The Emmys isn't usually the most thrilling award show, but this year a few surprises made us really take notice. While nobody was shocked to see The Sopranos take home the big prize, we didn't expect the show's cast to get shut out in every other category. 30 Rock definitely caught our attention by snagging the best comedy category, and we were so excited to see America take home an Emmy. The biggest upset of the night had to have been James Spader beating out some of our favorite actors like Masi Oka and James Gandolfini. What was up with that?

They all would have deserved it. Life's cruel!
1I can't believe James Spader won the emmy! UGH!
2I wanted either James Gandolfini or Hugh Laurie to win it!!
Ugly Betty!
3yes, i was still kinda hoping Sandra Oh had won!
4I am so happy that America won and Sally Field!
I am very surprised James Gandolfini did not win and the Academy realy should have given it to Hugh Laurie when deciding not to give it to James Gandolfini.
5i may be the only one who likes james spader in "Boston Legal". i've only caught that show a few times but he impressed the heck out of me. and he did acknowledge gandolfini in his speech, so he gets a class act award in my book. and i'm so glad 30 Rock won! i just wish ian mckellen had won for best guest star, i love him!
6WOW,I'm sorry people posting don't seem to appreciate James Spader as an actor, he has been in TV and film for 25+ years in so many varied roles, "Secretary" anyone?
but whatever, love him on Boston Legal, glad his work was acknowledged.
7james who ?
8we still love ya' gandolfini !
James Gandolfini and Steve Carrel were ROBBED!!!!!!!!!
9lots and lots and lots of surprises! pleasantly surprised by terry o'quinn and sally field. while i love katherine heigl, i'm not sure i'm as happy for her win...
10Puh-LEASE! If you ever watch Boston Legal, you will see why James Spader won. I am so happy he did! Yay!
11Spader is AMAZING! Its obvious that the people here who don't understand how he won have never even seen him in it, because there is NO denying that he is more than deserving!
12i LOVE james spader. i'm sooo glad gandolfini didn't win. blah, i'm tired of hearing about the sopranos. personally i was rooting for denis leary, but i'm thrilled about spader. i was bummed that steve carell didn't win though
and i'm not a katherine heigl fan, so i thought her win
was annoying.
oh yeah, woo hoo for terry o'quinn!!!
13katherine heigl should never have won -- not that i hate her acting but compared to the other ladies that were in her field i think she got very lucky! IMO sandra oh can act the pants off anyone!! esp Katherine
14umm does anyone have anything to say about how fox cut off sally field because she was making a comment about the war, freedom of speech is really going out the window.
15they did it too someone else too, but now I can't remember who, it was at the very beginning... anybody remember?
16The dresses at the Emmy were hideous..Eva Longoria shoes did not go with her dress at all...The only woman who looked pretty was Portia...Felicity scary bony lady talk about eating disorder. Debra Messing the dress was atrocious...
17i could not believe that they just cut away from sally field during her acceptance speech because she was criticizing the war!?! she wasn't using profanity and, whether you agree with her or not, i thought we still had freedom of speech around here... so messed up! whoever made that decision should be fired. the delay for live events on tv was not instituted to censor free speech.
and, yes, james gandolfini and edie falco were robbed --- for the last time
18love sandra
19How many times did Edie and James win before? I agree, though, they should have both won for the last time.
20Surprise!!! Kanye's wearing sunglasses!!! LOL...
Anyway, Sally Field should've been given the respect she deserves!!! Everyone does!!! But I'm glad that YOU and I know what she said and we can all agree that freedom of speech isn't really free at all.
SALLY FIELD FOR PRESIDENT
21lily3484...I think she was cut off because fox doesn't want her to polarize their audience...some people are for some against, and once she comes out with a strong opinion either way they may lose some of their audience for next year if the viewers disagree. although...the wards were for tv stuff right? not political?
22Sally Field was censored because she said a naughty word, just like Ray Romano. Not because she was criticizing the war.
Why did Ye Ole Fart like Tony Bennett win so much? The emmy voters are so out of touch with that one. I think its because its his last gasp.
23I'm with CCsugar...
24No, plenty of people were censored for "naughty" words - she was cut away from and a whole piece of her speech was lost. Coincidence that she was talking about the war? This is fox, of course it wasn't!
25You know how Fox is. They can put the most ridiculous shows on TV but they can't let a person give an opinion. Such BS! I want to know exactly what Sally was saying when they censored her.
26Yay for America!
27Bethly. She said "stop the G*dda*m war" thats why she was cut away. I saw the uncensored version.
28yeah, it was bullsh*t that they cut away from sally field.
i though masi was nominated in the best supporting actor category, but the blurb up to says james spader beat him. maybe i'm being dumb.
29Yeah Tatti!!
30"oh yeah, woo hoo for terry o'quinn!!!"
ME TOO
! yay LOCKE! lol i was shocked he won but he deserved the recognition 
31I am mainly just against James Spader wining because he has won before and James G. and Hugh L. were deserving of an Emmy too.
32yeah music^ thats true, james spader wining was sorta random, i dont even watch house and i thought Hugh Laurie shoulda won, from my friends that watch house lol they were PISSED james spader won, and i do not know one person that watches boston legal
so whatever lol
33Sally said if mothers ran the world there would be no G*dd*am wars. I agree with her.
34Sally said if mothers ran the world there would be no G*dd*am wars. I agree with her.
35That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard...IF mothers ran the country there would be nothing but wars all the time--have ANY of you EVER been to a high school sports game where the mothers of the athletes are in attendance? And I have never seen anyone more aggressive of protecting their own than a mother....if mothers had been running the country when 911 happened we woudn't be at war because they would have nuked iraq, afghanastan, and anyone else involved and been done with it. seriously.
