This moment, right here, with an amazing talent-house like Vergara herself, was so not EMMY worthy: The president of the television industry had Sofia Vergara step up on a spinning pedestal as he spoke. This was simply bad entertainment and objectifying women. As though women do not get enough of this already. We expect such things from entertainment shows, low grade shows, yeah,for sure, but a class act like Emmys…. Naaaaah! This was a total ‘poor-act’ from someone like the EMMYS!

We especially loved this tweet about this gif:

“Work hard,” I whisper to my daughters. “And one day you too could be honored for your talent by being rotated on a platform on live TV.”

The Vergara Gif went viral too, but thankfully, not to objectify her more, but for people and celebrities who expressed this distasteful presentation and objectification of women

• Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie – Martin Freeman for Sherlock: His Last Vow
•  Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie – Kathy Bates for American Horror Story: Coven
•  Outstanding Writing in a Miniseries or Movie – Steven Moffat for Sherlock: His Last Vow
•  Outstanding Reality Competition Show – The Amazing Race
•  Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series – Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Veep

This was by far our most favorite moment in this year’s EMMY Awards: Julia Dreyfus went to the podium to collect her award & Bryan Cranston (this was obviously a planned and or scripted gag) swept her into a deep kiss before she could even reach for the stage area. For those of you who have not watched Seinfeld as closely as some of us at Techdivine have, Bryan Cranston played a role as a Crush of Julia Dreyfus in Seinfeld episodes (Cranston was Dr.Tim Whatley and Julia was of course, Elaine Beness). We all kept saying as we watched this funny Seinfeld moment relived, “Thank God, she is not an anti-dentite” (again,we would request, Watch the Seinfeld episode). Check out the Kiss moment at Emmy 2014 between them and the old scene from the Seinfeld episode.

• Lead Actor in a Comedy Series – Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory

As the internet went wild with both, massive number of Fans of Dr.SHELDON COOPER (The character played by Jim Parsons in THE BIG BANG THEORY) congratulating him, there were of course, the Twitter haters too blaming him and expressing their shock over his win.

But on a very humble and amazingly brilliant note, Jim Parsons made a brilliant speech while accepting this award. He deserves it….. Bazinga!….. No, double Bazinga, he really deserves it. All of us at Techdivine are huge fans of Parsons character in this Top and most popular TV Comedy series show and we loved this moment. Dr.Sheldon Cooper for the win!

Check out his humbling acceptance speech video from Parsons:
