for somebody who apparently didn't want this (according to supposed greatest thing to happen to the entertainment world, Nikki Finke, during the strike last year), Spielberg really is taking his time talking and talking and talking...
Spielberg accepted it last year after turning it down year after year because he wanted to show a clip of IJ. Then, no show. So he got trapped into being there this year.
Finke now:
I can't watch Scorsese paying tribute to Spielberg for the HFPA's Cecil B. Demille Award, and vice versa ("There's my inspiration right there," Steven said about Marty). It's too painfully embarrassing. Just say no to dumb Hollywood awards bestowed by even dumber Hollywood organizations, people. Just say no. Now, if Steven were to get onstage and plead for his DreamWorks 2.0 to get financing before January 15th, then I'd congratulate him for the reality check and so would every filmmaker caught in the credit crunch. But, no, Spielberg talked about trains. Missed opportunity.

I love the camera pans to practically everyone that Steven Spielberg's worked with and directed. The Drew Barrymore ones are the best.
Congratulations, Primetime Emmy Winners!

Thankfully Charlie Sheen is not nominated
Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.
I was gonna wait till the end of the show, but as soon as Tina said suck it to Babson, dlanefan and cougar-letter (aren't dianefan and cougar-letter the same poster?), I went straight on here lol
