[dozyk74]

Game of Thrones for me!

 

[SFLMAN]

Tie between Behind the Candelabra and Political Animals.
Louie for outstanding comedy series.
Parenthood should be on the list for outstanding drama series. It's a great show with a great cast.

 

[Native Son]

Al Pacino, Phil Spector

News to me. When did that come out?

 

[DCRacer]

I kind of sped through my DVR recording of this - I thought it was rather plodding and lifeless... Neil Patrick did his best, but it all was rather blah... outside of three correct speculations, the Washington Post tv guy really didn't pick who'd win that well, at all.

 

[braex27]

I think NPH is much more in his element at the Tony's.

 

[DCRacer]

but even the middle of the show musical number was just a total "wtf?' moment that really had no purpose and failed despite NPH's skills as a singer and dancer.
