Creative Arts Emmy Award Winner (Abridged Version)

The winners have been announced for the Creative Arts Emmys.  Since I really only have an intermittent interest in the Emmys period, I'll focus on the winners care about.  For full results, click here.  Kathy Griffin lovingly calls them the "Schemmys."  She was nominated again for My Life on the D-List, alas didn't win, possibly for fear of more attacks on deities.

<---Anne Hathaway is an EMMY winner!  Could this be her first step in joining the elite triple crown club (Emmy\Oscar\Tony)?  I enjoy her, and she has a nice singing voice, could she even manage the elusive EGOT club?  She's already in the Oscar conversation this year for Love & Other Drugs, and I believe is just starting to burnish the princess image, and establishing herself as an actress of true range; hopefully the magic she provided in Rachel Getting Married was no fluke.  Ironically her Emmy win was for voicing "Princess Penelope" on an episode of The Simpsons.

Anyone shocked by Betty White's win?  Just wondering...not that I'm bad-mouthing it at all; her SNL appearance was event television without question.

One small quibble from a noteworthy guest acting list (Harris was pretty sweet in Glee!)-- wasn't John Lithgow a key plot point on Dexter, and perhaps more worthy in supporting actor, than merely guest star?
