There were, of course, moments that stood out for us, namely the hosting, which was filled by Andy Samberg and seemed little lackluster. However, that could be just us! Jon Hamm won an Emmy, for Outstanding Actor, finally and it was about time! Tracy Morgan , (who surprised Tina Fey) made an appearance and managed to be touching and funny at the same time. Viola Davis used her acceptance speech , as the first black woman to receive the Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy, to shine a light on the lack of "diversity" in Hollywood.

Great piece in TVNewsCheck about the legendary Fred Silverman , currently working on a memoir, who managed to run ABC, CBS and NBC, and put some of television's most memorable shows on the air.
