Where are you guys getting this stream from?

Outstanding Drama Series goes to "Homeland," dashing "Mad Men's" chances for a recod five wins.

If you mean our information about winners, we're watching it live on ABC TV, the US network broadcasting the show.

Yeah, I was just watching it on TV.

Interesting comments from the NYT bloggers:

The Emmy goes to “Game Change."
DAVE ITZKOFF: That was a tough one, Mike – could’ve just as easily gone to “American Horror Story" or “Hatfields & McCoys." But it’s good to see Tom Hanks win an award for once.
MIKE HALE: Suddenly all the HBO winners are remembering to mention Richard Plepler, the network’s new C.E.O.

"Sherlock" wasn't even on their radar for Best Mini-Series"!

So...that's basically everything they were up for, right?

Dammit it's not on TV in Australia

They favor American shows, I know it.

Well, positive side, they were nominated which is a great honor in itself

Nice to see Michael J Fox get a standing ovation as he prepares to announce Best Comedy.

Some pics for our friends overseas...

"Modern Family" just won for the comedy show.

I don't see a live stream of the actual Emmys show, but there is a backstage live stream:

I'm sure the whole show will be available somewhere once it's over in a few minutes

Thanks for catching those sherlockedkt :D

Here's a gif of when they cut to Ben when Aziz was joking about being from the UK

Sherli Bakerst · September 24, 2012 2:59 am

Great pics, Sherlockedkt! Thanks for them.

The show just ended. Big sigh. Big disappointment. When and what are the next big award opportunities for TV shows???

Sherli Bakerst · September 24, 2012 3:00 am

And thanks again, Sam, for the gif (how DO you make them?).

Good night, everyone!

Wholocked · September 24, 2012 3:01 am

Ah thanks sherlockedkt...that'll be this post

Shame. I would really REALLY like to see at least one of the awards shows recognise Benedict's work on this show. He's outstanding.

Sam · September 24, 2012 3:02 am

I don't keep up with award shows so I'm not sure.

No prob - found it on tumblr again, wasn't me. BUT I do know how to make gifs, haha. Night

When they cut to his name being announced:

(not made my me )

He's too precious. How can you not give that face the award??

Wholocked · September 24, 2012 3:05 am

And people wondered why the international expectation was that most, if not all, awards would go to American produced shows....

jenosborn · September 24, 2012 3:10 am

Seems true, unfortunately! The acting awards are occasionally other-than-American, but the U.S. - produced shows still appear to win @ the Emmys as a rule.
A truck-load of nominations, though. well done you:
