More from the 2008 Emmys

William Petersen has handed over the CSI reins to Laurence Fishburne. I still haven’t decided if Morpheus is the best man to lead the CSI Vegas team. I think this was supposed to be a moving moment, but it kind of fell flat, IMHO.

Jay Roach has won Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special, and thanked his wife, guitar vixen Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles. I know it’s been a while since the heyday of The Bangles, but it still startles me how much Hoffs has aged.

I just caught my first glimpse of Entourage cutie Adrian Grenier. I know this year’s Emmys are really struggling to keep my attention if I only seem to be noticing the TV cuties on stage or in the audience.

The Amazing Race just picked up the Oustanding Reality Competition award, and Tom Hanks hit the stage to pick up yet another honor for John Adams, complete with political commentary.  Speaking of “amazing races”, it seems like in a year of a big election in the US, and an election in Canada, the political John Adams and Recount seem to be this year’s Emmy darlings.
