Scandal, ABC/ABC Studios, Joe Morton as Rowan Pope

Accepting his first Emmy win for Shonda Rhimes’ soapy Washington drama, Joe Morton thanked the show’s “scrumptious cast” but said, “mostly I think I’d like to thank my parents, who are no longer with us, Joe and Evelyn, who taught me about artistry and courage” as well as the “genius — in capital letters, bold, underlined, with lots of exclamation points — of Shonda Rhimes.”

4:38PM: Amy Schumer, presenting the Emmys in animation derbies, brought some edge to the ceremony, saying “when I was first asked to present tonight, I was so humbled because half way through the call I realized they thought they were talking to Chelsea Handler.” She said she’s in awe that in Hollywood, a “girl like me – Size 6” can still be cast “as a woman getting gastric bypass surgery…or Gilbert Grape’s mom.” Schumer joked about the fact that the Emmy for Individual Achievement in Animation is a juried award but the winner will take the stage anyway because “like all of us narcissists, they still want to talk.”

Exclaimed Walsh, “Directors, stop excusing all your mistakes with ‘Oh, we’ll fix it in post.’ And, editors hate the question ‘Can you make it good?’ Here’s a thought – how about making it good on set. Is that too much to ask?”

5:23PM: Before announcing wins in various sound mixing categories, Key And Peele’s Keegan-Michael Key and Jordon Peele did one of their trademark cross-talk acts – this time, Key waxed eloquent about the power of television to inspire, singling out Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy for inspiring his own career, while Peele complained they aren’t being paid a nickel and the producers sent an Uber car to pick them up, whose driver is “a hipster from Silver Lake” who “asked me for a five-star rating,” adding, “I’m doing his podcast on Thursday.”

Janney thanked the crew for getting her that shot of bourbon before her first sex scene. Backstage, Janney, previously a four-time winner for The West Wing, called being in both Masters of Sex and her comedy Mom “a great year.” She said that her winning role tonight, Margaret Scully, “challenged me in ways that I’ve never been challenged before — especially the sex scenes. The sex scenes were extraordinarily difficult for me and something I didn’t think I’d have to do at this age.” The actress admitted its was “devastating” when The West Wing ended.

5:43PM: Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein of Portlandia said they were supposed to be joined by former First Lady Roselyn Carter in presenting Emmy wins for music competitions, but regret to inform attendees she could not be there. “She sends her regards and wants you to know she’s just really swamped right now,” Brownstein said.

“Music. Everybody hate it. And music is hard,” Armisen, a musician and Late Night bandleader, continued. Brownstein agreed, noting the movie Moulin Rouge had been nominated for multiple awards back in its day, “but tonight, nothing – zero.” Then Armisen gave out his phone number and Brownstein her email address.

No, we cannot explain it.

5:55PM: Community’s Joel McHale and Jim Rash, on stage to present Emmys in camerawork and lighting design categories, said their being on stage can only mean one thing: “This show has been cancelled” and then renewed on an internet streaming network. Jim Rash wanted to sing: “Oh TV, What have you got on all your channels? What’s on them tonight?”

“You just stabbed these people with sharpened screwdrivers in their ears,” McHale said, accurately.

Governor’s Award: Marion Dougherty C.S.A.,

Jon Voight reflected on his late supporter who discovered him and ultimately championed him for the feature film Midnight Cowboy: After about 90 breakneck minutes of awards dispensing, stage dashing and speech giving, Jon Voight took his time presenting the Governor’s Award to late casting director Marion Dougherty. The Emmy-nominated actor told a rambling tale of how Dougherty gave him his first part in Naked City, but as an inexperienced young actor he used up all his emotion on the long shots so had nothing left for the close-ups. Then, he said, he wrote several apologetic letters to Dougherty for blowing the part. But he never sent them. Years later, when he found out Dougherty was the casting agent for Midnight Cowboy, Voight used his last dollars to take a red-eye to New York, hoping she would see him. He ran into her in her office and told her about the letters of apology he never mailed. “I wish you’d mailed that letter,” she said. Then she introduced Voight to director John Schlesinger. “That was to become the turning point of my career,” Voight said.

It’s an important series in my life and the world’s life,” he said, adding, “It’s my f irst time out with Showtime — HBO was not happy about that. They’ll figure it out.” He called fellow producer Arnold Schwarzenegger a great governor “who did a lot of great things.”
