Hi, Bryan Here….

Below is the list of the winners for the 2012 Prime-Time Emmy Award Winners.  I don’t  see how ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Two and Half Men’ win anything.  They shouldn’t win any kind of award when they go up against shows like ‘Mad Men’, ‘Game of Thrones’, and ‘Breaking Bad’.  The Emmy judges need to be fired and never allowed to pick winners ever again.  However, much congratulations to ‘Homeland’, ‘Downton Abbey’, Aaron Paul, ‘Veep’, and ‘American Horror Story’

One thought on “2012 Emmy Award Winners!!!”
  1. Even hinting that Jon Cryer has a similar level of performance as Louis C.K. is offensive. The fact that Cryer beat Louis for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series means that this whole Emmy thing is bogus.

    Two and a Half Men is trivial schlock, Louie is art.
