I thought so too, but the real "in Memorium" was one of the classiest in recent memory. By using Marvin Hamlisch's "The Way We Were", they avoided the recent trap of the "In Memorium" being more about the singer than the people being remembered. And it was nice to see Ron Howard say a few words about Andy Griffith.mattCR said:Am I the only one who thought the fake "In Memorium" thing was pretty disrespectful?
"Homeland" far and away deserved to win Best Drama Series. "Modern Family" wasn't the best comedy series, but it was probably the best of the series nominated. I was very impressed with Julianne Moore's take on Sarah Palin, but otherwise I don't get the love for "Game Change". Both "American Horror Story" and "Sherlock" were executed far more successfully.
And man, they really wanted to bring this year's show in on time. Some of the winners barely got on stage before the music was cutting them off. They really sped up the last quarter of the show, and cutting off both the drama series winners and the comedy series winners when you're already on time just doesn't make much sense. Especially since ABC essentially just cut off its own top-rated show.
