Emmy Winners 2013

Emmy Winners 2013
I love watching TV way more than I should. I mean, I have a gigantic TO DO list to work on. Thanks to three TV's in the house, as well as three computer monitors and Hulu, I'm able to watch my favorite shows and even discover some new ones. The 65th Emmy Awards aimed to reward the best of what's on the small screen and this year was full of surprises.

The host for the glamorous awards show was lovable, talented Neil Patrick Harris, joined by a stage full of previous hosts in his opening number. Pantone's 2013 color of the year, green, translated into many gowns worn by celebrities on the red carpet. Among the touching (and many) tributes to fallen stars was one for "Glee" star Cory Monteith given by Jane Lynch, as well as another heartfelt memorial of James Gandolfini by Edie Falco. Some viewers said this year was the strangest Emmy night ever, filled with too many eulogies and weird musical numbers.

"Behind the Candelabra" received more Emmy praise than any other HBO show, rewarding Michael Douglas with his first Emmy ever.
