| TINA FEY WINS BEST ACTRESS FOR 30 ROCK Blog |
Tina Fey took home best actress in a comedy series and writing for a comedy series for 30 Rock on Sunday at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards.
"I'm very proud to be a writer. I wouldn't have had any of the other jobs I've had if I hadn't been a writer," Fey gushed.
Fey and her pregnant Baby Mama costar Amy Poehler, took a shot at Eva Longoria Parker before presenting Jeremy Piven with best supporting actor in a comedy series.
"When are you due?" Fey asked Poehler, to which Poehler responded, "that's so rude, I just gained weight for a role."
Longoria recently dismissed pregnancy speculation by saying that she had to gain weight for her role on Desperate Housewives.
Look back at the worst-dressed Emmy's stars of all time.
Despite all presenters being told not to mention the current election, some found a way to sneak in some references.
"I really look forward to the next administration, whoever it is," Jon Stewart said as he accepted the best variety, music or comedy series award for The Daily Show "I have nothing to follow that. I just really look forward to the next administration."
While presenting with Stewart, Stephen Colbert pulled out a bag of prunes and said, "America needs prunes. It may not be a young, sexy plum. Granted, it's shriveled and at times hard to swallow. But this dried-up old prune has the experience we need."

| OPRAH WINFREY WATCHING EMMYS "IN MY PAJAMAS" Blog |
Celebs are gearing up for tonight's Emmy Awards.
"You can expect me to do my part, and then I will be home to watch the rest of it in my pajamas before the next commercial break," presenter Oprah Winfrey told reporters Saturday at the Presenters Gift Lounge at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. "That’s what you can expect!”
Look back at the worst-dressed Emmy stars of all time!
Kathy Griffin -- who picked up the award for best reality program for her Bravo hit My Life On the D-List at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys -- wants to bring her trophy to tonight's show.
“I know it will look tacky and I’m not supposed to, but I really want to," she told Usmagazine.com. "I want to throw [it] at Ryan Seacrest for no other reason."
Kidding aside, she added: "I am still shaking to be presenting with Don Rickles.”
The highlight for Brooke Shields?
"I get to get dressed up!" said the star, who plans to wear Badgley Mischka. "I‘m looking forward to the great categories and great people."
For the first year ever, the show will give an award to the best reality show host. All five nominees -- Seacrest, American Idol; Tom Bergeron, Dancing With the Stars; Howie Mandel, Deal or No Deal; Heidi Klum, Project Runway; Jeff Probst, Survivor -- will share hosting duties.
“Honestly, we have realized that having five people try to agree on anything is really difficult,” Probst told Us. "The jokes come out and one guy likes it and the other guy doesn’t.
"For a guy who makes his living studying human nature, this has been a fascinating experience in human nature!” he said.
See why Seacrest and Probst got into a "fight."
Said Bergeron: “It’s probably going to be the last year they have five hosts. It’s like trying to herd cats! It’s tough, but it’s going pretty well.”

| KATHY GRIFFIN, CYNTHIA NIXON WIN CREATIVE ARTS EMMYS Blog |
Kathy Griffin might need to consider adding another member to her staff just to carry around her Emmy awards.
The comedian won her second Emmy on Saturday, picking up the trophy for best reality program for her Bravo hit My Life On the D-List. And, true to form, she delivered another memorable – and bleepable – acceptance speech.
"Well, well, well! Here we go again, f-----ers," Griffin said, gamely accepting the award at the Creative Arts Emmys held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
"I'm not going to tell anyone to suck it," she said, referencing her speech from 2007 in which she infamously told Jesus to "suck it." "I would make love to this thing if I could." On her way into the award show, the comedian, in a dress by Rebellion Dogs, told PEOPLE she was "beside myself with glee and nervousness." The comedian also joked about her competitors. "I want to take down Antiques Roadshow once and for all," she said. "I'm tired of those guys just running the world."
Griffin was also nominated for a stand up comedy special, though she lost the award to Don Rickles, with whom she is presenting an award at the Primetime Emmys next weekend. "Can you believe it? I'm in heaven," she said of presenting with Rickles. "It's what should have been the Obama/Hilary ticket of comedy. I'm very excited about that and being with him and standing next to him. I just love him."
Griffin was not the only salty celebrity to collect an award at the ceremony hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Chalke. Sarah Silverman won an Emmy for her parody music video "I'm F----- Matt Damon."
Also honored at Saturday's ceremony: Cynthia Nixon, who was named best guest actress in a drama for her role as a psychopathic mother on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Tim Conway, who was named guest actor in a comedy series for 30 Rock. And for the tenth year in a row, The Simpsons was named the best half-hour animated show.
The Creative Arts Emmys will air on Sept. 20 on E!, the day before the Primetime Emmy Awards will air live on ABC.
