What would happen if you ignored watching the Emmys on television and simply let people on Twitter guide you through the three-hour program? Well, you'd get this:

@SPBVIP: As I tweeted a few months ago: Since 2000 Afr-Amers won 10 lead or supporting Tonys; 7 Oscars ... & no Emmys in regular lead or support roles

@bomani_jones: The emmys are going to turn my timeline into something i could give a damn about. that's weird.

@BrothaYat: Wow ... Betty White looks like she is 100 years old ...

@BrothaYat: If he squeezed Betty any tighter she would have shattered

@chrisquintana: Emmy line #1: "I want to thank my lord & creator, Ryan Murphy" -- Jane Lynch  lol! #emmys

@Deggans: Loved Stephen Colbert's joke, but can Tom Hanks get through an awards ceremony without some presenter cracking a Bosom Buddies joke ... ?

@JulesAGray: If I were at the #emmys, all i'd be wearing is a plastic poncho and pleather cowboy boots

@RickMuscles: So far the comedy writing on the Emmys will not be winning an Emmy.

@karpo: wow -- My boobs never looked like amy pohlers after giving birth #Emmys #notJealous

@minnie6998: I am suspect of a man with 2 first names ... I'm really suspect of a man with 3 first names ... Neil Patrick Harris

@JennyJohnsonHi5: Kim Kardashian just gave me gonorrhea. #Emmys
