Robin Veith will not be back for season four of &quot;Mad Men.&quot; The assistant who was with Matt Weiner nearly a decade ago when he was writing the pilot on spec has decided to leave the nest. Robin&#39;s segs include some of &quot;Mad Men&#39;s&quot; best, including &quot;The Wheel&quot; (season one finale), &quot;The New Girl,&quot; &quot;A Night to Remember&quot; and &quot;The Mountain King.&quot; Good luck and godspeed to Robin.</em></strong></p><p>Struggle seems to be the overriding theme of this seg of &quot;Mad Men&quot;: The struggles of a changing society, the emotional struggles of men and women, of the powerful and the subservient and the classic id-superego struggle to balance impulse and reason. (As voiced by Harry Crane when he finds himself in a pickle: &quot;I&#39;m not going to panic and do something stupid like I usually do.&quot;)</p> <p>There was a fair amount of plot movement to digest in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/episode309"><span style="color: #40007f;"><strong>&quot;Wee Small Hours,&quot;</strong></span></a> even if at first blush it didn&#39;t seem so. Betty takes a big step forward with Henry Francis but then turns on a dime and jumps three steps back. (Run, Henry, run!) </p> <p>Our beloved Salvatore gets battered and bruised, professionally and sexually, and we&#39;re left with a big hint that he&#39;s heading into the wilds at a moment when he&#39;s wounded and vulnerable.</p> <p>Don&#39;s weird power tango with Conrad Hilton continues at a feverish pace, and I think his frustration with that relationship has a whole lot to do with how demanding he becomes of the coltish Miss Farrell later on. And we see that no one at Sterling Cooper is running hotter under the collar these days than Roger Sterling. He&#39;s reduced to yelling for recognition of what value he provides to the agency these days. (Roger: &quot;What do you think accounts does besides limit your brilliance?&quot; Don: &quot;I&#39;d tell you but I don&#39;t want to hurt your feelings.&quot;)</p> <p>Perhaps most intriguing to me in this episode, penned by Dahvi Waller and Matthew Weiner and helmed by exec producer Scott Hornbacher, was the advancement of the Hilton-as-Don&#39;s-father-figure storyline. Where the heck is this going? Beats me, but I don&#39;t mind. I love watching Chelcie Ross work. The exchanges between those two after Don delivers his trademark killer sales pitch for the international Hilton campaign, when the batty cowboy is criticizing Don for not giving him &quot;the moon,&quot; as he&#39;d asked, was such a father-son encounter that they didn&#39;t even try to mask it.</p> <p>&quot;What do you want from me, love? Fine, your work is good,&quot; Connie says in a patronizing, fatherly tone. &quot;But when I say I want the moon I expect the moon!&quot; </p><br/> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-9-wee-small-hours.html#more"> Continue reading " "Mad Men": Episode 9, "Wee Small Hours" " &raquo;</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-9-wee-small-hours.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/Mad%2BMen" rel="tag">Mad Men</a> </p> </div> <p class="entry-footer"><span class="footer-left" style="float:left"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 11:03 PM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/mad_men/">Mad Men</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-9-wee-small-hours.html">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-9-wee-small-hours.html#comments"> Comments ( 1 )</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-9-wee-small-hours.html#trackback"> TrackBack ( 0 )</a> </span> <span class="link" id="sharethis" style="vertical-align:top;position:relative; z-index:1;"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var share_url = document.location + "?ref=sharethis"; SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:""Mad Men": Episode 9, "Wee Small Hours"", summary:""Mad Men": Episode 9, "Wee Small Hours"", url:share_url, icon: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://path.to/icon' }, {button:true} ); </script> </span> </p> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a6229efc970c"> <h3 class="entry-header"> <span class="date-header"><span class="smalldate"> October </span><br> 7 </span> <span class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/who-am-i-.html"> Who am I? </a></span> </h3> </mtweblogpostifshow> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a6229ea2970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="PHOTO-BobBarkerWWIINavalAviator" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a6229ea2970c image-full " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a6229ea2970c-800wi" title="PHOTO-BobBarkerWWIINavalAviator"/></a> <strong><br/>Can you identify this Navy man?</strong></p> <p>Hint: He just gave $3 million to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which is building a rehabilitation facility for wounded U.S. military personnel at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.</p> <p>Bigger hint: Plinko!</p><p>It&#39;s Bob Barker, who served in the Navy as an aviator during WWII.

