The 53rd Emmy Awards（在线收听）

MC: Thomas Schlamme has ¹⁾previously won Emmys for his direction of ER, Tracy Takes On and The West Wing!

Thomas Schlamme: Thank you. I had an ²⁾image of myself as a fourth grader frightened that my teacher was going to catch me carrying an AM radio in my pocket, listening to the seventh game of the World Series, and if I had used all my dreams and all my imagination at that time in my life, I could have never imagined that I’d be ³⁾nominated for an Emmy,  let alone win one and still be ⁴⁾petrified that I’m ⁵⁾sneaking in with an AM radio to listen to the seventh game. And in these times, I have to say it’s very reassuring for me to know that some things never change.

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne Brady!

Wayne Brady: Hello, howdy. Now I’m really excited to be here and before I came I got calls from all sorts of friends on advice whether or not to appear tonight. A really good friend of mine I think some of you know him James Brown called me and he, and I said, “James, what should I do?” He said, ⁶⁾”Any way that send a guy that done the board that done the stage on the tennis turnout on the end of the dock.” And I said, “OK.” And then Little Richard called me and he said, “Oh Wayne, shut up! You need to go if they gonna give you a ticket, if they don’t then give it to me, whoahhhh!” And then finally I got advice from a man that I respect a lot the ⁷⁾Reverend Jesse Jackson called me. I said, “Reverend, what should I do?” And he said, “If there are cameras on the show, then clearly my brother, you must go!” So following the good Reverend’s orders, I came here and I’m here to introduce the nominees for Outstanding Writing on a Variety, Music or Comedy Program.

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, CNN’s noted journalist and Emmy Award winner, Larry King!

Larry King: Thank you very much. You know when ⁸⁾crises come, entertainers do what they do best, they ⁹⁾entertain. They inspire the home front, they travel the world to cheer our troops. Some of them, as you’re about to see, are or were very famous. Many of them are or were, not famous at all, but more importantly than the songs they sing or the jokes they tell is a simple fact: they’ve always been there sharing their humanity, sharing their faith that the simple things--one liners, tap dancing, the healing power of a hug from a home must ¹⁰⁾ultimately ¹¹⁾prevail. Over the years the beat of their music changes, but the heart beneath it never wavers.CE

09、第53届艾美奖颁奖典礼

司仪∶汤马士·施拉姆曾凭《仁心仁术》、《翠丝时间》及《白宫群英》赢得最佳编导奖！

汤马士·施拉姆∶谢谢！记得我念四年级时，害怕老师发现我口袋里的收音机，我当时正偷听世界职业棒球锦标赛战情。如果当年我用尽梦想和想象力，今天准不会获得艾美奖提名，更不会胜出。我仍然有一点胆战心惊，因为我偷偷带了收音机听棒球赛战情。在这时候，知道有些事永远不会改变，这让我很安慰。

司仪∶各位观众，韦恩·布兰迪！

韦恩·布兰迪∶大家好！真叫人兴奋，我来之前所有朋友都打电话给我，建议我今晚该不该出席。一个好朋友打给我，相信你们也认识的——詹姆士·布朗。我问他：“詹姆士，我该怎么办？”他说：“你还是让别人去吧！”我说：“好的。”然后小理查打给我，他这样说∶“韦恩，闭嘴！你非去不可。他们不颁奖给你，你也要抢回来；他们没颁奖给你，就会颁奖给我！”最后一个我很敬重的人杰西·杰克逊给我建议。我问他：“牧师，我该怎么做？”他回答道：“只要可以上镜就一定要去！”所以，我听牧师的建议来了。现在我宣读最佳编剧（综合/音乐节目/喜剧）奖候选人名单。

司仪∶各位观众，CNN著名新闻主播兼艾美奖得主——拉利·金！

拉利·金∶谢谢你们！危机当前，艺人有力出力，以表演娱乐大众。他们提升国民情绪，慰劳海外驻军。有些艺人声名显赫，有些默默无闻。然而，每一首歌，每一个笑话都流传青史，发挥人性，传递信心。不管是一句名言，一场踢踏舞，还是一个拥抱都深印我们脑海。音乐随年代而变，但爱心却不变。CE
