NEW YORK — Conan O'Brien sang the "Charles in Charge" theme song. It's funny: but it literally could have been one of the ones they picked.

He presented Felicity Huffman with an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, for "Desperate Housewives." Probably the first of many. She thanked Aaron Sorkin for casting her in "Sports Night." That was nice.

WHOA! Patricia Arquette wins over everyone else for Best Actress in a Drama! I don't know who the real favorite was here, but Frances Conroy and Glenn Close seemed more likely. I just wish I liked "Medium" more — then I'd be excited about the upset. She said something about both the hurricane and Iraq, but Blythe Danner's little bit still stands as the only clear anti-war statement of the night.

Dead people montage. I knew I'd cry when they got to Jerry Orbach. They ended it with him, those dirty dogs.