(Yes, &quot;Summer in the City&quot; is 1966 and thus not strictly of &quot;Mad Men&#39;s&quot; mid-1963 moment but &quot;La Dolce Vita&quot; is 1960, so I figure it all evens out.)</p> <p>This episode, written by Lisa Albert and Matthew Weiner and helmed by Phil Abraham, found Don and Betty unexpectedly winging to Rome at Conrad Hilton&#39;s behest for a 48-hour jaunt that seemed to do wonders for their relationship at a pivotal moment for Betty -- at least until they got home. The other major subplot was Pete&#39;s struggle to deal with his internal emotional conflicts, his urges and, clearly, his habit of self-medicating with alcohol. And we got an answer to the question &quot;Mad Men&quot; fanatics have been asking since &quot;Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency&quot; -- where&#39;s Joan?</p> <p>&quot;Souvenir&quot; was a tour de force for January Jones, who was so good in so many moments, big and small, that they are too numerous to mention. Like her leading man, Jon Hamm, Jones can speak volumes without uttering a word. It was also a fabulous showcase for Vincent Kartheiser, who&#39;s overdue this season for a great spotlight seg. It starts on the page, for sure, but Kartheiser&#39;s talent has done so much to add dimension to Pete.</p> <p>On paper, he&#39;s a character I should loathe -- especially after his inexcusable, border-line criminal behavior with the German au pair down the hall -- but I don&#39;t, because Kartheiser has humanized him so much.</p> <p>But back to Betty. Jones was so good in this episode that I almost stopped hating Betty, at least until her natural petulance got the better of her at the end. We got a little bit of everything from Betty this episode -- past, present and the future she would like to have versus the future that she faces under her present circumstances.</p><br/> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html#more"> Continue reading " "Mad Men": Episode 8, "Souvenir" " &raquo;</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/Mad%2BMen" rel="tag">Mad Men</a> </p> </div> <p class="entry-footer"> <span class="footer-left" style="float:left"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 12:35 AM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/mad_men/">Mad Men</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html#comments"> Comments ( 8 )</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html#trackback"> TrackBack ( 0 )</a> </span> <span class="link" id="sharethis" style="vertical-align:top;position:relative; z-index:1;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var share_url = "https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/10/mad-men-episode-8-souvenir.html?ref=sharethis"; SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:""Mad Men": Episode 8, "Souvenir"", summary:""Mad Men": Episode 8, "Souvenir"", url:share_url, icon: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://path.to/icon' }, {button:true} ); </script> </span> </p> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5a344de970b"> <h3 class="entry-header"> <span class="date-header"><span class="smalldate"> September </span><br> 28 </span> <span class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html"> "Mad Men": Episode 7, "Seven Twenty Three" </a></span> </h3> </mtweblogpostifshow> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p> </p><p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5a5b8dd970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Madmen3sevendon" border="0" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5a5b8dd970b image-full " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5a5b8dd970b-800wi" title="Madmen3sevendon"/></a> </p> <p></p> <p>Duck and cover. This was the gloves-off, throw-it-in-your-face edition of &quot;Mad Men.