In Buzzed, we take a look at things that trended over the weekend while you were away from your keyboard getting buzzed.
In this glittery, gown-draped edition of Buzzed, we’re counting down the seven most GIF-worthy moments from the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards.
On Sunday night’s program, new shows shared the coveted golden awards with some old favorites. Showtime’s Homeland raked in four awards, including Best Drama. ABC’s Modern Family predictably won Best Comedy for the third time, but most puzzling, Jon Cryer won for his role on Two and a Half Men.
While the three hour telecast was mostly yawn-inducing and featured few surprises, the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted award show did feature some moments worthy of being turned into GIFs.
