June 9: Deadline.com
Deadline.com reports that Universal Media Studios has installed Emmy promo mannequin displays at various Bloomingdales in Los Angeles, including ‘The Office’ display at Bloomingdale’s in Sherman Oaks. The mannequins “will be on display during the Emmy voting period: June 7-June 20. Stopping by the installations today will be cast members of the shows who will face the taller, anorexic versions of themselves.”
Can you guys go check it out and bring back photos? I wonder if the display will be as bad as this ad fail. :)

May 28: Ausiello Files
Michael Ausiello includes The Office in his Dream Emmy Ballot:
- Comedy Actor, Steve Carell: “Dunder Mifflin’s bad times brought out the best in Michael and his portrayer. (See ‘Murder’ for more.)”
- Supporting Comedy Actress, Jenna Fischer: “She rocked the wedding. She aced the delivery. And she absolutely killed in ‘Murder.’”
- Supporting Comedy Actor, John Krasinski: “Go back and rewatch his face during the scene in which Pam gets breastfeeding tips from her male nurse.”
Previously posted news after the jump.
May 12: Ausiello Files
The Ausiello Files reports that NBC has sent the wedding episode Niagara to represent The Office to Emmy voters prior to the official nomination process.
Considering that Niagara was the highest ranked episode this season as voted by OfficeTally readers and can be easily enjoyed as a “standalone episode,” I think this was an excellent choice.
What do you think?

WOW there’s so much here! Thanks for compiling all of this!
Amazing Performance Nbc’s The Office staff…you all are phenomenal
is Ricky Gervais’s goatee have anything to do with him playing David Brent on The Office?? i really hope so =)
Absolutely loved John’s deer-in-the-headlights appearance on the Emmy’s. Just spot on awkward. Well done!
Did you see the post-Emmys write-up John & Emily got on GFY?

SWOON!
omg. anyone else notice Jenna’s ring?!
The Office and 30 Rock are still the two best shows on tv. As a nice bonus they also have the two most beautiful women on tv as well, Jenna Fischer and Tina Fey.
lol @ the party photos where everyone looks so red. must be from the cranberry juice.
Loved Kate Flannery’s dress! She is so good at choosing the perfect colors for herself! Props to most of the cast for rockin’ the red carpet.
Mindy’s dress DID kinda make me think of Cha-Cha DiGregorio from “Grease,” but you know what? Sometimes you just gotta pull out your black net crinoline and lure Danny away from that little Australian twerp!
Oh my god Ed Helms & Tina Fey!! They totally need to make a project together!! He’s so handsome, there’s some great photos here! They all look really nice (except I’m not a fan of Mindy’s dress).
Jenna looked fabulous! I’m so sad I never saw her or hardly any other cast members grace my TV screen last night :-(
Aw, Ed looks so cute on page 12
Aha! John’s satin tie just made my day!
did anyone else see john forget his lines last night? it was pretty cringe worthy. i had to explain to my daughter that it was just a joke that the audience didn’t get.
Everyone looked wonderful but I really loved Ellie’s dress – it suited her to a T!
wow what is going on with mindy kaling’s dress. that is not a look i approve of, sorry mindy
I’m really sad that John and Jenna don’t do pictures anymore. You hardly get to see them in photos together these days, and as a true fan girl, it breaks my heart. ):
I love JAM.
Anybody else think Brian should have worn tissue boxes on his feet?
Yeah, I agree with Karen. Everything about Jenna’s look showed off her natural beauty and elegance. John looked cute!
Really sad The Office didn’t win this year, but yes, quoting DJ Jazzy Flax, IT’S ALMOST CRIMINAL THAT STEVE CARELL HASN’T WONT FOR THE MICHAEL SCOTT CHARACTER!
Let’s keep the show rockin’!
Of course I wanted everyone from The Office to win but if they had to lose I’m glad they lost against Modern Family and Jim Parsons. I just do not like 30 Rock or Alec Baldwin. Now we have the season premiere to look forward too.