&quot;</p> <p>Our master manipulator, Don Draper, finds himself in the very unfamiliar position of being pushed around and jerked around by seemingly everyone he comes into contact with -- from Conrad Hilton to Sally&#39;s school teacher to the sleazy hitchhikers he picks up on the lonesome road to nowheresville. </p> <p>The episode titled <strong><span style="color: #7f003f;">&quot;Seven Twenty Three&quot; </span></strong>ends with the ultimate indignity for &quot;Mad Men&#39;s&quot; man of mystery. Bert Cooper puts aside his crazy old codger routine to bend Don to his will by using Kryptonite -- the knowledge that Don Draper isn&#39;t who he says he is at all. A lot of old demons come back to haunt Don in this episode -- and you get the feeling that the witching hour isn&#39;t over for him, not by a long shot. The solar eclipse motif had obvious symbolism in an episode in which Don&#39;s mental health seems to be spiraling out of control, again.</p> <p>Don was the white-hot center of this riveting hour, but we also got some heavy duty material for Peggy and Betty. This episode was beautifully written -- noticeably good even by &quot;Mad Men&quot; standards -- by Andre Jacquemetton, Maria Jacquemetton and Matthew Weiner and directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer. There wasn&#39;t a bad line in it, as far as I&#39;m concerned, and the plot development seemed to gallop along, even though we don&#39;t really know everything nor where things will end up. (We do know one thing -- the escalation of the Vietnam war is definitely looming as a transformative and traumatic event for&#0160;American culture. We know, unfortunately, how that storyline ends.)</p> <p>&quot;When it comes right down to it, who&#39;s really signing this contract anyway,&quot; Bert Cooper tells Don with a malevolent grin. Oh cut him to the quick, Bert. Jon Hamm is&#0160;incredible in&#0160;registering the agony of this moment for Don with barely a word. It seems as if&#0160;Don made himself forget that way back in season one Pete Campbell picked up a few threads of the Don Draper/Dick Whitman subterfuge and tried to butter his own bread by outing Don to Bert.</p> <p></p> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html#more"> Continue reading " "Mad Men": Episode 7, "Seven Twenty Three" " &raquo;</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/Mad%2BMen" rel="tag">Mad Men</a> </p> </div> <p class="entry-footer"> <span class="footer-left" style="float:left"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 01:09 AM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/mad_men/">Mad Men</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html#comments"> Comments ( 5 )</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html#trackback"> TrackBack ( 0 )</a> </span> <span class="link" id="sharethis" style="vertical-align:top;position:relative; z-index:1;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var share_url = "https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-7-seven-twenty-three.html?ref=sharethis"; SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:""Mad Men": Episode 7, "Seven Twenty Three"", summary:""Mad Men": Episode 7, "Seven Twenty Three"", url:share_url, icon: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://path.to/icon' }, {button:true} ); </script> </span> </p> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5e2761c970c"> <h3 class="entry-header"> <span class="date-header"><span class="smalldate"> September </span><br> 24 </span> <span class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html"> "Mad Men": Episode 6, "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" </a></span> </h3> </mtweblogpostifshow> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p><em> <p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a594735f970b-pi" style="DISPLAY: inline"><img alt="Madmen3guywalksindonjoan" border="0" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a594735f970b image-full " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a594735f970b-800wi" title="Madmen3guywalksindonjoan"/></a> </p></em> <p></p> <p></p> <p><em><strong>&quot;One minute you&#39;re on top of the world. The next minute some secretary is running you over with a lawn mower.&quot;</strong></em></p> <p>This was quite possibly the most action-packed, darkly comic and confounding episodes of &quot;Mad Men&quot; yet. I&#39;ve been trying to sort it out for two days now and I still don&#39;t have many conclusions about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/episode306"><span style="COLOR: #6000bf"><strong>&quot;Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency.