You can view all the 2011 Emmy Award Winners at TVLine and Emmy.com.
As some of you know already from Twitter, Mark attended the awards with his Mom Shirley. Here they are gracing the Red Carpet. Shirley wore a killer black dress and Mark looked dashing as well in a black and white tux sporting a “Situation” type hairstyle.
Another Red carpet favorite last night was Season 13 Dancing With The Stars contestant, Chaz Bono and his girlfriend, Jennifer Elia. His documentary “Becoming Chaz” was nominated for 3 Emmy’s. According to his twitter it lost to “Gettysburg”.
Twenty-five other awards will be handed out at the LIVE Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on Fox next Sunday, September 18 (5-8 p.m. PT, 8-11 p.m. ET). Be sure to tune in if interested!!
Man, why they don’t give an Emmy to Tom? He does deserve it!
Who did win that one?? Probst again?? Dude is heavily edited. Only Tom or Cat really deserve it.
Couldn’t even snag best lighting or musical direction or wardrobe/costuming????
Yeah, Probst won again. Guess it was the only category Survivor was nominated in. Since Survivor is taped vs Tom having to do DWTS live….I think Tom was robbed. I dare Jeff to come up with a zinger during a live performance.
You heard it here first. Wouldn’t it be neat if Cher sang on one of the Results shows this season. One of her tremulo classics, not the outlandish stuff. Then, the show could be nominated for best musical guest appearance!
I had a feeling Jeff Probst was going to win it again. In a weird way I think that he deserved it this year after dealing with Russel Hanz and Boston Rob for the third time (idk if anyone watches Survivor but people who know who they are know how annoying each one is especially that gnome Russel).
Who won the choreography emmy though? I know a bunch of people from SYTYCD were nominted so I’m guessing one of them.
Well, I love Jeff and I adored this past season of Survivor with Russell and Rob. Jeff does a lot to merit his Emmy wins, editing and all notwithstanding. Could he do what Tom or Cat Deeley (who I really wanted to win) do? No, not as well, I don’t think. But don’t kid yourself, his job is no piece of cake. 🙂
The choreography Emmy was a tie between Mia Michaels and Napoleon and Tabitha. 🙂
Congrats to DWTS for winning an Emmy. I also think Tom should win an Emmy one of these years. He’s awesome!
Tom should’ve won!!!!!! Boo!
Since Dwts won for hairstyling, I wonder if this means that Kym can hawk the hairpieces on HSN as “Emmy winning”? Hee hee.
@Evaine: Thank you for telling me 🙂 I like Tabitha and Napoleon but don’t really understand how Mia Michaels keeps winning these. She is good but they should give it to someone else besides her and spread the love.
Bruce, I doubt very much you were the first to come up with this idea. They’ve been talking Cher since Chaz’s name was announced.
I love Jeff too, and Survivor – but I don’t think there is any question that his job is easier than Tom’s and he’s paid considerably more. I do NOT pity him for having to deal with certain survivors – have you ever read his blogs? He LOVES the crazy ones – thinks they are the best ever. He doesn’t hold back on his blog Besides all that, he’s won multiple times (like, 5? in a row) – time for him to withdraw and give someone else a chance.
Congrats to NappyTabs, but Mia?? Over Rated.
*LOL* I guess that’s why I like him so much. I never miss his blogs and like Jeff, I ADORE the crazies!!! The show would be SO boring without them! Anyway, I think comparing Survivor hosting duties to DWTS or SYTYCD or Idol hosting duties is like comparing apples and oranges. Totally different specifics. 🙂
I was glad that NappyTabs won, they’ve always been faves of mine. I enjoy a lot of Mia’s stuff too, but she’s not the Queen of All Choreo! I’ve actually enjoyed her absence from both the American and Canadian SYTYCD shows this past season. 🙂
Still, it would have been lovely had Mark won. 🙂
Jeff makes more per episode but Tom earns more per year overall since he does more episodes.
I also agree that Tom has a tougher job and deserves to win.
That is great that “Becoming Chaz” got nominated for 3 Emmys!!! I think it shows that more people are becoming open-minded. 🙂
Tom so deserved an emmy for his awesomeness hosting the show.
The only positive I see to come out of this is, That maybe Mark will be somewhat manageable this season to watch. Lordie, can you imagine if he had won….. Yikes!
LOVE NappyTabs… Much prefer Sonya Tayeh over Mia Miachaels, but whatever.
Congrats to the hair department!
While Mark’s ego would have gotten even more unbearable, it would be preferable to Nigel’s unrelenting gloating on Twitter and, certainly, all over SYTYCD next season. If Tom’s and Jeff’s jobs are that different, perhaps they shouldn’t be in the same Emmy category.
Joanne, I don’t think so – Survivor is also on twice a year, in addition to them now giving Probst…I think it’s a production credit.
Sandy – that would be nice…but….
Tom shouldve won. My 2nd choice was Cat. Has DWTS everbwon for choreography? I get it if they lost to SYTYCD every time. DWTS has restrictions with choreo(no lifts) I don’t think SYTYCD has any.
I think Tom is great!! He will probably be like Susan Lucci when it comes to adwards. Tom probably isn’t in the “in crowd”. I wouldn’t watch DWTS if Tom was not the host.
Hope one day soon Tom wins that Emmy Award for host. He deserves it. That is nice pic of Mark and his mother. Though, I don’t like his hairstyle like that.He should grow his hair all around not just the top part.I loved that routine that Nappytabs won for it was my favorite dance from last season.
Yep, Cindy, gotta agree on the hair. The way he has it now….well, it was better when he shaved his head. 🙂
