Tonight, the annual Emmy Awards telecast will be aired live on both the East and West Coasts (finally!). The ceremony will also incorporate fan tweets into Jimmy Fallon’s material—but will there be any other surprises in the 2010 broadcast?

Will 30 Rock continue its domination in the Comedy category, or will Glee - or even Modern Family - finally topple the reigning champ? Will Mad Men snag another Best Drama win, or will Lost get a statue for its final season?

What will Conan O’Brien say if he wins for The Tonight Show during this NBC event? Will Elisabeth Moss address soon-to-be ex-husband Fred Armisen if she wins for Best Supporting Actress? Oh – the awkward possibilities are endless!

So who won and who lost at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,

Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.

Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.

So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Tom Selleck Takes on Las Vegas

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, Rumors,

With the announcement that James Caan was leaving NBC’s Las Vegas, fans of the show were in a bit of a tizz. Never fear, another manly-man will be taking on the challenge of filling Caan’s big shoes. Selleck, famous for Magnum, P.I. and his adorable mustache, is in talks to take on the role as the new owner of the Montecito Resort & Casino. Time will tell if Selleck can save the series after Caan’s departure to return to big screen projects. And, oh yeah, the show is also looking to fill Nikki Cox’s vacancy, so be on the lookout for another hottie to come strolling into the casino. Regulars Josh Duhamel, Molly Sims, James Lesure and Vanessa Marcil are all still on board for the upcoming fifth season.
