The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards are airing tonight on FOX. GLEE's Jane Lynch, nominated for her role as Sue Sylvester on GLEE, is hosting.
We will announce the winners as they happen and comment on the show itself. Stay tuned!
OPENING: Jane Lynch reports to duty to the President of Television (Leonard Nimoy - wasn't this supposed to be Alec Baldwin?). Now she's about to sing. "TV is a vast wonderland, a world of enchantment..."
Jim Parsons: I hate it when musical numbers come through our apartment.
A Ron Swanson sighting just upgraded this opening tremendously.
Jane's in the FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS locker room. I'm in heaven.
