Here we have "The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards", an annual even that honors the best of the best from the small screen and this one here was shows back in 2013. Host is Neil Patrick Harris, so yes lots of music in here as you expected. Some good, some not so good. I think the highlight of these slightly over 2 hours were the winners though. I personally liked quite a few of these, certainly more than usual like Cromwell, Breaking Bad, Modern Family, Parsons, Hale and Burstyn. Biggest surprise of the night was probably Best Actor in a Drama Series, especially looking at all the other glories for "Breaking Bad". There were several funny moments all in all, Spacey was great early on, Ferrell also did a nice job with the way he was closing the show. A great deal of love for "Behind the Candelabra" too, a movie that was actually a big screen release here in Germany. Overall i give this awards show a major thumbs-up. It had decent entertainment value, even if it wasn't really thanks to NPH. Still people who like him will think differently probably, but good for them. They will enjoy this show even more. The way the categories were presented was nice and same goes for the in memoriam segment and also most of the acceptance speeches weren't bad either. Merritt Wever pulled a Joe Pesci here. All in all, I think that this show is still worth seeing today, even if you know and remember most of the winners. Major thumbs-up from me and the Emmys can only hope they get as good again as they were back in 2013. Very witty and rewarding for the audience. Never dragged despite the pretty massive runtime.
