A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

THE AWARDS WERE GIVEN IN A SPECIAL BOX AT WAIST LEVEL: Last night, the Creative Arts Emmys were presented (a/k/a: all those categories that usually no one cares about). Winners included a number of ALOTT5MA faves and focuses (foci?), including:

• Friday Night Lights (Outstanding Casting For A Drama Series)
• Elaine Stritch (Outstanding Guest Actress/Comedy, 30 Rock)
• House (the episode with the really, really, obsese guy who dies of cancer, for prosthetic makeup)
• TAR (for reality program editing and cinematography)
• Dexter (for main title design and editing)
• HIMYM (outstanding art direction, for three episodes, including the ones with the quietly vanished blue horn)
• Wade Robson and Mia Michaels (choreography)
• Timberlake, Samberg, et al. (outstanding original song, "D**k in a Box")
• South Park (outstanding animated program, "Make Love, Not Warcraft")
• Battlestar Galactica (outstanding visual effects)
• Rome (cinematography, art design, hairstyling)
• Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (outstanding guest actor, drama, John Goodman)
• Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List (Best Reality Program, distinguished from Best Reality: Competition Program, over Penn & Teller: B******t and Crying and Hugging Time With Ty Pennington)
• Spike Lee (outstanding director, nonfiction programming, for When the Levees Broke)

Some inexplicables (Stanley Tucci beating Martin Landau and Beau Bridges for Guest Actor/Comedy, Leslie Caron beating Kate Burton for Guest Actress/Drama, The Tudors beating 30 Rock for theme music) but a pretty good series of awards.
