The Emmys have come and gone. Noticeably not there or included was the brilliant FX show, "Sons of Anarchy." Happy to see the HBO effort "Grey Gardens" get recognized for excellence. Also very happy to report the brilliant actress Toni Collette took the win for Best Actress in a comedy for Showtime. Bryan Cranston winning for AMC's amazing series "Breaking Bad" made my night.
