Agree with all the comments…. makes one wonder what the Emmys represent doesn’t it? Breaking Bad has come out with 7 episodes, and although Bryan does a brilliant job on the show, should just 7 episodes be enough to judge?
Hugh is the best actor on television at present…. I believe his portrayal of House is the single reason people not only watch the show, but are die hard fans….
Season 5 has started off on the same level as all other seasons – FANTASTIC!!!!

I agree with all your comments. Hugh Laurie rocks!! and he definitely deserved the emmy. As did American Idol, what’s with this Amazing Race – who even watches this show?? Crazy!! they should let the people who watch the shows vote!!!

I was disgusted Hugh Laurie did not win. (BTW, he had the flu and that is why he did not attend.) I read elsewhere that AMC had an effective EMMY campaign and that is why Cranston won. Mad Men is a good show and Cranston is a good actor. But, frankly I was very disappointed. I have had enough–I don’t think I need to watch again. The last two years the productions have been clunky. Reality show hosts? Give me a break. I avoid watching those why would I want to see the hosts. Heidi Klum? I don’t think so!

Actually I DO watch Breaking Bad, and Bryan Cranston does an incredible job. So does Jon Hamm on Mad Men. But compared to what Hugh Laurie does, there’s no contest. I like to think that those Emmy voters are so stupid that they don’t even realize how much he is doing and ACTING — simultaneously. His accent (including having to rattle off all that medical jargon in Americanese), dealing with the cane & the limp, his physical tricks (twirling, juggling, ball handling, sleight of hand …) and abilities (most notably his beautiful piano playing), and his skill at moving seamlessly from comedy to drama. And, unlike Cranston & Hamm, he does it (except for last year) in 24 episodes a year.

Is there any place we can protest or write letters of serious anger to the idiots who hold the “voter stick”? Title says it all, Hugh got screwed AGAIN. I mean who watches Breaking Bad. At least let James Spader take it away again…

Seriously? Hugh Laurie wasn’t there?! Good for him. (Although I thought he was supposed to be a presenter)

I guess I’m an incurable optimist because I still believe he will win — either for House’s 5th, or 6th, or 7th season.

Where was Hugh Laurie anyway? He wasn’t even at the Emmy’s, not that I blame him for all the Emmy snubbing he’s endured.
I’ve never even heard of the show that won.

Pushing Daisies got robbed too. They deserved more than three Emmy’s for their creative little show. Kudos to Barry Sonnenfeld though!

Oh my goodness,another flop.The Emmy results were completely different to what I was expecting.

I was 100% confident that Hugh Laurie was going to bag this year.I was very positive about it.Its ver disappointing for Hugh and his fans to see him walk away empty handed.

I reckon come next year,if he is to be nominated again,I reckon he should drop it.Whats the point.I think its being made clear,that Hugh will never win.

Hugh,whether you win or not,you rock.You are the best.
