Last night, Fox aired the 67th Emmy Awards, and after a pretty delightful opening number, it was...actually pretty free of serious boners as these things go! The complete list of winners is here, and we'll have further coverage on the podcast tomorrow morning, but since we're here: highlights!

I was way into host Andy Samberg's opening monologue, but from the sound of it, the audience present didn't react as loudly as I did in my own living room.

Previously.TV contributor Trip Payne also wasn't a fan so I had to mute him on Twitter for the day. JK, Trip! OR AM I?!

Viola Davis made history as the first African-American woman to win a Lead Actress Emmy for her performance in a drama series, and delivered a gorgeous speech to mark the occasion.

Not everyone thought it was so great...but then General Hospital star Nancy Lee Grahn apologized for being an asshole about it on Twitter.

Then Jon Hamm delighted the world by breaking his streak and winning for his last semi-season of Mad Men.

I didn't think I could love anything more than the way he crawled onto the stage. I was wrong!

I don't know about your household, but as soon as the Emmy telecast ended, we switched right over to the second episode of future Emmy nominee (please, oh please) Project Greenlight, because apparently I had forty minutes I really needed to spend yelling at Jason Mann. Sarah ranked the episode's players from least to most dicky, and while the #1 pick may not surprise you, could anyone else really end up there? THE HBO GUY SAID YOU CAN'T SHOOT ON FILM, BRO, QUIT ASKING.
