And the Nominees for the Most Cringe-worthy Emmy Moments are...
+ Tori Spelling clearly not being asked to be involved in the tribute to her groundbreaking father's career
+ Kate Jackson's never-ending speech while Farrah Fawcett fidgeted around like she had never worn a dress before
+ Kate Jackson's awful plastic surgery. If that's really the best that money can buy then
+ Dick Clark being brave
+ Steve Colbert's never-ending embrace of Jon Stewart, who now has a full chess set of Emmy awards and doesn't really need the manlove at this point.
+ Julia Louis-Dreyfus having no idea what to say sans cue cards
+ Barry Manilow's hair
Sponsored message
+ The FCC turning a blind eye to the national broadcast of the nipple that was accidentally revealed by The Office co-star, when they went crazy when Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction which revealed her nipple on national tv. It's only a scandal when it belongs to a black woman?
Emmy links after the jump:

- underdogs, particularily NBC were the big winners last night
