Emmys 2016: Winners Of The 68th Annual Emmy Awards
  |  @   |  

The 68th Annual Emmy Awards aired tonight, and host Jimmy Kimmel needed to get to the show. His opening skit was a medley of shows in cars – from our Modern Family to Veep to James Corden of The Late Late Show … leading to their karaoke performance of Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” You just cannot unsee that… but you won’t want to. It all culminates in a Game Of Thrones finale.

Watch the opening bit here and check out the list of nominees and winners just below.
