Hello, everybody. For four straight years, "Mad Men" always came out on top as the most-honored drama of all time; it proved to be unstoppable...that is, until now.

"Homeland" reigned supreme at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, claiming not only Outstanding Drama (Showtime's first), but Lead Acting honors for Damian Lewis and Claire Danes; "Mad Men", after all those four years, came up empty-handed. And though Bryan Cranston was denied another Emmy for "Breaking Bad", his co-star Aaron Paul received Supporting Actor while "Downton Abbey's" only main award went to Dame Maggie Smith.

On the comedy side, it was a three-peat for "Modern Family" as it also got Supporting Acting prizes for Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen; Jon Cryer ("Two And a Half Men") and Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep") copped Lead Acting and her third overall. Other winners include "Game Change" (Miniseries/Movie and Lead Actress for Julianne Moore), Kevin Costner (Lead Actor-Miniseries/Movie, "Hatfields & McCoys"), "The Amazing Race" (their ninth Reality Competition Program), Tom Bergeron (Reality Competition Host, "Dancing With The Stars"), Louis C.K., and at 10-0..."The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", who didn't realize that the Emmy Awards are on network television, not cable!

Jimmy Kimmel presided over the ceremonies, and knowing that they were on opposite the New England Patriots vs. Baltimore Ravens on "Sunday Night Football", he even asked Tracy Morgan to play dead onstage. The stunt worked, resulting in a Twitter/Facebook flood. There were also some skits including "Breaking Bad" done "Andy Griffith Show"-style and an In Memoriam tribute to Kimmel himself (the real In Memoriam featured Griffith, Don Cornelius, Steve Jobs, and other departed notables ending with Dick Clark). But according to AddThis, over 75% of Emmy viewers following the show on social media platforms disagreed about Kimmel's monologue.

One thing that was easily agreed on: The red carpet. Prior to the show, there was Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad, Heidi Klum pulling off an Angelina Jolie in her Alexandre Vauthier, Julianne Moore in Raf Simons for Christian Dior, and "2 Broke Girls'" Kat Dennings ramping up the va-va-voom in J. Mendel.

In the end, it was Hayden Panettiere's Marchesa that sizzled the most, while Julianna Margulies (Giambattista Valli)? She fizzled!

We're not sure what the ratings will be for this year's Emmycast, but I know there were millions of views galore for hidden camera video of Mitt Romney being released last week by Mother Jones that may have cost him the election. Speaking at a private fundraiser in Florida in May, Romney went on a jag about the voters who supported President Obama, saying that we pay no taxes and that he thinks the government should foot the bill. And then he said this: 

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax."

47 percent? This is coming from the man who finally disclosed his tax returns and wants to boot Obama out? It turns out that the 47 percent happens to be...either a senior citizen (one-fifth), in college (most scholarships are not taxable), in a big corporation, in a combat zone, or even living in a Red State. Alaska is generally a red state when it comes to elections, but we are last among the non-filers.

In about a month or so, we'll see if those 47 percent will give Romney a taste of his own medicine...unless if he goes Joe the Plumber on us in the October debates. So long and stay strong.
