Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards last night, and if you're wondering how he did... well, not great. There were a few semi-funny bits here and there, but for the most part, the presenters were more entertaining than he was.

But one part that was enjoyable to watch was Kimmel's opening skit, which featured all our favorite ladies of television (excluding anyone from 'Modern Family'). Now, thanks to the folks at 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' you can watch the entire opening skit right here.

The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards was a night filled with surprises, particularly when Julie Bowen of 'Modern Family' beat out Kristen Wiig for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy and when 'Homeland' trumped 'Mad Men' for Outstanding Drama Series.

Nick Romano — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 04:01:47 +0000

'Hatfields & McCoys,' The History Channel's three-part, six-hour mini-series dramatizing one of the most famous blood feuds in American history, may not have taken home the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie, but it can boast having the best lead actor in that category.

Nick Romano — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:19:39 +0000

We knew 'Modern Family' would win something at the 2012 Emmy Awards. After all, the cast and crew pretty much dominated the Comedy Series, and Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories. But probably no one expected Julie Bowen, who plays Claire Dunphy on the show, to beat out both Kristen Wiig (and her many 'SNL' personalities) and the late Kathryn Joosten of 'Desperate Housewives' in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category! But she did.

2012 Emmy Awards: Jessica Lange Wins Outstanding Supporting Actress for 'American Horror Story'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:17:51 +0000

Well, don’t get too excited. Jessica Lange may have won the Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy, but in the Mini-Series or Movie category, where FX managed to score 17 nominations for ‘American Horror Story.’ Some would argue that ‘American Horror Story’ isn’t quite a mini-series, but given the show’s nature of reinventing every year, the Ryan [...]

'Fringe' Emmy Snubs "Ridiculous" Says Leonard Nimoy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 14:51:40 +0000

'Fringe' fans were deeply saddened (thought not altogether unsurprised) to learn with yesterday's 2012 Emmy nominations that the cult sci-fi series had been passed over entirely for any award recognition, in spite of years of groundbreaking work and the universally acclaimed performance or series star John Noble. Longtime supporter and sometime guest-star Leonard Nimoy too has felt the outrage, and has taken to Twitter to vent his frustration.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:15:25 +0000

Well, there but for the grace of GOB go they. The 2012 Emmy nominations are out, and with them the usual squabbling over under-appreciated gems and the series that the academy seems to vomit awards upon without any inking of whether or not they deserve it. Of course, some of the nominations are well deserved, and others pleasantly surprising, so who's causing the biggest stir among TV viewers this year?

'Family Guy' and 'Simpsons' Writers Protest 'Community' Emmy Submission

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:21:57 +0000

The Emmys can be rather confusing for all their rules and regulations, in that certain shows can't compete, or that animation can't submit itself for writing categories, instead remaining its own category. Now, the latest Emmy ballot has the writers of 'Family Guy, 'The Simpsons' and others hopping mad, but what does 'Community' have to do with it?

'Mad Men' Star Jessica Paré Already Vying for Lead Actress Emmy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:14:23 +0000

In a move no doubt to be parodied by the exact manner in which the character first appeared, and rose to a lead position within the span of a few episodes, it seems 'Mad Men' star Jessica Paré is once again on a swift ride to the top. After becoming a series regular this season, Paré is already submitting herself for the Lead Actress Emmy, but what does it mean for the show's other women?

January Jones Doesn't Want a Leading Actress Emmy For 'Mad Men'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:56:28 +0000

Whoa, Fat Betty. Blam a-lam. 'Mad Men' might rake in the Emmys year after year, but something at Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce just isn't right when none of the series' immense acting talent have taken home the prestigious award for acting, despite multiple nominations. And even if you're not fond of January Jones or Betty ~~Draper~~ Francis, the actress' chances this year might have doubled with her size.
