HBO's 'Game Change' wins the Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie - @THR

  • Welcome to The Hollywood Reporter's live coverage of the Primetime Emmy Awards. We're updating from backstage and inside the audience.

  • Now they are rushing the winners through the press room, everyone is getting to answer only a few questions. Is everyone ready to party
    ?

  • "It felt like reality television to me." -- Jay Roach on #GameChange #Emmys

  • I thought Kimmel navigated the Emmys best by getting out of the way for the most part. He put the emphasis on shows/actors.

  • #GameChange's Jay Roach tips his hat to Julianne Moore, says he knew there'd be side-by-side comparisons to Palin. #Emmys

  • "Game Change" director Jay Roach says he knew the movie would be under a lot of scrutiny, so "It was important for us to get it right"

  • #GameChange's Jay Roach backstage: "Anyone have any questions about politics? I know a lot about tennis."

  • Might not agree with all the winners, but that was the most consistently funny and entertaining awards show in recent memory.

  • Julianne Moore notes that she meant to give shout-outs to both Fey and Couric during her #Emmys acceptance speech.

  • From cruelty comes something to be proud of: Great shows being "snubbed" because other great shows won. TV is killing it these days.

  • Julianne Moore gives Tina Fey and Katie Couric a shout-out backstage, says both were very influential in 2008 election. #Emmys

  • Julianne Moore says Tina Fey and Katie Couric were
    "incredibly influential in 2008 election"

  • From the press room --
    Julianne Moore on "Game Change": "This is a story about really not as much about Sarah Palin as it is about our political process."

  • Thinking Jon Cryer and Kevin Costner are worst picks tonight...more will come to me.

  • #GameChange's Julianne Moore, not expecting Palin response says "this is not as much about Palin as it is about our political process."

  • RT @DaveWalkerTP: #Treme explained: 'Knock With Me, Rock With Me:' bit.ly
  • "We thought it was cooler the more truthful it could be." -- Danny Strong #GameChange #Emmys

  • ModFam is not my favorite comedy. Louie, Girls, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, etc. But still, it's not an egregious oversight when ModFam wins.

  • #GameChange's Danny Strong on #Emmys consequences: "When you get criticized for being unfair, you know that you were." #Emmys

  • #GameChange's Danny Strong on tackling politics: "The stakes are unbelievably high -- and you have fantastic characters." #Emmys

  • OK, just turned off the channel. But still thinking about the Emmys. Anyone want to start off the bitching on who got robbed?

  • We're in a holding pattern in the press room. No one has come through in quite some time. Yet to come: Julianne Moore, Kevin Costner, Jessica Lange, and the entire groups from "Homeland," "Game Change" and "Modern Family."

  • Seriously, I can see getting all vexed about, say, Two and A Half Men winning every year. But ModFam is funny. Always has been. So, relax.

  • The mad dash to the governor's ball begins... now. p.twimg.com
