The Emmy Award nominations will be announced a week from this Thursday, and The Hollywood Reporter got a bunch of TV stars (both Emmy winners and nominees) together at a roundtable* to discuss the awards, and it's pretty lively.
While Ted Danson talks about it taking nine times before he won the Emmy for Cheers in 1990, David Spade explains that he was more bummed about not winning a Golden Globe for his role on Just Shoot Me more than not winning the Emmy, because he was beaten by Gregory Peck, who won for a really short cameo. Bryan Cranston reveals how his guest stint on The X-Files many years ago led to his role on Breaking Bad, and Alec Baldwin explains that it's actually OK that he doesn't get to swear on 30 Rock like his friends who have pay cable shows can.
Neil Patrick Harris makes some comments that reality show-haters will love.
* For the sake of journalistic accuracy, I actually have no idea if the table was round or not. It could have been a long rectangle.

Why does a picture of an Oompa Loompa accompany this article?

Why not directly link to The Hollywood Reporter? They actually have a video accompanying the transcript...