&quot;</strong></span></a> From the title on down, it&#39;s a rip-snorter. But what does it all mean??</p> <p>I know the story thread about Sally Draper and her need for a night light was symbolic of being afraid of the dark, or fear of the unknown. I know it wasn&#39;t accidental that Joan&#39;s big moment with her creepy husband came in the dark, after she fell asleep waiting for the bastard that she supports even after she calls him out for being drunk and for telling her an abject lie.</p> <p>I know it had to be a conscious decision by scribes Robin Veith and Matthew Weiner (I noticed Veith got top billing) that this episode had more uses of the term &quot;Mrs. Harris&quot; than any other, as it to reinforce to Joan as she&#39;s on her way out the door that she is no longer herself, but her husband&#39;s wife.</p> <p>I know that Harry Crane&#39;s line &quot;What just happened here?&quot; after the board room coup instigated by the doomed Brit executive Guy was clearly meant to encapsulate the randomness of life in the business world and life in the cosmic scheme of things. It takes&#0160;someone else&#0160;to explain to&#0160;Harry&#0160;that he&#39;s&#0160;the only one who got an actual boost in responsibility in the reorg that was so cheerily and quickly detailed by Guy Smiley.</p> <p>It took me longer than that to realize that the hierarchy laid out by the Brit emissaries not only leaves Roger Sterling out (duh?) but also essentially demotes Don as he would have had to work under&#0160;<span style="text-decoration: line-through">share authority with</span> Guy Mackendrick. Yes, I know Don&#39;s crestfallen&#0160;look should have made this clear but I can be a little Harry-ish at times, especially when engrossed in this show.</p> <p>And then what happens next in this show is straight out of &quot;The Twilight Zone.&quot; The lawn mower that Ken Cosgrove so playfully rides into the office to illustrate his latest account snaring coup becomes the lethal weapon that takes Guy&#39;s foot and kills his career, in the eyes of his corporate overseers. Office parties at Sterling Cooper are just plain dangerous. And of course, it would be <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Lola!</span>&#0160;Lois! Of course!</p> <p>The scene in which Lois and the lawn mower go out of control was as jarring a scene of random violence as anything I&#39;ve ever seen on TV.</p> <br/> </p> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html#more"> Continue reading " "Mad Men": Episode 6, "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" " &raquo;</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/AMC" rel="tag">AMC</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/Mad%2BMen" rel="tag">Mad Men</a> </p> </div> <p class="entry-footer"> <span class="footer-left" style="float:left"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 11:24 AM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/amc/">AMC</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/mad_men/">Mad Men</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html#comments"> Comments ( 3 )</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html#trackback"> TrackBack ( 0 )</a> </span> <span class="link" id="sharethis" style="vertical-align:top;position:relative; z-index:1;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var share_url = "https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/mad-men-episode-5-guy-walks-into-an-advertising-agency-.html?ref=sharethis"; SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:""Mad Men": Episode 6, "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" ", summary:""Mad Men": Episode 6, "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" ", url:share_url, icon: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://path.to/icon' }, {button:true} ); </script> </span> </p> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5e69d33970c"> <h3 class="entry-header"> <span class="date-header"><span class="smalldate"> September </span><br> 22 </span> <span class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/tom-selleck-fighting-the-good-fight-for-jesse-stone.html"> Tom Selleck: Fighting the good fight for Jesse Stone </a></span> </h3> </mtweblogpostifshow> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p> <p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5e69cb7970c-pi" style="FLOAT: left"><img alt="Tomselleckjessestone" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5e69cb7970c " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5e69cb7970c-350wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px; WIDTH: 350px"/></a> </p> If Tom Selleck had his way, Jesse Stone would be the new Lt.

