive-compulsive detective, Shalhoub said, "I'm much more of a worried person in real life than my character, if you can possibly imagine that."

Mariska Hargitay, who won the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series, credited the continuous creative strength of the crime drama "Law & Order: SVU," which is going into its eighth season in the fall, for being recognized so late in the series' run. "It's crazy," she said. "Who wins on a police procedural?"

Hargitay's first thought when she heard her name as winner in the lead drama actress category? "That my dad would be very happy," she said, choking up. Hargitay paid tribute to her father, body-builder Mickey Hargitay, for encouraging her to "make dreams happen, make miracles happen."

"I am absolutely floored," "Huff" co-star Blythe Danner said of her second consecutive win in the supporting actress in a drama series category for her role on the Showtime drama series, which was canceled after two seasons.

"It's a very nice way to say goodbye, very bittersweet." Danner dedicated her award to her late husband, TV producer Bruce Paltrow. "He had some wonderful shows on the air. This does belong to him."

"When they called my name, I was so proud to be there with my mother," said Jeremy Piven, Emmy winner in the supporting actor in a comedy series category for his role on HBO's "Entourage."

Piven teared up when he talked about his late father. "He is here, and he is very proud."

On a lighter note, he offered an explanation for the use of the word "fluffer" in his acceptance speech. "I am such a ham and desperately wanted a laugh," he said. "Fluffer came into my head and I went with it."

As for the goody bags given to award show presenters which have been in the spotlight over the Internal Revenue Service's decision to tax them, "I think the goody bags should be sent to New Orleans, to Katrina victims," Piven said to an ovation. "Don't tax them, just give them to (the victims)."

The actor also had a message to aspiring actors. "I was always the underdog," he said. "If anybody looks at me and gets inspired, that will make me very happy."

Helen Mirren, named best lead actress in a miniseries or movie for the title role in HBO's "Elizabeth I," said she was fortunate to get such a great role.

"It's one of those roles that when it comes along, as an actress, you thank your lucky stars," she said, noting that she did a lot of research and "came to an understanding of what I thought Elizabeth was like."

Mirren, who said she couldn't wait to celebrate with a glass of champagne, said the best advice she ever got was from her mother. "She told me to never be afraid of getting older because as you get older you'll find that you love being whatever age you are. When you're 40, you can't comprehend being 20, but you love being 40."

In the past couple of years, television -- and especially American television -- has become more and more attractive for top talent, said Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, who won a best supporting actor Emmy for his role in "Elizabeth I."

"I suspect there is better, more interesting work happening on television than in most movies," he said. "We used to be snobbish about television, but if you look at the material on television, there is nothing to apologize about."

Still, Irons said he has a hard time adjusting to the ever-expanding TV universe. "I think having a lot of channels bleeds the power away from television."

As for paying taxes on gift bags, "If we have to pay taxes, so be it," he said. "But don't spend it on bombs, for Christ's sake."

Kelly Macdonald was named best supporting actress in miniseries or a movie for HBO's "The Girl in the Cafe," and when she came backstage to face reporters she was still stunned and visibly shaken about her first Emmy win.

"I still think someone's going to take it off me," she said of her trophy.

Asked whether she would have been upset had she lost to Ellen Burstyn, who has received a lot of attention for being nominated for a role in HBO's "Mrs. Harris" that put her onscreen for only 14 seconds, Macdonald replied: "I didn't know anything about that. I was just hoping one of the other (actresses) would win -- it's so nerve-racking, it's a nightmare."

Macdonald also noted that she has been acting for 10 years but that every so often she gets a "diamond part, so I couldn't ask for anything better than that."

I didn't end up watching the entire show, but later saw a few interviews afterwards. They played a small clip of Steven Colbert talking to Jon Stewart. Steven in his hyper hilarious manner waving his hands and shouting to Jon Stewart, "I lost! I lost to BARRY MANILOW"!!

I didn't watch a single minute of this years emmy awards. The only show I watch that was among the nominees is The Sopranos. And I figured it wouldn't be worth basically wasting 2-3 hours of my time just for the very few awards the Sopranos was up for.

I too had forgotten they were on.
I watched some of the Cubs/Cardinals game on ESPN and then some of the movie Office Space. I fell asleep before 11.
If I had remembered the awards show were on, I'd have watched some of it.
