I can't really comment because to be honest, I haven't watched Extras. However, Steve Carell's pseudo-win was freakin' awesome! With all the nominations for the "Gay Witch Hunt" episode, I was afraid the three would engage in the most awekard three-way kiss. Ever. Cheer to not reliving that!

i really wanted steve carrell to win
2kudos to him for creating the original office. also love extras
3Steve Carell
4i watched Extra one time , didn't find it funny at all , i don't know why he won!
5Charlie Sheen? Are you kidding me? That's not acting.
6Tony Shaloub phoned it in last year. He didn't even try.
Alec Baldwin, much as I think he's the male counterpart to a chicken, absolutely ROCKED THE 30 ROCK HOUSE. Still, too early for those actors to start taking too much away from longstanding shows.
Here's the thing about Steve Carrell (who I think is an incredible actor and I would personally leave my husband for- kidding): if he won, it would be a slap in the face to Ricky Gervais who originated the role. Ricky improvised that character and tweaked it to the perfect example for just the right actor- Steve Carrell. They kind of had to tip their hat to Ricky before they acknowledged The Office.
Team Steve Carrell 08!
i wanted steve to win, but extras is HILARIOUS. and ricky is fantastic in it, so i think he deserved it.
7dont know him, dont know the show so i guess i am undecided.
8Alec or Steve should've taken this one.
9Steve Carrell made me laugh hysterically!!
10Gervais is a deserving winner, but I was cheering for Steve Carrell.
11It was the last season of Extras, so I'm glad Ricky won. Steve Carrell will have more chances in the future.
12I'm in the Steve Carrell camp... he should have won the award, not just 'accepted'
it for Gervais.
13i'm really happy ricky gerveis won. i think he deserved it
14This one was tough because I was rooting for everyone in this category except for Charlie Sheen. Also, I've heard Gervais is kind of an a**, so I would have preferred to see Steve Carell, Tony Shalhoub, or Alec Baldwin win in this category. I do like Extras though.
15alec baldwin totally deserved to win. extras looked funny and all, but alec carries 30 rock, so he should've gotten some recognition. i'd have been ok with tony shalhoub, too...i love monk and he's absolutely brilliant on the show.
16i think he deserved it, but it was a tight race. why can't they give out two?
17Extras is seriously hilarious. A lot of people just haven't seen it. If they had, they would understand!
18Buzz, do you know which Extras episode was submitted on behalf of Gervais? I was hoping he would win and the ep. I had stuck in my mind for why he deserved the Emmy was the episode w/ David Bowie. So painfully funny!
19Agreed! I like Steve but The Office just is not funny.
