OVERHEARD IN THE EMMY FAN BLEACHERS

“What’s his name? ‘Dumb and Dumber!’” was the shout that went up in the fan bleachers when Jeff Daniels strolled the Emmy red carpet.

Forget that Daniels is nominated for a best actor in a drama Emmy for “Newsroom.” Who can forget that classic film role?

Same for Matt LeBlanc, nominated for an Emmy for the comedy “Episodes.”

“Oh my God, ‘Friends’ is my favourite show,” someone shouted as he walked by.

“R.J.! R.J.! You’re the best!” was the greeting R.J. Mitte of “Breaking Bad” received.

He waved back.

EMMY SUPER FAN FAMILY

There’s no missing Salpi Bezdjian and her mother among the fans in the Emmy red carpet bleachers.

The pair were decked out in matching T-shirts embroidered with sequins that read “I (heart) Emmys.”

The 28-year-old Bezdjian, from Pasadena, was taking in her sixth Emmy red carpet.

She arrived with a purse filled with piles of celebrity snapshots and a marker in hopes that some stars might stop by to sign autographs.

So who is her favourite?

“Ryan Seacrest, Michael J. Fox,” she says, starting to count on her fingers, unable to pick just one.

STARTING THE SHOW WITH A BANG

Crash! Shatter!

The sounds had fans in the Emmy bleachers outside the Nokia Theatre momentarily gasping.

Turns out a tall white glass vase filled with purple flowers had tipped over on an entertainment show’s red carpet set.

But no worries. Crew members rushed in to sweep up and bring new flowers.