To paraphrase Leo Tolstoy (with apologies), all happy families are alike, and all Emmy after-parties are fun in their own way.</p> <p>The &quot;Entertainment Tonight&quot;-People magazine bash at Vibiana was bouncy and upbeat -- a good place to eat with Susan Feniger making the rounds and plugging her eats. I ate my share of those mini ice cream sandwiches and mini chocolate-dipped cones provided by Milk (yum!). </p> <p>A few laps around the venue where you can still see plenty of evidence of the cathedral that it once was and just as the night&#39;s surprise guest, Mary J. Blige, got cranking, we made a dash for the 40-pound swag bag and the valet line. (I had good luck with valet parking all night -- no tortuous waits at all.)</p> <p>HBO was the spectacle of spectacles, as always -- HUGE crowd at the Pacific Design Center. Big dance floor with a very energetic Afro-Cuban percussion band perched on the second story to keep the atmosphere pulsating. A short set of vintage Michael Jackson tunes also got people off their seats.</p> <p>AMC was a nice post 1 a.m. capper at the Chateau Marmont. It was quite busy -- the &quot;Flight of the Conchords&quot; dudes arrived shortly before 2 a.m. -- but somehow still intimate, and of course had the winner&#39;s aura that was visible from Sunset Boulevard. It also had more smokers per capita than any other event (why am I not surprised?). </p> <p>Matt Weiner was soaking up the congratulations and promising us that we ain&#39;t seen nothing yet as far as this season was concerned. Two sweet moments observed while squeezing my way around the crowd: Jon Hamm and January Jones playfully going it at as if they were, well, an old married couple, and Hamm <p class="asset asset-image">administering a bear hug to Bryan Cranston for winning in the category in which Hamm was nommed. They say character is what you do when no one&#39;s looking, and I&#39;d also say that character is what you do as 2 a.m. approaches on an awards night after (presumably) a few drinks.</p> <p></p> <p>I enjoyed the heck out of each event, but was most touched by a moment with actress Shohreh Aghdashloo <p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5869f93970b-pi" style="FLOAT: right"><img alt="Shohrehaghdashloo" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5869f93970b " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5869f93970b-300wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px; WIDTH: 300px"/></a> </p>at the HBO party. After talking about her win for &quot;House of Saddam,&quot; I asked her about the comments she made backstage about the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://iamiran.org/"><span style="COLOR: #007f40"><strong><span style="COLOR: #007f40">green rubber bracelet</span></strong></span></a> (<em>pictured right</em>) she was wearing as a symbol of support for her fellow Iranians who&#0160;are&#0160;fighting for democracy and protesting the official results of the June presidential election. <p>Her eloquence on the situation facing her homeland is facing was quite stirring, and it reminded me that the problem hasn&#39;t gone away just because it&#39;s moved off the front pages of U.S. newspapers. As we spoke, she took off her bracelet, inscribed &quot;I Am Iran,&quot; and slipped it onto my wrist. I&#39;m honored to wear it.</p> <p><em>(More to come on the Emmy party scene once I get a second wind and maybe 20 winks...)</em></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p></p></p> </div> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-the-afterparty-the-afterafterparty-and-the-afterafterafterparty.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/emmys" rel="tag">emmys</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/iran" rel="tag">iran</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://technorati.com/tag/shohreh%2Baghdashloo" rel="tag">shohreh aghdashloo</a> </p> </div> <p class="entry-footer"> <span class="footer-left" style="float:left"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 03:07 AM </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-the-afterparty-the-afterafterparty-and-the-afterafterafterparty.html">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-the-afterparty-the-afterafterparty-and-the-afterafterafterparty.html#comments"> Comments ( 1 )</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-the-afterparty-the-afterafterparty-and-the-afterafterafterparty.html#trackback"> TrackBack ( 0 )</a> </span> <span class="link" id="sharethis" style="vertical-align:top;position:relative; z-index:1;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var share_url = "https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-the-afterparty-the-afterafterparty-and-the-afterafterafterparty.html?ref=sharethis"; SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:"Emmys: The afterparty, the after-afterparty and the after-after-afterparty", summary:"Emmys: The afterparty, the after-afterparty and the after-after-afterparty", url:share_url, icon: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://path.to/icon' }, {button:true} ); </script> </span> </p> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5dc11d9970c"> <h3 class="entry-header"> <span class="date-header"><span class="smalldate"> September </span><br> 20 </span> <span class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2009/09/emmys-and-were-off-.html"> Emmys: And we're off ... </a></span> </h3> </mtweblogpostifshow> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p> <p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5859d40970b-pi" style="FLOAT: left"><img alt="Emmysnph1" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5859d40970b " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5859d40970b-400wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px; WIDTH: 375px"/></a> </p>5:01: Opening with a funny newsreel type cheeky discussion of television. <p></p> <p>Big entry for Neil Patrick Harris with -- what else? -- a musical number, &quot;Put Down the Remote&quot;. He looks adorable in a white tux. We&#39;ll have to get the transcipt of this tune. Already we&#39;ve got more laughs than last year. Whoo hoo!</p> <p>5:05: &quot;I grew up on television.&quot; It&#39;s true, he did.</p> <p>5:06: &quot;It&#39;s my job to make sure things run smoothly tonight. Here&#39;s hoping Kanye West likes &quot;30 Rock.&quot;</p> <p>5:07: Neil gives us a tour of the stage -- band out front, and we even get a window on the control room. He explains the division of the presentation of awards by genre. Now a comedy clip package. </p> <p>5:10: Clip ends with Jon Hamm from his guest shot on &quot;30 Rock.&quot; Is this a sign? And now Hamm and Tina Fey are our first presenters. &quot;Comedy is just drama with less smoking,&quot; Hamm explains of his guest shot on &quot;30 Rock.&quot;</p> <p>5:12: All the supporting comedy actress nominees have glasses props. Except Vanessa Williams. Kristin Chenoweth wins for &quot;Pushing Daisies.&quot; She tells us that the glasses was her fellow nominee Amy Poehler&#39;s idea. I&#39;m unemployed now so I&#39;d like to be on Mad Men. I also like &quot;The Office&quot; and &quot;24.&quot; Tearful and adorable. Fey looks like she&#39;s holding Chenoweth up as they walk off stage. She&#39;s tiny! <p class="asset asset-image"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5dc1d7a970c-pi" style="FLOAT: right"><img alt="Emmys09kc" class="at-xid-6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5dc1d7a970c " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091016130257im_/http://weblogs.variety.com/.a/6a00d8341bfc7553ef0120a5dc1d7a970c-200wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px; WIDTH: 175px"/></a> </p> <p></p> <p>5:15: Big plug for CBS&#39; TV.com service. Sending viewers there to go&#0160;vote for their &#39;Breakthrough&quot; moment of the year in TV, the winner to be announced&#0160;later in the night. Seems awfully self-serving but&#0160;I suppose you can&#39;t&#0160;blame them for trying&#0160;to get some added-value from the Emmycast.<br/>&#0160;</p> <p>5:21: &quot;How I Met Your Mother&quot; gang&#0160;comes out to present. Harris promises he won&#39;t spend the whole show plugging his show. Matt Hubbard of &quot;30 Rock&quot; wins the comedy writing Emmy. Walter Patterson, why&#39;d you punch this guy? (Hubbard thanked him for punching him in the 8th grade and &quot;turning me into a comedy writer.&quot;)</p> <p>5:21: Interesting that they&#39;re doing little flash promos during the show plugging what&#39;s upcoming. &quot;Justin Timberlake and Gossip Girls in 6 minutes.&quot;</p> <p>5:24: Julia Louis-Dreyfus presenting, saying she&#39;s honored to present on &quot;the last official year of network television.&quot; Hey, &quot;Old Christine&quot; got picked up and in it&#39;s in syndication. Why the negativity?

