I wonder if it actually is a hinderance for shows like Veep and Silicon Valley to have so many nominees in the writing/directing categories.  On one hand, it is certainly good that they have so many great, Emmy worthy people behind the scenes, but I have to think some kind of split voting can play into effect.

Erm...were Tina Fey and Amy Poehler nominated (and won) together?  How is that allowed?

Yes, because they co-hosted the episode for which they were nominated.   It was the first time two people won that award, though.

I love Transparent, but I liked Season 1 better than Season 2.  S2 got a little too arty for its own good.

I agree. I kind of got bored with season 2. I guess I never really think of Transparent as a comedy. I guess Jimmy Kimmel is making a bad joke about that now.

I'm sure Julie Louise Dreyfus was amazing as always, but I was really hoping for Ellie Kemper.  At least she actually got nominated this time around.

I would have liked to see Ellie Kemper or Tracee Ellis Ross win, but I like Julia Louis Dreyfus, so I am fine with it.

I have to say I'm not a fan of multiple winner (see: Modern Family's 5 in a row, Helen Hunt 4 in a row) but I'll allow it for Julia.

Selina is Queen.  I don't know if she submitted Correspondence Dinner but if she did then that is Her Emmy.

So we're doing the thing again where some deceased stars get a big segment?  How do they choose?

I do not know how they decide how someone's death trumps someone else's. Unless they were giving some kind of special lifetime achievement award or something akin to that, I think the only fair thing is to keep them all in the In Memoriam segment. I feel like I sound like a bitch now.
