Emmy pic round-up: Our faves


Michael C. Hall brought a little Dexter to the party

So you may have heard that last night's 60th Emmy Awards wasn't quite the gay-fest that we had hoped. But still, a few moments (Neil Patrick Harris's introducing David Burtka as "my better half" to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet; Bryan Batt's joining the Mad Men cast on stage for their big win; the clip of Sydney Pollack saying "Will's gay" from Will & Grace) were bumps in visibility, and overall the wins went to gay-inclusive and gay-fave shows (Mad Men, 30 Rock, The Colbert Report).

The show also had its low points, namely the hosting situation (ABYSMAL ... and isn't this technically what those five people are actually qualified to do? Host a reality program?) and the sad trotting out of the Laugh-In cast for a retread of the joke wall routine ... it was meant to be a celebration of the brilliance of the show but I'm sorry, it wound up looking like a rehearsal for next year's "In Memoriam" montage.

Out actor Bryan Batt (second from R) and his fellow Men
 

We slogged through about 2,472 pics this morning to find some snaps of our favorite guests, some of whom didn't appear in the broadcast or undergo the scrutiny of Seacrest and his creepy Full-Body Leer Cam.

Enjoy! (All pics courtesy Getty Images)

Does anyone else wish that Alan Cumming would just faaaaaaade away?

No

Nevar! Long live Alan Cumming! And long live his amazing look in this picture. (Christian and Kathy Griffin look equally as lovely.)

Christian Soriano

He's the one that needs to fade away...
Joseph's picture

Absolutely not

It's taken him years...years, I tell you...to get that smirk just right! And now he's found the perfect hairstyle to go along with it!

Seriously, though, Alan Cumming has ten times more talent than any of the purported "hosts" of the show last night. In fact, why hasn't Alan done any hosting of this kind before--I think he'd be great.

Never let Alan fade away!

What are you thiking??? Alan Cumming Is by far one of the most talented & outspoken openly Gay actors. There are not many actors who can sing, dance, be so over the top funny and yet give wonderful dramatic performances. TV, Theatre, Movies...Not to mention all his work for AIDS and the Gay community in general.

Long may Alan be around for our enjoyment!

Michael C. Hall

It's so nice to see that first picture of Michael C. Hall with the broad, toothy smile. 

Almost all of the publicity shots I've seen of him post Six Feet Under and Chicago show him with his Dexter scowl and a closed-mouthed smile (if he's smiling at all).

His choice to make himself physically leaner and the styling choices made for the Dexter character have always creeped me out...

David and Neil

look cuter every time I see them. Wish Neil had won-a shout-out to David during his acceptance speech would have been legendary.

Was I the only one who found Josh Groban's medly of TV theme songs hilarious? Especially when he imitated Cartman when singing the "South Park" theme. I think he's adorkable.*

 

*a portmanteau of "dorky yet adorable".

Michael C. Hall, again (you can never have too much)

You said it. I'm just repeating. The only explanation for his loss YET AGAIN is that the universe is pure evil. Hyperbole aside. Okay, maybe not. What was with that bunch of moss green sink scrubbers Kathy Griffin had lashed to her hip? The girl's comedy enough. She doesn't have to wear it.