Good for him! He&#39;s earned it and so has &quot;Two and a Half Men.&quot;&#0160;He seems like he&#39;s rehearsed his jokey remarks about awards being the &quot;only true measure of&#0160; a persons&#39;s real&#0160;worth as a human being.&quot; But as he walks off, Cryer looks pretty stunned. <p></p> <p>5:32: We&#39;re getting our first winner backstage, Jon Cryer. Applause. Apparently his backstage remarks are going live on the show? At least that&#39;s what they just told us. &quot;They&#39;re doing a bit apparently, that they&#39;re setting me up for,&quot; he explains. He can&#39;t believe he beat out Harris. &quot;Neil Patrick Harris is killing it and he does that every week on the show.&quot;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>5:35: Jon Cryer&#39;s yakking and Toni Collette of Showtime&#39;s &quot;United States of Tara&quot; wins for lead comedy actress. Now that&#39;s a surprise. &quot;I attribute it to wearing a sweater vest on one of the hottest days of the year,&quot; Cryer says in response to the question about what he attributes the win to. He&#39;s vamping while they wait for the &#39;bit&#39; to begin.</p> <p></p> <p>5:37: Now we&#39;re seeing Cryer backstage on the telecast. He&#39;s bantering with Harris.&#0160;Begs the question of whether this bit was reserved for a CBS winner. </p> <p>5:41:A segment with non-star nominees talking about what it&#39;s like to be nommed for an Emmy. Jeffrey Blitz wins comedy series helming for &quot;The Office,&quot; the &quot;Stress Relief&quot; seg. I&#39;m surprised that so far no snarky mentions of the plan to time&#0160;shift some award categories.</p> <p>5:48: Here comes itty bitty Kristin Chenoweth. She&#39;s all sequins. &quot;Were you expecting to cry?&quot; </p> <p>5:50: Oh for pete&#39;s sake. Alec Baldwin wins comedy actor. JIM PARSONS people JIM PARSONS. What&#39;s wrong with you voters!!! Now I&#39;m seriously bummed. </p> <p>5:53: Chenoweth is choking up again, talking about her mother. On the big stage it&#39;s a reality clip package.</p> <p>5:56: Dance number from the &quot;Dancing&#0160;With the Stars&quot; hoofers whose names I can never remember, let alone spell. A good chance for everyone to&#0160;catch up&#0160;on their writing.&#0160;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>5:58: Toni Collette looks radiant. Bright pink strapless number with lots of ruffles. She&#39;s so Austraaaallllyan. (Hey look, Jeff Probst just won reality host for &quot;Survivor.&quot;) Ooh love Toni Collette. She just shot back to an idiotic question, &#39;Is there a question in there?&quot; Oh, the whole cougar phenomenon. She&#39;s not having any of it.&#0160;&quot;That&#39;s someone else&#39;s fantasy.&quot;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:05: Tracy Morgan presents the reality-competition award. He wonders why &quot;30 Rock&quot; wasn&#39;t nommed in this category. &quot;The Amazing Race&quot; for the 900th time. (Actually it&#39;s the seventh.)</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:09: Harris gets a laugh out of the &quot;Amazing Race&quot; win. &quot;Unbelievable. Upsets at every turn!&quot; </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:12: Shohreh Aghdashloo wins for &quot;House of Saddam&quot; for supporting longform actress. She&#39;s got a sexy deep voice. Hey there&#39;s a siren going off backstage. No kidding. Oh, it just stopped.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:14: Ken Howard wins longform supporting actor for &quot;Grey Gardens.&quot; He may also win the SAG presidential election next week. He&#39;s got a sense of humor. &quot;I&#39;m going to make my speech as brief as possible in the hopes it won&#39;t be interrupted by a Congressman or a rapper.&quot; Awww, he dedicates it to his wife, today&#39;s her birthday.</p> <p>6:22: Brendan Gleeson for &quot;Into the Storm&quot; for lead longform actor. </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:26: Jeff Probst backstage talking up his win, but we&#39;re taking him to task for&#0160;the bad hosting job on&#0160;last year&#39;s show. &quot;Five people hosting a show is not a good idea. As Howie (Mandel) said, Everybody knows six is the magic number. It was just a failure.&quot;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:30: Probst is going on and on while there&#39;s a cute bit on the show with Neil Patrick Harris in his Dr. Horrible persona. But I can&#39;t hear it. I do now&#0160;know, however, that Probst is not on Twitter. &quot;I&#39;m not there yet.