The Emmys are going to be 'Horrible'.
Ausiello confirms that "Neil Patrick Harris will headline a Dr. Horrible-themed production number". ETA: Dr Horrible has a plan.
This sounds incredible - I was hoping for something like this. It looks like Dr. H is going to be seen by more people than ever before.

For the first time in my life, I'm looking forward to the Emmys. (Or to bits of them posted online the next day, anyhow--my lack of TV will prevent my from watching in real time).

It'll be interesting.
yeah, Darkness, tomorrow, but it'll be technically almost monday morning in your timezone. It's starting 8pm EST if I'm not mistaken.
The ceremony E! showed yesterday was the Creative Arts Emmys which happened last Saturday. As you can see the Primetime Emmy awards include a very wide range of awards, most of them are not presented in the "main" ceremony tomorrow (you'll see the creative arts awards mentioned at some point during the ceremony). So it was just taped and edited down ceremony, unlike tomorrow which will be live.
In Brazil we'll get the broadcast from Sony, which will also be showing TV Guide Channel's red carpet coverage.
At least won't have to endure the lameass critic commentator TNT usually hires when they get to show the awards ceremony live.

Is it too much to hope for there being a new song?

Darkness, there are two Emmy ceremonies. The big one is Sunday evening but the more technical/creative awards were given out separately last week. That ceremony included the Dr. Horrible award.

I was already quite curious when NPH was hosting, but now I really want to see this thing. Does anyone know if it will be broadcast on some European channel as well? Otherwise, I do hope atleast the relevant bits turn up online.

No way. Doc can interfer with a show even take over people at the show and make them sing and dance...but he can't interfer with the commercials.
I'll start taping early just in case.

It's: Josh, Jedi, Spam, Mate, Zac and Squeaky.
Jeez.
Looking forward to The Emmyriffic Interception, no matter how it's spelt. Spelled. And glad to see more Whedons hitting the boards.
Lookit - it's an Emmy-winning Whedon. *waves*

Yay for Dr. Horrible invading the Emmys!!!
Can't believe I should be able to watch the entire show before work...although the desire to ff through all the boring, non-NPH, Dr. Horrible, How I Met Your Mother parts is kind of an issue, but I'll get over it.

It really is pretty astonishing, when you think about it - who'd a thunk little Doc Horrible would have grown up to be such a fiercesome contender?
Well, us, obviously, but I mean, really? The Emmys?
It's the Little Web Series That Could.
QuoterGal | September 20, 10:30 CET
I have really gotten used to not watching award shows. I enjoy not watching them because it makes me feel superior to anyone who takes award shows seriously. Neil Patrick Harris hosting the Emmys is an actual positive reason to watch it. By hiring NPH to host the show, the bastards running the Emmys have got me where they want me and I'm none too happy about it. NPH is awesome, entertaining, funny, quick on his feet, I'm sure he'll do an amazing job, but four hours of pretty people walking to their marks and reading off teleprompters.. I'll see the highlights tomorrow on YouTube, without commercials.

You could always just leave the tv on while you read the discussion online.

"I enjoy not watching them because it makes me feel superior to anyone who takes award shows seriously."
Plenty of us watch 'em while not taking 'em seriously, that's another option (occasionally, in my case--those 3 or 4 hours could be spent watching actual content-filled TV instead. Or reading).
But yes, next-day highlights might be the best option.
I hope the Canadian feed doesn't override my CBS signal and have me miss out (until the next-day online highlights).
Edited for me being a mental-case
