8:34 PM Michael Douglas calls Behind the Candelabra “probably the greatest screenplay I've ever been involved with.” More than Wall Street? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

6:39 PM Sarah Bromell on her late husband Henry Bromell, who won for writing on Homeland: “His father was a CIA station chief — he's now 93…Henry's parents moved from Greece to Cairo, Jordan, Tehran…Writing became a constant in his life, kind of out of loneliness…and intrigue w/ the CIA”

On her husband's episode: “It contains a 20-page interrogation scene where Carrie turns Brody…It was really difficult to know how to do that. It was…a huge puzzle piece in the whole season.”

5:31 PM Pundit talking points on Tony Hale winning: 1. M Family vote split 2. Arrested Development exposure 3. He's actually better than the others
