YAY! — congratulations to all!
The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air Sunday, September 16, on FOX.
Hurray! Congratulations to David and Dean! This award is VERY well-deserved. It amazes me how much the story is created and shaped with editing.
131 | Melody Sun. Sep. 9, 2007 at 7:23amYAY!!! 1 Emmy! Congrats to Dean & Dave! Hopefully next week we’ll be able to make that 5 wins total :)
130 | Joanna Sat. Sep. 8, 2007 at 11:23pmRainn was at the awards today. Pictures over at Gettyimages and other places I’m sure.
129 | Jules Sat. Sep. 8, 2007 at 9:05pmThe Office lost Sound Mixing to a tie of “Entourage” and “Scrubs.”
In brighter news, at least the show goes into the main show with one win, which is more than last year.
128 | Matt Sat. Sep. 8, 2007 at 7:06pmHearty congrats to Dean and Dave! Kudos to them both for the outstanding work they did in “The Job” and throughout the entire season of “The Office”. Yay!
127 | _bales Sat. Sep. 8, 2007 at 6:30pmThe Office just won Single Camera Picture Editing at the Creative Arts Emmys! Congrats!
126 | Matt Sat. Sep. 8, 2007 at 5:46pmI think Jenna’s main competition is with Vanessa Williams, but as someone previously noted, industry support is behind “The Office,” so that should work in Jenna’s favor. I really hope her nuanced performance beats Williams’ more cartoonish role on “Betty.” Pam’s evolution is the stuff great acting is made of.
125 | CH Mon. Sep. 3, 2007 at 2:35pmThanks for the news on Mindy. While I have to admit that I do support the caps in theory, I think they certainly end up screwing people who don’t deserve to be screwed. I also have to admit that I’d really like to see the description of Mindy’s producer duties, given that her primary responsibilities (at least from the perspective of a lay person fan of the show) are writing and acting. The Office process has always struck me (again, as a lay person) as *very* collaborative, so I wouldn’t be surprised if her duties have somewhat “morphed” from writer-performer to producer.
124 | crookedlawyer Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 2:28pmI don’t think anyone is a lock, especially Steve competing against Alec Baldwin. And you can’t count out the fact that Tony Shalhoub has won 3 years in a row for Monk, an obscure show that most of America doesn’t watch or even know is on. And people love Ricky Gervais…
123 | Flonkerton Rules Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 1:12pmIn Actor, a lot of people are predicting Alec Baldwin, but the truth of the matter is that his tape isn’t that good (”Hiatus”) and I personally thought Carell, Shalhoub, and Gervais were better. I have a hunch that Carell wins this year because his final scene with Jenna Fischer is just heartbreaking.
I think Rainn Wilson will lose Supporting Actor to Jeremy Piven, but he is still a contender. Dwight is such an odd character that some members of the Academy may be turned off by Rainn’s performance, but if they actually watch it they will notice just how good of an actor Rainn is.
After watching all the tapes in Supporting Actress I feel confident in predicting Jenna to win, but the only problem is that performances like hers are hardly ever rewarded in the category she is in. Looking at past history, someone like Conchata Ferrell or Holland Taylor will win, but I really get the sense that support in the industry is high on The Office, which makes me think Jenna clinches the win.
122 | Matt Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 11:38amI wouldn’t underestimate 30 Rock for best comedy
I really feel that Steve Carrel and Jenna Fischer are locks
121 | Emobacca Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 10:55amHow does everyone think the show will do when the awards are presented on the 16th? For now I see it winning Comedy, Actor, Supporting Actress, Writing, Directing, and Picture Editing. I think some of those choices are risky with all the competition, but I think it could really sweep.
Also, I’m really happy for Mindy that she was able to be included to the list of producers for the show. I’m going to guess that they will kick Ben Silverman off the list next year because his duties on the show will be heavily reduced now that he is President of NBC.

118 | _bales Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 8:45amLol, Tobyfan!
But yea, I’m totally with you on Colbert co-presenting with Steve. *chants* “Even Stevphen” reunion! “Even Stevphen” reunion!
117 | _bales Thu. Aug. 23, 2007 at 9:28amI can’t wait to find out who Steve’s co-presenter is - hoping it’s someone really funny (maybe Colbert??? In my dreams).
P.S. Sure, Bales, try to back out of the “I love Ryan Seacrest Club” now - don’t bow to peer pressure, man!
…yes, I’m kidding too…
116 | TobyFan Thu. Aug. 23, 2007 at 8:35amFirst 9 noms and now Steve Carell is hosting… what more could I aks for. Oh… I know!
OFFICE SWEEP!
OFFICE SWEEP!
OFFICE SWEEP THE EMMY’S!
(Just a little kickback to Kelly’s “fashion show, fashion show, fashion show at lunch.”)
115 | The Office Fanatic Thu. Aug. 23, 2007 at 7:43amSince irony doesn’t translate well in the printed word, I’d just like to state that I was kidding when I said I was a fan of Ryan Seacrest :)
But I’m really glad that Steve is one of the presenters. He’s always so funny and strikes up a great rapport with his co-presenters.
114 | _bales Wed. Aug. 22, 2007 at 9:26pmI have to agree with some of the other commenters. I find Ryan Seacrest really annoying. I was sad to find out he’s hosting. If there weren’t so much Office goodness involved, I wouldn’t watch the Emmy’s.
113 | Alison Wed. Aug. 22, 2007 at 4:11pmI’m sorry bales but I have to say Ryan Seacrest is a BIG step down form Conan O’ Brien, but knowing I’ll get an extra dose of Steve makes me even more excited!
