Ok so it wasn’t the best Emmys ever. But at least we have the opening to watch over and over. (Hopefully those links won’t go bad…) Seriously one of the best openings ever. Props to everyone involved, especially Tina :P.

Plus the cast looked fantastic!

The 62nd Primetime Emmys are today!  They air live coast to coast starting at 8:00 Eastern, 5:00 Pacific.

And even more exciting: Tina is going to be in the opening musical dance number!!

UPDATE:  Here’s two photos of Tina taping a Glee parody with Jimmy Fallon and the Glee kids.  Photo 1 - Photo 2

Remember to check back here for coverage and discussion about 30 Rock’s night at the Emmys.  To see a list of awards 30 Rock is nominated for check here.

The Huffington Post has posted a few pictures from inside the Emmys theater where a seating chart has been set up.  Under the actor the # of their award is listed.  It seems this year they’ll follow the same pattern and hand out all the comedy awards first.  (Saving Best Comedy Series for second to last of course.)  Be sure to tune in on time!

It looks like Tina has a front row center seat!  Sadly this also seems to confirm that Alec won’t be in attendance.  He has a charity event he’s already committed to.

Order of Awards:

1 - Supporting Actor Comedy
2 - Comedy Writing
3 - Supporting Actress Comedy
5- Best Actor Comedy Series
6 - Best Actress Comedy Series
26 - Best Comedy

The Emmys are coming early this year (August 29th!).  And one way or another Tina Fey will get up on the stage.  She has been tapped as a presenter for this years awards.  She joins many other wonderful and talented people such as Will Arnett, Edie Falco, Ricky Gervais and more.  See story here.

Submission tapes for the 2010 Emmys have been revealed. What do you think? Good choices?

Series:
Tape 1 - Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001 & Black Light Attack
Tape 2 - Anna Howard Shaw Day & Don Geiss America and Hope
Tape 3 -  The Moms & Emannuelle Goes to Dinosaurland

There may be a few more technical categories that aren’t available yet.
Note: We will know which episodes actors and the show submit if they are nominated.

NBC Universal mailed out their For Your Consideration Emmy tapes to voters this past week.  These aren’t official submissions or anything (Ballots come out June 4th!).  But we can see how they’re leaning.  Ausiello posted a full list.

The two episodes of 30 Rock on the tape are:
“Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001″ and “Anna Howard Shaw Day.”

What do you think?  Were those good episodes picks?

Note: These two episodes were just to get the show nominated.  30 Rock must pick out 6 episodes to be on 3 tapes when they are nominated.

See the full list of NBCU’s FYCs under the break: (more…)

I never posted the reactions in the press room after 30 Rock won it’s 3rd Emmy, so I figured I’d go ahead and get that on here.

Here’s the video!   The part with Jane’s fan at the end is hilarious :P.

Thanks JB!
