With “Sherlock” the Emmys have a big winner. But the deserved victory for the drug drama can only half conceal what was the price for a fantastic Gala grits.

If one overcome certain needs in the night, then you should contact to television, Seth Meyers recommended Moderator at the beginning of the 66th Emmy Awards. In contrast to cinema television is simply less bitchy and demanding, because one must not buy expensive gifts to come into play.

A strange home for a family evening of entertainment compatible, one would think. And anyway, we do not just experience the golden age of television? The era has in the TV to the cinema in terms of claim and aesthetics well surpassed?

No, after three hours of Emmy gala generations of film buffs can rest assured that television is just as quick, dirty, and unassuming, as Meyers has said it.

Here, the evening began not so bad. In his initial monologue NBC late-night talker Meyers landed some nice punchlines about the unusual broadcast date (the Emmys were this year in favor of the MTV Awards and football broadcasts on a weekday shifted) and the unusual submissions of television producers.

“The drama, which makes us cry – because it was filed with the comedies” – so called the twelve times nominated Netflix series “Orange Is the New Black” was. Sorry, should remain the only appreciation for the outstanding production on a women’s prison: Once again won “Modern Family” the award for best comedy, what enticed colleagues from the “Guardian” to the pretty Pöbelei: “Again this dried-on office table broken-down donut from a show? ”

How serious is it with the enthusiasm for “Modern Family” really means the television industry, was still found themselves in the show in question. Given that was Sophia Vergara, star of the acclaimed sitcom, like a mannequin placed on a rotating platform to beautify as a backdrop with curves the stage. If the Twitter uproar over the scene is fairly indicative, the transmitting station CBS should have listed at this time a noticeable kink in the viewer ratings.

Emmy Awards 2014: Stormy Kiss for Julia Louis-Dreyfus

But for every Vergara low blow there was fortunately a Julia Louis-Dreyfus highlight. The former “Seinfeld” star shines not only in the HBO Comedy “Veep” as nefarious Vice President – as now double winner plays in a different class. In 2013 they returned after her first Emmy win for “Veep” not a thank-you speech on how they could not have been funny Write series creator Armando Ianucci.

2014, it took another on the way to the stage fully sovereign the proof of love from the currently largest male TV star opposite: Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) began Louis-Dreyfus for a friendly-meant, but nevertheless extremely stormy kiss from. As well as the award for best comedy actress this was worthy exception.

Without Kisses finally had to accept his trophy for Best Drama Actor Cranston. But even so, he must have felt the love of the Academy for the final season of the hit series: won with Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn, “Breaking Bad” Actor in all categories and was also named to the conclusion the best drama series.

With so much cheering for Everybody’s series Darling almost went under, that had recently created actually very different formats for conversation: “True Detective” was undoubtedly the relevant Series of spring, but instead as expected for lead actor Matthew McConaughey, it was only for director Cary Fukunaga a Emmy. The fact that both are no longer participate in the second “True Detective” season, no one should comfort.

Emmy Awards 2014:Kolbort instead Colbert

Also went under at the close clocked award, what it was for new comedies for a great year – next to “Orange Is the New Black” was also “Silicon Valley” of empty. Instead, you had to wonder about the Academy enthusiasm for “Sherlock”, a strong format but not certainly has its strongest season behind him. From the prospect of awards for the Best

Actor is major or minor Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman probably had not even promised a lot and did not even show traveled to Los Angeles.

When they finally won, had to step in, inter alia, Stephen Colbert and accept names in Freemans. The Letterman’s successor Colbert was it also, which caused involuntarily for the funniest moment of the Emmys in 2014. No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani botched the name of his show “The Colbert Report” so much (she said Kolbort instead Koll Bear) that her co-award presenters Adam Levine again quickly said the show name correctly, so it was also clear who had won for now as best Variety show.

At this time trying Live bloggers and Twitter users again to bring the Emmys on par with the Oscars – after John Travolta there had similarly failed and Idina Menzel touted as Adele Dazeem. But it was already too late and the Emmys nothing more and nothing less than a jumbled TV Awards. Quick, dirty, undemanding. But if we are honest, also quite entertaining.