&quot;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:33: Wow. Jessica Lange wins over Drew Barrymore for &quot;Grey Gardens&quot; Drew Barrymore is smiling big but I can&#39;t believe she&#39;s not flummoxed.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:35: &quot;The Amazing Race&quot; mob was just backstage talking up Lucky No. 7 -- which I&#39;m going to whip into a sidebar in my spare time. </p> <p>6:42: &quot;Grey Gardens&quot; wins. I told you back at press tour in January people this one was going to go far. I&#39;m so happy for Michael Sucsy, the director-writer behind this rendition of the Bouvier story. </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:45: &quot;Little Dorrit&quot; wins for miniseries. Damn, Emmy voters really do hate David Simon, whose &quot;Generation Kill&quot; was the only other nominee in the category.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:49: Shohreh Aghdashloo&#0160;is talking about important stuff for sure, Middle Eastern issues, as dealt with in &quot;House of Saddam.&quot; But darnit we&#39;re missing the &quot;Big Bang Theory&quot; thesps presenting an award.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:55: &quot;Daily Show&quot; wins again for comedy writing. If the show wins again it&#39;ll be seven in a row for them too.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>6:59: Alec Baldwin is back with us. He looks very mellow, for Alec Baldwin. Especially since he&#39;s hit immediately with an inane question about whether he can get Robert Pattinson for a guest shot on &quot;30 Rock.&quot; What about running for political office? &quot;Not something I&#39;m prepared to do with my life -- now.&quot; Who&#39;s the one guest star you&#39;d like to have on &quot;30 Rock.&quot; Without a pause -- &quot;McCartney.&quot; He says they&#39;re &quot;working on&quot; getting the cute Beatle on the show. Baldwin says he loves &quot;Flight of the Conchords,&quot; calling out Jemaine Clement.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:08: Ricky Gervais on stage, &quot;Little Dorrit&quot; team backstage. You do the math.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:14: &quot;American Idol&quot; director Bruce Gowers has no regrets about Paula Abdul&#39;s departure. With Ellen DeGeneres coming on board, he tells us backstage, &quot;It will be a lot more fun and the ratings will be higher than ever before.</p> <p>7:15: &quot;Thanks for agreeing not to speak,&quot; Harris tells TV Acad prexy John Shaffner. Nice touch!</p> <p>7:20: Ben! Michael Emerson wins for supporting drama actor, second year in a row.&#0160;&quot;One day I flew to Hawaii to do a guest shot...&quot; His is a good story and he&#39;s a fine actor.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:23: Dan Harmon, creator of &quot;Community,&quot; is backstage for his win for music and lyrics for the Oscars opening number this year. He&#39;s plugging his show because there aren&#39;t too many questions for them. </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:25: Nice &quot;In Memoriam&quot; segment with&#0160;Sarah McLachlan&#0160;doing &quot;I Will Remember You&quot; live. It included our own Army Archerd. </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:35: Ellen Burstyn and Michael J. Fox presenting the drama directing award. I admire Fox more than I can express. He is a brave man.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:41: The &quot;Grey Gardens&quot; mob is backstage. Jessica Lange is doing all the talking. No Drew. And Glenn Close has just won lead drama actress for &quot;Damages&quot; -- over Elisabeth Moss??<br/></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:49: Bryan Cranston for &quot;Breaking Bad&quot; wins lead drama actor. I was hoping for a slice of Hamm. &quot;I&#39;m a poor kid from the Valley I don&#39;t know what I&#39;m doing up here.&quot; </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>7:51: Bob Newhart presents the comedy series award. &quot;30 Rock&quot; -- again. Wow. &quot;That was a nail-biter,&quot; Tina Fey says. Even she&#39;s not terribly excited.</p> <p>7:54: Brendan Gleeson is going on and on. With all due respect...</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>8:00: &quot;Mad Men&quot; wins for drama. Can&#39;t argue with that even if an upset would have been better copy.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>(FYI, the blogging had to take a backseat to sidebars for tomorrow&#39;s print editon but I&#39;ll fill in more later...)</p></p></p></p> </div> <!-- technorati tags --> <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a
