Laura Dern won BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION for Recount, HBO's most inaccurate made-for-TV movie written by an actor and helmed by a comedy director. Ah, the night's first impromptu political speech was just delivered by Dern. The HFPA doesn't threaten the actors with bodily harm about this the way the Academy Awards people do.
I would say that this year those lobbying the HFPA hardest would have to be Paramount, Imagine and HBO. See how the pay channel has already won two awards. This, when HBO's 2008 line-up was among the lowest-rated ever.
Yay Gabriel Byrne! Wish he could have been there to deliver an acceptance speech.
Congratulations, Primetime Emmy Winners!
