Well, hubsters, it’s that time of year again. If your TV runs off to hide tonight, it may be due to the number of times you have thrown things at it, after the announcement of our hero’s categories, so I would bolt it down now. Hey, at least Neil Patrick Harris is hosting again. We should be able to enjoy some of the show. On a serious note, Good Luck to all the nominees!

Here are some of the articles that have been buzzing about this year’s Emmys. Perhaps a subtitle for this post could be “Will The Colbert Report finally beat The Daily Show?” edition.

With voting getting underway for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, Stephen Colbert is hitting the campaign trail … for his competition.

The Colbert Report host and executive producer has taken out a For Your Consideration ad, appearing in this week’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter, in which he makes a pitch for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Real Time With Bill Maher, Saturday Night Live and perennial winner The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

“Stephen Colbert urges you to at least consider these other fine shows,” it reads, above a smiling Colbert gesturing towards his fellow nominees. “It’s not about Emmy, it’s about Emm-us.”

The gesture, targeting voters for the outstanding variety series, comes on the heels of seven consecutive nominations for the Comedy Central show — and seven consecutive losses. Colbert has fared much better in the writing category. He’s topped many of the aforementioned competition twice before, most recently in 2010.

The media is a-commenting on the 64th Annual Emmy Awards Broadcast. The verdict? Although dull and predictable, the event was livened up by the comedic talent on the premises: most notably Jon Stewart, who now adds Emmy number 10 to his collection (free sandwich!), and Stephen and Jimmy Fallon, who took it upon themselves to take matters into their own hands this year. A true “seizing of the mustard.”

Quick shout out to my local ABC-Chicago affiliate who proclaimed, along with People magazine, the now epic Emmy Smackdown as one of the evenings top five moments:
