Twice during the Emmy's FOX cut to an obscured view and I wasn't sure what was going on. I thought maybe they were censoring but it could have been a glitch too. They showed most of this speech and cut off only from 1:30 into this, another words the last sentence. Lame.
BTW, it was an odd production with seemingly random things included. Lewis Black had a diatribe against network executives that was almost funny but irrelevant. At one point the cast of the Sopranos went on stage I guess to commemorate the end of a once great show. No one said anything though so it was kinda strange. It became even more useless when later it won Best Drama and the whole cast and crew were up on stage for real this time.
The theater-in-the-round stage was ok for TV but otherwise strange. It wasn't really theater in the round since all the action faced one direction the whole night. So as James Spader pointed out in his acceptance speech, half the stars had the worst seats ever.
The best part of the night was Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert presenting an award (lead actor in a comedy?) that Ricky Gervais won but since he wasn't there, they decided to give it to Steve Carrell who ran up on stage and accepted it.
