I watched the Emmy's tonight.

Random notes I jotted throughout the night...

• Paul Newman didn't show up. Snap! What a snub!

• Geoffrey Rush is so cool!

• I got a little misty during the Carson tribute. Especially when he sang "Here's that Rainy Day" with Bette Midler.

• Wow - Tarantino showed up. I didn't know he made his debut as an Elvis performer on "The Golden Girls."

• They really hit George Bush pretty hard. They showed Jon Stewart following a clip of Bush by saying "You know I love you, that's why I hit you." And Blythe Danner thanked "our kids in Iraq. Let's get the hell out!"

• I'll just note that William Shatner didn't sing the lyrics to the Star Trek theme.

• "Don't push me. Take your hands off me unless you plan to arrest me."
  - - Dan Rather in 1968. I've always wanted to see that clip....

• In Memoriam: Jerry Orbach, Bob Denver.

• Pretty classy, bringing out Charlie, the little boy from New Orleans.

• I was glad Lost finally won something. And that they brought the whole cast onto the stage for it -- Charlie, Sawyer, Sayeed, Locke, Jin, Hurley, Jack...
